Food Sensitivity Elimination – Because You’re Worth It
The difference in my life since eliminating wheat has been stunning. I don’t ache every day. I have more energy, less congestion and I don’t wake up puffy and horrid. That’s a big deal to me. If you only ever take one suggestion, take this one: test yourself for food sensitivities. There is no reason to suffer with all of the junk that is “normal” to you. Continue reading

Calcium can be helpful, but a new study conducted at Upsalla University in Sweden and published in the British Medical Journal, shows that too much can be harmful. Continue reading
Another Reason to Love Coffee – It’s Your Prostate
I have to say, I’m a devoted coffee drinker. Even if they found out it would lead to death in a month I’d have a hard time giving it up. Thankfully, the evidence supporting coffee’s benefits on health is pretty good and just got a little better thanks to the Health-Professionals Follow-Up Study. Continue reading

An apple a day really does keep the doctor away – and the cholesterol, related heart disease and extra weight too! Clearly, apples are a miracle food. A new study from Florida State University confirms that women who ate an apple a day showed dramatic improvements in their heart risk. Continue reading
Emotional Eating
Wow is this ever a big deal! So many people use food as a reward, as a treat, or as a way to calm themselves when they’re anxious, depressed or angry. It’s easy to do because a lot of the time it works – food does help you feel better in the moment when you’re emotions are getting the best of you. It also hurts you in the long-run because then you have to struggle with weight, self-image issues and body issues. This is a no-win cycle, but there are ways out. Continue reading

As with everything else, it seems the best course of action lies in moderation. Dr. McCarron’s view on the problem was that restricting salt intake can be as harmful as overdoing salt intake, so maintaining a “normal” intake is best. In this, I have to admit, I agree! Continue reading
Fast Weight Loss vs. Slow
This time of year I see lots of people struggling to fulfill their new years resolutions, especially those concerning weight loss. One of the big questions that everyone seems to have is what is the difference between the quick weight loss plans and the long-term weight loss plans?? Of course everyone wants something fast and easy, but the truth of the matter is that those are only really good if you’re losing weight for an event that is coming up, but don’t care what happens to your weight after that.
