Summer is here and the first thing many of us associate with this season is "vacation" - a time to slow down, de-stress, rest, and relax. Well, it's also the perfect time to detox our bodies too.

One of the best ways to stay healthy is to cook your own meals. However, while eating away from home may seem challenging, it doesn't have to sabotage your healthy diet. Dr. Mercola says, "If you fail to plan, then you plan to fail", so think ahead when you are going to be eating out and make a plan.

Roast chicken is a classic dish all over the world. A classic roasted chicken, one of the great staples of cooking and a symbol of comfort and perfect simplicity, makes a delicious and healthy dinner that never goes out of style. It's super easy and super tasty, fills your house with the most wonderful aroma while it's cooking, is elegant enough for Sunday dinner, and easy enough for any other night of the week. Plus the leftovers can be used for sandwiches, salads, and quick meals all week long.

I love to hike, capture photographs of nature “the way God made it”, AND I love to eat healthy food! Combine them all together and I call it a “self-care adventure”. I hope that everyone who reads this page feels inspired to create their own nature adventure days. ENJOY!

Walking has been my main "go-to" exercise for as long as I can remember. Being a Type A personality, I think it began when a doctor told me to "exercise to relax" - something to invoke the relaxation response rather than the "fight or flight" response in the body. I have found that exercising in the morning is one of the best things we can do to start the day and it also leads to making healthier decisions all day long.

Eating healthy, balanced meals are a must if you want to manage your health, maximize your energy, and maybe lose some weight too. 

It's known that in all dis-ease, the human body is always acidic. An acidic pH can result from an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and immune reactions, or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. To assist in the curing of any dis-ease, the higher the ratio of alkaline elements in the diet, the faster will be the recovery. Alkalis neutralize acids. Therefore, in the treatment of most dis-eases, it is most important that the diet includes plenty of alkaline foods to offset the effect of acid-forming foods.

Over the years, I have seen many diet models come and go. However, the Eating for Health system has stood the test of time and continues to be relevant today - no matter whether you’re omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan.
