Common sense tips for generally improving your health...
Improving your health through nutrition can seem like a mine-field, but don't despair. Generally you can't go wrong if you do these things:
- Eliminate processed foods

- Switch to organic fruit, vegetables and animal products if possible.
- Eat what is local to your area and what is in season (very important)
- Eat only whole foods - nothing processed

Does peeling non-organic apples make them ok to eat?
Great question! The dilemma of eating non-organic apples or non-organic anything for that matter...

Apple… Continue

How I did 100% raw
I just responded to Nancy's blog post about eating more raw, but thought others may benefit from this also....
My current diet is not 100% raw, but I have been 100% raw in the past. I didn't dehydrate anything or make complex raw recipes, it's just not my nature to spend hours and hours in the kitchen unless I really have a Betty Crocker feeling come over me!
I generally blended for breakfast, made a huge salad for lunch and got creative for dinner (or if I couldn't be… Continue
