Adelle Davis created a breakfast drink she dubbed “Pep-Up.” Here is a recipe from her multi-million-copy-selling 1954 classic: Let’s Eat Right To Keep Fit.

• 1 quart skim, low fat, or whole milk, preferably medically certified raw
• 1 teaspoon to ½ cup yeast (depending on whether you are a beginner or a veteran yeast fan)
• ¼ to ½ cup powdered milk (not instant)
• 1 tablespoon soy, peanut, or safflower oil or mixed vegetable oils
• ½ teaspoon magnesium oxide
• 1 tablespoon granular lecithin (more if blood cholesterol is above 180 milligrams per 100 cc.)
• 1 or 2 eggs, as desired
• ½ cup frozen, undiluted orange juice or ½ cup apricot nectar or grape juice or ½ banana or 3 or 4 tablespoons chunk pineapple or frozen berries or any strong-flavored fruit
• Stir or blend together and drink

Lets Cook It Right, Page#: 484

Amount for 4 servings:

1/4 cup                 White granulated sugar

1/2 cup                 Whole dry powdered milk

1/8 tsp                  Table salt

2 cups                   Whole milk

2                              Large eggs

1/2 tsp                  Vanilla extract

1/2 cup                 Peach halves

Later in Oakland, California, and then in Los Angeles, she worked as a consulting nutritionist with physicians at the Alameda County Health Clinic and the William E. Branch Clinic in Hollywood as well as seeing patients referred to her by numerous specialists. After planning individual diets for more than 20,000 people suffering form almost every known disease, she gave up consulting work to devote her time to her family, writing, and lecturing.

Adelle Davis was the author of four best selling books, “Let’s Cook It Right”, “Let’s Have Healthy Children”, “Let’s Get Well”, and “Let’s Eat Right To Keep Fit”.

Adelle Davis was a visionary. When going back through her history it is amazing to realize the impact Adelle had on the most recent and popular diets that are the craze now. Dr. Barry Sears, author of “The Zone” speaks very highly of Adelle Davis and her impact on his discoveries. Thirty years ago Adelle Davis was a supporter of Dr. Atkins-founder of “The Atkins Diet”.

Adelle Davis was the pioneer of the nutritional revolution. Her teachings and writings influenced the people striving for health and wellness long before our time.

At this time Adelle Davis’s books are still selling. In the near future, The Adelle Davis Foundation will be making an effort to revitalize Adelle’s legacy. We hope to provide her books on CD and provide scholarships for students studying nutrition related to Adelle’s studies.

Thank You,

Eloise Dilling,

Executive Director, President of the Board of Directors of the Adelle Davis Foundation.

City Youth Program Gets Kids in the Kitchen and Out in the Culinary World

The big, industrial-strength Blodgett stove blasts heat into the kitchen, but 10 teens remain cool in their busy buzz as they prep twice-baked potatoes. One, gingerly handling the nubbin of the cheddar cheese block, worries, “I’m going to grate my fingers into the cheese,” only for Chef Ian Trenwith, teacher for the program, to jokingly reply, “Fingers are okay, no nails.”

But perhaps Trenwith isn’t joking, for the students in the Teen Culinary Arts Program—which runs from February 3 to May 26 and is sponsored by Santa Barbara Parks & Recreation, the Santa Barbara Foundation, Bragg Health Foundation, and the Adelle Davis Foundation—are certainly getting their fingers deep into the world of the kitchen, from cooking to catering. This new pilot program, part of HOT (Healthy Options for Teens), is aptly billed as a “window into the life of a food chef or a special event coordinator.” What that description leaves out is just how much fun it all seems to As the potatoes bake in the oven, Chef Trenwith—who owns Jolly Brothers Caterers and rents out the Westside Center’s kitchen on West Victoria Street in addition to working with the kids there—preps the teens for their first big coming out: a VIP luncheon they’ll be preparing on April 1. Grabbing a sauté pan, filling it with cooked pasta, and dabbling that with sauce, he smoothly goes into the chef’s traditional toss instead of a stir. Soon, all the students try, too, and instead of a gloppy pasta-plosion across the kitchen, things tend to go well, if often timidly. Still the effort, the joy, the accomplishment—you can’t help but see it on each student’s face… (Read more at independent.com)

Adelle Davis Foundation Comments:

What we were most proud of was the communities response to this program. This response can be found in the comments section at the independent.com:

“This is exactly the type of program that kids need: I don’t know Anita Ho or Chef Trenwith, but it’s clear they’re doing a great job. Kudos to Bragg, Adelle Davis, SB Foundations and SBPR for supporting them.

Cooking is fun, life-giving and easier than people think. It’s also the single best way to prevent obesity, and many chronic illnesses. I am lucky to teach on TV and online with ChefMD, but the most satisfying teaching is hands-on in the kitchen.

And for health, how you cook is as important as what you cook, to prevent and treat illness,. But just starting is what’s really important.”

Keep up the great work!

The Adelle Davis Foundation is a proud sponsor of the UCSB Wellness Program, Eloise Dilling, Gabe Dominocielo and Patricia Bragg attended a thank-you luncheon at the UCSB Faculty Club. After lunch, our group went to the UCEN Wellness Center which is located next to the Visitor’s Center (Pictured to the right). Both the Adelle Davis Foundation and the Bragg Health Foundation gave gifts to UCSB.

THE UCSB WELLNESS PROGRAM  SAYS:

At UCSB, the term “wellness” describes a three-tiered approach to student services. This approach supports healthier learning environments through the provision of services that treat and prevent illness/ injury Tier 1, promote health Tier 2 and the pursuit of flourishing Tier 3. The UCSB Wellness Program emphasizes the third tier. Its goal is to encourage all students to flourish at UCSB through positive engagement. This goal is met by connecting students to strength-based campus and community resources and opportunities.

Strength-based campus and community resources offer students the opportunity to engage in activities that encourage them to be:

• BALANCED: Giving the physical, mental, and social dimensions of one’s life significant attention has clear health and academic benefits.

• PROACTIVE: Intentional activities are well documented to be the most promising determinant of long-term happiness.

• POSITIVE: Positive Psychology provides a research base for the pursuit of flourishing via the three routes to happiness:
  1. Pleasures: Increase positive emotions through forgiveness, savoring, and hope.
  2. Enjoyments: Use one’s strengths to pursue “flow” activities that often result in heightened states of awareness, confidence and performance.
  3. Meaning: Use one’s strengths to join others in community contribution.
