10 super foods

Ring in the new year with a healthier eating habit. Huffington Post published 10 super foods healthier than kale.   I love kale but some of these others are delicious too.  Eat green in 2015!

Happy New Year!

Can you believe this?

Someone had posted this on Facebook and it shocked me. I can't believe how much sugar is in some of the beveridges we drink! Did you know this? Something needs to be done to reduce the sugar in everything we eat and drink for us, our children and our children's children.

Fight the flu

The flu season has started and it's not looking good. I came across this post in facebook and thought I should share it http://avivaromm.com/how-7-top-herbalists-and-doctors-fight-the-flu. This talks about ways to fight & prevent the flu using all natural remedies. If I get the flu this season I will be revisiting this list for sure!

Stay healthy!
