It’s 17 days until summer! Your health tip today is on making the right choices with the produce that you eat. I am a strong advocate for organic foods. I understand that they cost more but you are getting a better quality food. Conventional foods have a lot of chemicals in them which doesn’t seem like a big deal to most but think of how many POUNDS OF CHEMICALS you are ingesting through the years. Do you think that could impact your health in a negative way?

Look for the farmer markets that will be opening soon in your area. Ask the farmers if they use pesticides and herbicides. Many farmers are not using them but cannot claim to be “organic”. I included an article about organic food and why we should be eating it. I also like the produce wash the author suggested as well as the list of conventional veggies that have the least amount of toxic exposure.

Have a great day and Be Well!

It’s 19 days until summer! Did you know that what you actually put into your body to use as food can impact your mood? If you are feeling sad or sluggish, look to your choices in food for an answer.

It’s three weeks until summer! I thought this was a great article to read because it talks about being in PRESENT TIME when you are eating. Many of us eat too fast, eat on the run or eat while doing something else. This leads to poor food choices and extra calorie consumption. When eating your next meal, be in PRESENT TIME and enjoy the flavors of your food. It may help your waistline.

23 more days until summer! Your health tip today is about balancing your level of cleanliness. This article talks about germ exposure and how it decreases your chances of allergies. Interesting article. It made me think about the differences between the health of those of us growing up in the 70’s or earlier compared to the kids today. We were constantly outside, drinking from hoses, sharing food, climbing trees, and playing with dogs and cats. To my recollection, there were no bleach wipes or anti-bacterial sprays. We did have soap and water! I do not recall the use of inhalers or someone not being able to come out and play because of an allergy. Enjoy the article and have a great day!
