    Reasons to Try a Plant-Based Diet for Christmas

    November 10, 2020

    After we get our fill of Christmas treats and family dinners, we start thinking about our health and making New Year’s resolutions. Why are you waiting till  January to take up a health challenge? Indeed, that does seem to be the best month to try out your Veganuary, or start my 12-week Eating Smarter and Getting Healthy plan, but why not start for Christmas? Do you have a friend or someone in the family who is already vegan or vegetarian? Could veganism be a lifestyle you might appreciate?

    Growing or Buying Lettuce and Leafy Greens

    October 22, 2020

    Most of us do not eat as many vegetables as experts recommend, especially lettuce or leafy greens. But they are so important because they provide healthy fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other substances, many of which prevent disease. In my neck of the woods, (zone 8, maybe 7), it is time to plant leafy greens for a late fall, early winter harvest. Considering the prices and all the recent health recalls for leafy greens, I am looking forward to eating some specimens grown in my own backyard. Growing leafy greens It is not difficult to grow your own fresh, leafy greens if you pay attention to timing. These delicate vegetables do…

    12 Steps to Eating Smarter & Feeling Healthy

    September 25, 2020

Heck, that is the main reason I started this blog nearly 5 years ago. My recent lab work after my routine physical check-up emphasized a few areas of improvement for me… despite my high HDL cholesterol, I still need to lower my LDL. I am at risk for prediabetes. I need to lose some weight. I believe some of you share these issues too, whether you know it or not. Therefore, I want to share my doctor’s advice she…

    Spinach Health Benefits and Easy to Grow

    September 11, 2020

    Spinach has incredible health benefits and it is very easy to grow. Several of my followers diagnosed with COVID-19 told me, doctors prescribed a regimen of vitamins C, D, and Zinc to combat their “mild-cases.” So this week I decided to write about a vegetable full of vitamins C, D, and zinc – SPINACH! Origin Spinach is a member of the beet family domesticated in central Asia. In the late Middle Ages, the Arabs brought it to Europe. Spaniards grew it as early as the eighth-century and eventually brought it to the United States. Known to be rich in the aforementioned nutrients, some consider it the most important leaf vegetable…
