All I ever needed to know about health, I learned from being pregnant.

I've always taken decent care of myself but it wasn't until I became pregnant that I learned what it truly was to be healthy. All of my behaviors revolved around what was best to grow my baby. I chose foods that would fuel me, I drank more water and I stopped drinking caffeine and alcohol. I exercised but in moderation every day. Not too much, not too little. I meditated more and took time to breathe.... 11/8/2007 8:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
It's exciting to see so many blogs on the importance of eating more (lots more!) fruits and vegetables. It has been a huge blind spot in my industry (fitness) for years and in other fields as well. As I educate about the difference between eating whole foods/adding a whole food supplements and the more familiar isolated vitamin supplements, the question that almost always comes up is: "What about calcium?"... 11/8/2007 5:14:09 AM

With sooo much information available today on what to eat (or not ), when to eat it (or not ), it's become increasingly difficult for many people to make a simple decision about personal meal planning.

Embrace Change!

About Me View My Posts
Change Is The Very Essence Of Life! So often, in life, we find ourselves in the same old routine. We ask people the age-old question, "How are things going?". We get the age-old answer...same old thing...different day. It's sometimes hard to believe that we were completely opposite of this as children. As children, we lived our lives with constant change. As a matter of fact, each day, sometimes each... 11/7/2007 2:51:50 PM

In today's world, with industrial toxins, genetically engineered foods, reduced ozone and mineral depletion in our soils, cell phones, blackberries, new adjuncts to our ever-expanding technologically dominated world, there are myriad sources of distraction and as a result, increased stress.

About Me View My Posts
My friend Matt Grace was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord degeneration and was basically told that he would never walk again. After he healed himself, Matt wrote a great book called "A Way Out." In his book, written in 2000, Matt says, "Food companies are responsible for millions of deaths per year and tens of millions of obese citizens; I really do not understand the difference between... 11/6/2007 11:49:07 PM

About Me View My Posts
If your friends are fat - watch out, states a recent news article. A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that one of the strongest associations in the spread of obesity is your relationship with obese friends. It's not some new virus that's recently been discovered, the articles go on to say, but the behavioral influence. It seems obesity is socially contagious. The study... 11/6/2007 11:47:46 PM

A report in spring 2007 from the CDC on Americans... 11/6/2007 11:46:41 PM

Breast Cancer & Diet
by Meg Wolff
About Me View My Posts
Transitioning with Vegetables As I've mentioned before, I believe that even small changes can make a difference in a person's health. I had advanced breast cancer, so I did the whole-meal deal (macrobiotic healing diet extrodinaire!), and I'm glad I did (cancer-free and healthy nine years later). I love this way of eating and the way it makes me feel and look. I have no more constant hunger, I eat... 11/6/2007 8:00:00 AM

While television has long been blamed for the rise in childhood obesity and diminished reading among children, this study, authored by Dr. Aric Sigman, suggests even more serious consequences for children who... 11/5/2007 8:00:00 AM
