HEALTHY EATING / CONFIDENT COOK

By Cary Neff

The jalapeño provides a warm and welcoming introduction for people who want to learn more about cooking with chilies. They’re not crazy hot like a habanero or cautiously cool like a bell pepper. They’re somewhere in the middle, providing the perfect balance between yikes! and yawn.

Aside from invigorating your taste buds, the jalapeño — generally green in the summer and red in the autumn — offers a seductive contrast to both sweet and salty foods. Psychologist Paul Rozin claims that eating chilies is a bit like rid-ing a roller coaster; both are forms of “constrained risk,” letting people enjoy extreme sensations like pain and fear without experiencing any real harm.

Don’t think of the jalapeño as the ultimate Six Flags ride, though. It’s more like a culinary version of the tilt-a-whirl. The fact that chilies are the most widely grown spice in the world is proof that everyone likes a little thrill, especially in the kitchen.

Celebrate summer with spicy jalapeño peppers. These versatile chilies wake up your taste buds — and fight inflammation, too.

The Heat Is On

Nutrition Know-How• The phytochemical cap-saicin, which is the source of the chili pepper’s heat, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Capsaicin inhibits substance P, a neuropeptide associated with inflammation, and is a common ingredient in pain-relieving formulas for inflammatory-related condi-tions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and joint pain.

• Capsaicin also increases circulation and reduces choles-terol. In places where people eat more chilies, there are low-er rates of heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism. Capsaicin further increases the body’s metabolic rate and helps clear congestion.

• Chilies are mistakenly thought to cause ulcers. In fact, capsaicin has antibac-terial properties that help prevent ulcers.

• In addition to being a good source of dietary fiber and a wide range of vitamins and minerals, chilies are also loaded with cancer-fighting antioxidants.

• Like tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant, chilies belong to the nightshade family, which contains alkaloids. So if you are sensitive to nightshade plants, be aware that chilies (and other peppers) may prove prob-lematic for you.

• Also avoid hot peppers if you have gastroesophageal reflux disorder or irritable bowel syndrome.

Add small-diced roasted (or raw) jalapeños to salads, soups, sauces, sandwiches and egg dishes for a flavor boost and a kick of heat.

Spike some vinegar with sliced jalapeños and a little garlic for your own homemade hot sauce to drizzle over meat and beans, and into soups and salsas.

Grill jalapeños whole to serve with barbecue, fajitas and grilled chicken.

Bell (Mild: 0)The mildest chili, bell peppers start out green and ripen on the vine to red, yellow, orange and purple varieties — which is why the green bells are not as sweet as the oth-ers. Good raw in salads, sautéed for stir fries or fajitas, in soups, and as toppings for all types of sandwiches. Try mixing up colors for variety in appearance and taste.

The Heat Index Here’s a guide to the most common peppers com-mercially available, with their Scoville rating (which measures chilies’ heat). The higher the number on the Scoville scale, the more capsaicin a chili has — and the hotter it is. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the chili, the hotter it is likely to be.

Use chipotles (smoke-dried jalapeños) in adobo sauce to add smoky heat to dishes. Remember: A little goes a long way! ➺

Quick &Easy

Banana (Mild: 0–500)Often confused with the yellow wax pepper, which is hotter, the banana pepper is often served pickled — as is another mild chili, the pepperoncino (pepperoncini is the plural form of the word).

Anaheim (Mild: 500–2,500)A mild, large chili that’s perfect for stuffing, the Anaheim has tough skin, so you need to remove it before eating. Char the chili over a flame, let it steam in a sealed paper bag, then peel the skin. Great for use in chili rellenos and other Mexican and New Mexican dishes.

Poblano (Mild: 1,000–1,500)Once in a while you can get a poblano with a little more kick, but it usually has a mild flavor. The heart-shaped poblano is sweeter and a wee bit hotter than most Anaheims. It is also more tender, making it perfect for salsa, for stuffing, and for cooking as a base for green chili or tomatillo sauce.

Jalapeño (Medium: 2,500–8,000)With its peppery kick, the jalapeño is perfect for adding heat to most dishes. Use it in salsas, sauces and salads. Smoked jalapeños are called chipotle peppers; they are found canned in adobo sauce. Use chipotles in salsas, sauces, marinades and dressings where you want some heat and smoky flavor.

Serrano (Hot: 10,000–25,000)With a bright, crisp taste — and a bite — the serrano is typically eaten raw. Because they have thin walls, you don’t have to steam, char or peel serranos before using them. Enjoy in pico de gallo.

Habanero (Exceptionally Hot: 100,000–350,000)The habanero is extremely hot and rather fruity, and a little goes a very long way. If you can stand the heat, it’s great for homemade hot sauces and salsas (although beginners should probably steer clear of this fiery chili).

