Our body is greatly affected by what we put in it. If we treat it to processed, un-natural, chemically treated, high fat foods it will go through high processes to digest these so-called foods, we will look and feel un-natural, we will suffer symptoms of chemical overload and we will have a high fat content […]

We’ve all heard someone say at one time or another “cool your jets” but what I’ve heard quite often lately is “cool your joints”. Yes, all the joints in your body that ache can be alleviated simply by healthy eating. Some folks have food triggers that lead to stomach aches, backache, headaches and even sore, […]

A few years ago I read a book written by Don Gerrard called One Bowl which leads the reader through mindful eating that nourishes the body and spirit; it’s a good book and worth reading if you’re working on understanding why we relate to food in the ways we currently do. While I work with […]

Sure every country has their traditions whether it’s tea time, siesta, cheese & wine midday, bread and fruit dinners, bread and milk before bed or any other daily custom but it seems that here in North America food is used and abused too often. We’re […]

Food means something different for each of us. For me it means satisfaction, indulgence, self-complimentary ( I think I’m a pretty good cook), savory as in savoring the positive moments in life because I had many negative moments throughout my life, gorging on second helpings because of past limitations, my excuse for eating more than […]

Cleaning is an indoor-outdoor and inside-outside body chore. Well, maybe when it comes to your body, chore isn’t the right word, clean inside and out is necessary for good health.
