    What is the Mediterranean Diet?

    February 14, 2021

    Aren’t you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Let’s face it, we ARE what we eat! Eating fast food, junk, and processed foods, causes us to feel sluggish, unmotivated, and guilty.

    Health Benefits and Health Hazards of Fish

    February 13, 2020

    As healthy eaters, we acknowledge fish health benefits, but buying and cooking fish can be disconcerting because of the health hazards surrounding fish. Fish is the largest single source of wild food in the human diet as well as the product of a rapidly growing branch of farming. Fish are a source of important nutrients such as protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Types of Fish All fish are broken down into two very broad categories – FISH and SHELLFISH. Basically, FISH are equipped with fins, backbones, and gills, whereas, SHELLFISH have shells of one form or another. Fish without shells are separated into two groups, freshwater and saltwater fish.

    Staying Motivated in a Healthy Lifestyle

    February 6, 2020

    Staying motivated when transiting to a healthy lifestyle is totally within your control. As previously posted, creating healthy habits and strategic goals must be established first. Did you create any “healthy goals?” Remember, it is the small steps every day that can make lasting changes to your life. Staying Motivated It is very difficult to stay motivated.  I admit I took a week off from wearing my FitBit and monitoring my step count. But no excuses!  I am responsible and I am back on track this week! If you slip up or get off course, NEVER beat yourself up over it! If you need a little extra nudge or support…

    Food and Health Adjustments for Middle-Aged Adults

    October 31, 2019

    Yes, this year I turned the big 50 and no – my body does not act like it used to. As our years begin to add up, maintaining a healthy weight is more difficult – believe me I know! I can remember being 140 lbs on my wedding day – that was 20 years ago – and boy, I am nowhere near that now. Unhealthy habits, having a sedentary job, and metabolic changes (which are beyond our control) can contribute to weight gain after 50. However, recently, I discussed some adjustments with my family doctor, which I want to share with you, that can help us get back in better…

    A Simple Healthy Dinner with Salmon and Potatoes

    June 27, 2019

    Let’s face it, I am not a fan of salmon alone, but pair it with potatoes, along with the health benefits, I will incorporate it in my dinner menu somehow. My memories of salmon are distorted. I remember my mother frying up salmon patties using canned salmon because it was cheap! My husband is not going to eat canned seafood, other than tuna. I wanted a salmon recipe that would be simple to prepare, delicious, and incredibly easy to clean up – Read on!  I hit a home run! Health Benefits of Salmon Salmon is naturally loaded in Omega-3 fats.                  Don’t worry…
