Vitamins, like herbal formulas, are most beneficial when taken under the guidance of a health professional.

During the hot summer months, foods with a cooling nature will help to keep your system from over-heating and prevent dehydration. Two particularly wonderful foods for this are cucumbers and watermelon, which (despite their very different flavor palate) are actually from the same family of melon plant species. Both supply a refreshingly high water content [...]

It is by far the most-talked about vitamin this year – with growing research proving that a Vitamin D deficiency can cause not only calcium deficiency (which can lead to osteoporosis), but other serious illnesses and hormone imbalances. So why all the fuss now? A study done in 2007 found a whopping 50% of women [...]

Life is an incredible journey, with plenty of ups and downs and in-betweens to navigate along the way. Sometimes it is easy to forget that at the end of the day, all of our emotions, our thoughts, our nutrition, our interactions with others, our work, the amount of sleep we get (or don’t get) -all [...]

I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July! Like most holidays – food, alcohol and dessert often laden the picnic table (I know they sure did at my Minnesotan family-reunion festivities).

Ah – Honey, Honey. You are my Candy Girl – and you’ve got me wanting you. Addictive just like the girl in the Archies song, sugar can have a strong hold over many a sweet-tooth. It is a hot topic in the health world and even entering political legislature. We all know to avoid sugary [...]

Coffee is a highly controversial substance among the health community, but I will be the first to admit the pleasurable taste (and effects) of a nice warm cup of joe.
