Balance and Nutrition 5

My Healthy Food

Too Sweet to Eat? If you are like me, and grew up thinking that an animal had to be at the center of your plate to make a nice meal, this image of a chick being considered “healthy food” may not have shocked you at all.

What might shock you is knowing that, holiday meals can be healthy and nourishing without sacrificing an animal to make it so!

Why not try something new? Why not see how it makes you feel? Small changes yield big results – why not give it a try?

My Balanced Life

A Healthy Heart is a Happy Heart: According to the American Heart Association (AMA), heart disease claims the lives of at least 800,000 (1 out of every 5) American men and women each year. As nutrition plummets to an all-time low, sedentary lifestyles are escalating.

Physical activity can play a key role in supporting a healthy heart. In addition to everything movement does for our bodies on the outside, it’s often what we don’t see happening on the inside that has the greatest impact on our overall health and wellness.
