As Parents it Starts With Us - We can be role models for our children by the way we care for ourselves. Healthy families can produce healthy children. It is important to support our children’s health, one healthy meal at a time. Getting children to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables is a good start.

What Should I Eat? - We are constantly bombarded with health information, but it is often useless information. With just a click of a mouse we can learn all about the current fad diets, or read about the newest surgical weight-loss procedure, or lose weight by using smaller plates, or view an advertisement for the latest low-fat snack, portioned for ‘convenience’ in 100-calorie packages. None of this...

Being or becoming healthy is a conscious, continuous process. We have to constantly be aware of what we’re putting into our bodies, how we’re using them, and if we’re getting enough rest. Everything from breakfast to bedtime is a health decision, and now that we have more access to information than ever, there really aren’t very many excuses left. Of course, there are considerable sacrifices when we...

Not to mention, it can take years of practice to understand what types of plants are best in each climate, when to plant them, if they should be grown from seeds, etc. Luckily, some fruit, veggie, and herb plants actually grow well under almost any circumstances. Some plants are amazingly hearty and will bear produce all year round...

You take care of your children, you take care of your spouse, your take care of your home. But are you taking care of yourself? Too often women put themselves last when it comes to their health, and perhaps that is why heart disease has surpassed cancer as the number one killer for women. Simple diet and lifestyle changes could prevent almost all cardiovascular disease. Do yourself and your loved ones...

I’ll be traveling to Houston in a few weeks, and that has started me thinking about the arrival of fall, Tex Mex cuisine and tailgating parties. To ward off the chill in the autumn air, the menu at almost every tailgating party features a pot of chili con carne: beans, beef and vegetables in a tomato-based sauce.

When It’s Hot, The Grilling is Easy - When the warm weather arrives, our meals often take us out of the kitchen and in front of a grill. But research has shown that turning up the heat may allow cancer-causing substances to form in our foods. Carcinogens form when meat is cooked at high temperatures, or over longer periods of time, or when meat juices drip and the flames hit the meat. Vegetables, mushrooms...

There is a major shift taking place right now that may have consequences even those of us who are condemning it may not fully appreciate, much less explain to others. Actually, this so-called "shift" has been in the making for decades but, because it is being implemented so slow and surreptitiously, many people aren't even aware of what is taking place. If they are aware, they either don't have the...
