Something To Think About

Aging is a part of life and getting older can increase the risk of many age-related health problems.  We can grow old gracefully by taking care of our health, or we can neglect our health, become sick, and suffer from age-related health conditions. 

Back To School Basics

It’s that time of year again when parents are preparing to get their kids back to school.  For some parents it will be a much-anticipated time.  There is even a commercial on television singing, “it’s the most wonderful time of the year”.   I don’t know about that as I do not have any children, but I do know one thing.  Children need to have proper nutrition.

What Side Are You On?

Do you know disease can only survive in an acidic environment? Do you also know our body struggles to maintain a steady pH (acid-alkaline) balance of our body fluids?

Every second, minute, and hour of each and every day there is a struggle going on inside each and every one of us to keep things running smoothly, and the key to vibrant health and wellness is keeping our pH in balance.

You may be wondering what pH balance is. Well, pH is the abbreviation for ‘potential of hydrogen’ and is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale that ranges from 0 to 14. The lower the pH the more acidic the solution, and the higher the pH the more alkaline the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7, which is neutral. 

Tomatoes Are Nutritious And Delicious

It’s only the middle of July and some of our tomato plants are already over five feet tall and bearing fruit.  The tomatoes are not yet ready to eat, but by this time next week we may very well be enjoying fresh, organic tomatoes again right from our garden.

I refer to the tomato plants as ‘ours’ but I should really say they are my husband Wayne’s babies.  He spends much time with the ‘girls’ making sure they are comfortable and have just the right amount of fresh water to drink.  He gently puts stakes around them to keep them from falling and ties their delicate branches with special ties as not to hurt or damage them.  I think it is all the care he takes with his ‘girls’ is why we have such an abundant harvest of tomatoes every year.  And what an abundance it is!

More Peas Please

Delicious and Nutritious Peas

I just love fresh peas.  As a matter of fact, I would have to say fresh peas are my favorite food and I guarantee, they will never see a pot of boiling water.  Fresh peas are my choice of snack food all summer long.  As sweet and delicious as they are, did you know peas are a really good source of protein?

Protein is an essential nutrient vital for good health.  Our skin, hair, nails, muscles and brain cells are just some of our body parts that are protein based, and after water, protein is the most plentiful substance in our bodies.