PRINT ADS

Promote your brand to millions of avid, health-conscious readers through print ads in a variety of sizes: two-page spreads, single page or 1/3 page. Choose to run an ad as a single campaign or as part of a broader media package.

(In-Club Television) 60” plasma screens are positioned throughout the club in the direct line of sight of our stationary machines and weight-training area. So your brand will cut through the clutter with commercials and custom content displayed on our in-club television network that features full motion, sight and sound.

Our 50” digital displays are featured in heavily traveled areas throughout the club, and are intended to give members important club information and brand messaging in high definition. With more than 140 spots per day, per screen, your message will be seen.

Highly customizable signage, such as banners and posters, can help your brand target a specific audience. Whether you segment by gender, geographic region or event, in-club signage enables your brand to reach its target quickly and effectively.

Product sampling — with our team of brand ambassadors or yours — engages your audience and integrates your brand with our member experience.

Sponsorships directly connect your brand to our members through the activities they’re most passionate about — from group fitness classes (950,000 participants per month) and in-club training groups to athletic events and in-club programs.

beyond our club locations with the addition of the

Premier Fitness Network and the College Fitness

Network. Both are uniquely targeted to highly

engaged audiences that are keenly interested in a

healthy way of life.

EXTENDED

REACHTO A FITNESS AUDIENCE.THE PREMIER FITNESS NETWORK

When broad reach is secondary to deep integration, Life Time Fitness

Media offers the Premier Fitness Network. Located in more than 450

health and fitness centers in 45 states, the Premier Fitness Network

provides access to an additional audience with broad and impressive

reach. Featuring the same media in all locations nationwide, the Premier

Fitness Network offers full-motion sight and sound video, digital

signage, posters and sampling, resulting in a fast-growing number of

very satisfied advertising partners.

THE COLLEGE FITNESS NETWORK

If tomorrow’s consumers are your target today, the College Fitness

Network is your hunting grounds. A large number of college students

are dedicated to fitness and spend a high percentage of their

disposable income pursuing it. This concentrated audience spends on

a wide variety of products and services. After graduation, spending will

grow and their affinity to brands held dear at this time can have high

“stickiness” — so it is key to capture attention and brand loyalty now.

With more than 100 colleges and universities located across the country

utilizing the College Fitness Network, your message will not be missed

by the college market. Students today make time for fitness in their lives,

and are aware of and engaged by messages from our partners across a

variety of platforms during their workout routines.

Every year, Life Time creates more ways to encourage

the competitive spirit, from 5K fun runs to mountain

bike trail races to the challenging Leadman 250K

Triathlon. When you sponsor a Life Time event or one

of our yearlong training clubs, you fuel the fire within

passionate athletes. They train early and often. And

the brands that train with them become part of their

inner circle.

Sponsor a season of training and your brand is

there every step of the way, from the first workout

to race day to results. Because your brand is there

from the beginning, it becomes a badge of pride for

the athletes, and a source of inspiration for the tens

of thousands of spectators and viewers cheering

them on.

SMALL ATHLETES.

The Life Time Kids Triathlon is a great way for

your brand to reach parents and grandparents in

a positive, family-friendly atmosphere. This fun and

challenging event for kids ages 7 to 14 is an ideal

introduction to the sport. Young athletes swim in a

pool or lake, bike on a closed-off path, and run a

short course to the finish line hoping to get the

fastest combined times — with families loudly

cheering them on. It’s one of the most family-friendly

events of the season and definitely one your brand

shouldn’t miss.

SHARING THE EXCITEMENT OF

RACE DAY

The race-day experience is no longer limited to the finish line now that new

online, mobile and social outlets allow friends and family to engage with

race participants like never before. As a sponsoring partner, combining

your message within those social shares, tweets and posts can garner you

unbeatable results that drive ROI through the roof.

ChronoTrack, a Life Time-owned company offering race technology solutions

and services, is creating new media opportunities to engage with event

participants and their social networks. Life Time now offers unparalleled

sponsorship activation options, which will allow your brand to outperform the

competition. Combining your message with our event-day information can

create powerful results. At the 2012 Minneapolis Torchlight Run, real-time

post-race results were batch emailed as participants crossed the finish line.

Open rate on that email was 84%, with more than 5,500 impressions made

in less than one hour.

This platform also includes bib logo placement on up to 3 million race

participants. Your logo appears on the bibs of all 3 million racers across the

country or choose your markets.

Why Train With Heart Rate?

Sometimes going harder and faster isn’t the best way to make the most of your training. If you want to improve your fitness and see results sooner, you need to workout at the right intensity.

Exercise can be divided into different intensity zones – each with a corresponding health and fitness benefit. With a quick glance at your Polar heart rate monitor, you’ll always know which zone you’re in, making sure you’re not over or under training. Use Polar as your wrist-based coach, guiding and motivating you each and every time you train so every session counts.

Visit your local Life Time Fitness training department to get started.
