"Where Home and Lifestyle Meet"
I applaud anyone who voluntarily restricts their eating, for an extended period of time, to lose weight — more power to you! The thought of following a food-deprived routine just isn’t appealing to me — I have tried, and failed. Weight-loss diets aren’t easy to follow. You first have to get your mind right to […]
MoreEating healthy at work is challenging, since we’re always pressed for time. With little time, you may opt for a trip to the nearest fast food place. And, though, you may choose to buy the healthier items on the menu, they’re not as healthy as you might think. Many are still loaded with high levels […]
MoreI wish that it wasn’t so complicated trying to make sense of all the health and nutrition information we receive on a daily basis. As consumers, we’re told that a healthy way of eating is best, certain types of foods are bad, and exercising is a must. Then, we’re left to figure out this information […]
MoreWhen it comes to buying food for myself and my family, I’m extremely conscientious and take great care to buy the best foods I can afford. I scrutinize food labels and buy the freshest produce. I know that organic produce is better, but it isn’t always economically feasible. Therefore, I buy local produce that’s in […]
MoreWhen I decided to adopt a vegetarian diet 30-plus years ago, I embraced it completely and never looked back — no more steaks, ribs, or burgers. But, this path to vegetarianism worked for me — you may not be ready to commit entirely to a meatless diet. But, that’s ok. You have to decide what […]

What has helped our love to endure is that we not only vowed to: “…have and hold, in sickness and in health,” but we committed to helping each other stay healthy. […]
MoreThere’s a reason NY is called “The City that Never Sleeps.” I just returned from a long-overdue trip to visit my daughter. Since my daughter moved to NY nearly three years ago, I’ve always wanted to go visit. So, I decided to take the journey alone — no husband, no kids. I must admit that […]
MoreWhen the weather is cool and a chill is in the air, nothing warms the body and the stomach like a hearty, bowl of soup. Although, soup isn’t generally considered a menu choice, for Sunday dinner, the many varieties can make it a star-attraction on many family tables. I’ve found that a nice bowl of […]
MoreImagine living in an area, without access to healthy, fresh foods. For many, in the United States, this is a daily reality. They live in areas defined as “food deserts,” which lack quality supermarkets or farmers markets, where residents can buy fresh foods. Not being able to buy affordable healthy foods is bad enough, but […]
MoreToday, there is a wealth of information and resources to help us lead healthy lives. With so much information, it can seem overwhelming when trying to decide on the best healthy approach. Yet, many of us get so overwhelmed that the information causes “no-action” paralysis — we have so much information that we can’t decide […]
