I absolutely love the fall. My favorite time of the year hands down. The cooler weather, the changing colors, the time for reflection and rest. It’s a beautiful time of the year. There’s just one problem – I can’t find my favorite fruit – the Watermelon. Yes – I love watermelon. In the summer, you can find anywhere from 4-6 watermelons on my kitchen floor just waiting for…
Believe it or not Earth Day is almost 50 years old. The first official Earth Day occurred in the US on April 22, 1970 to bring awareness to our environment and how our treatment of it affects our present and future quality of life. It inspired the formation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Clean Air Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Toxic Substances Control Act, among…
One of the main teas I drink throughout the day s Dandelion root. I absolutely love it. I’ve never been a big coffee drinker, but to me (and I KNOW I’m in the minority here when I say this!) dandelion tea is more rich and flavorful than coffee. If you garden, you might consider dandelions a relentless weed. BUT THINK AGAIN! This gorgeous and unique flower is a…
This is Charlie Brown. My adorable little shih-tzu mix. I have a great veterinarian, but last year when he was two years old, I was told that Charlie’s right kidney would need to be removed. There was fluid build-up and it could eventually be fatal if the kidney ruptured. I was devastated. When I asked the doctor how the condition occurred, he didn’t know. Then I asked…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is in the air! And the stores, restaurants, and florists! The marketing pros encourage us to show our loved ones how much we care and appreciate them with our money. And let’s face it – it usually works! But of course we also know that one of the best ways to care for our loved ones is to first take care of ourselves to…
According to statistics, one third of people who make New Year’s resolutions will break their promises to themselves by Valentine’s Day. What a downer! What is a resolution, really? In my opinion it’s a catch all for recognizing that we want to achieve something. A little more of this or maybe a lot less of that. Perhaps, we want to explore some new interests or actively seek out…
Hi there! Ever heard the saying “Ignore an itch long enough and it will go away?” I used to only think about it in the literal sense. Like trying not to scratch an insect bite so there wouldn’t be a scar. But now I’m sure the person who came up with the saying had to be some kind of spiritual guru or something because the discipline it takes…
Yesterday, I read that the Journal of American Medical Association found that medical treatment is the 3rd leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer, respectively. That’s very disheartening, to say the least. Here’s another scary fact. Based on a study done in England in 2014, approximately 8.4% of cancer patients died within 30 days of starting chemotherapy treatment. Meaning the “cure” for cancer killed patients faster…
Often times we get so eager to get on the other side of our health concerns that we are willing to try all the new things that the latest research has to offer or go straight for the most drastic change so that we can get back to our bad habits as fast as possible. We want to get to that advanced point on our path so badly,…
Happy 4thof July! Holidays are those times when all of the things we love come together – good food and family & friends. But when you’ve decided to change your eating to elevate your health, holidays can be a little tricky. I mean, first of all, there’s just so much delicious food involved. Then you may have friends and family that are skeptical or even flat out against…
