No One Runs In Your Family
“Obesity runs in the family.” “Heart Disease runs in the family” “Depression runs in the family” I hear these types of statements all the time. The more that I learn about the human body, the more I realize that what we expose our bodies to every day – food, exercise, toxins, etc – far outweigh our “genetics”. Is everyone in your family overweight? It’s not in your genes. For those of you reading this, I hope you find this to be good news.

Read MoreFood Dyes: Are they Safe?
I have been watching the bloggers from 100 Days of Real Food and Food Babe fight for Kraft to remove food dyes from their products. I have signed the petition personally, and I encourage you to do the same! But first, check out their recent interview with Dr. Oz to learn more about how food dyes affect your body: Right now it is more about providing cheap food to the american people rather than REAL food that’s healthy and safe. Unfortunately, I don’t think that Kraft is going to change by a few hundred thousand people signing a petition. Kraft – and any other company out there! – will only change once it makes sense for them financially as a business. If everyone who signs the petition is still buying their products with dyes in it, change won’t happen....

Best and Worst Food at Subway
Subway is one of the largest chain restaurant in the world. Chances are, you have probably eaten at Subway. If you are going to eat at Subway, I think it’s important to know which foods are the best or the worst. Best Food at Subway The salad listed below is the best choice at Subway since the bread they use (even the 9 grain!) has over 50 ingredients that are not good for you (read my final thoughts below). However, I thought I’d at least provide the best sandwich that Subway has to offer. Both don’t have meat or cheese because trust me…you don’t want to have Subway’s meats or cheeses (again, read my final thoughts below in the final paragraph). Veggie Delite® Salad Calories: 50 Total Fat: 1 gm Protein: 3 gm Sodium: 80 mg Carbohydrates: 9 gm Fiber: 4 gm Sugar:...
Read MoreDigestion: Processed vs. Whole Foods
Have you ever wondered what it takes for your body to digest your food? Maybe not, but I think that you should consider watching this short video clip. It will show how your body digests your food, and specifically the differences between processed food (Chicken Top Ramen, Blue Gatorade and Gummi Bears) versus Whole Foods (Hibiscus Gatorade, Homemade Chicken Stock and Noodles, Pomegranate/Cherry Juice Gummi Bears). The meals are comparable, but very different when it comes to food quality and health. Feel free to follow us, however you...
