Baked Kale Chips – Ingredients And Directions On How To Make The Chips Author: Heather Nauta Baked kale chips (whether made in a dehydrator or oven) are a great snack to make that get some healthy kale into you and also give you a much better option than potato chips.

How To Get Started With Raw Food When You Haven’t Got A Clue! Author: Karen Knowler If you’re new to raw foods you may have noticed that even though there are now hundreds, if not thousands of raw food web sites on the internet, what seems to be lacking is real basic nuts-and-bolts info about how to get going from a standing start. Only too often do books and web sites jump in at step 2 or 3 (food or equipment) before setting the context in which raw food needs to be placed, or explaining how to get going when

Why Refined Sugar is Poison For Your Body – Worst Sugars That Will Eventually Cause Cancer Author: TomTess Despite having been labeled as “empty calories”, sugars are truly important compounds from the perspective of the human body. Humans have retained the ability to synthesize all forms of carbohydrates the body needs from simple sugars. This is not the case with the other dietary macronutrients, fats, and proteins.

How Vegetables can Help Balance Your Body’s pH Level Author: Alyssa Waltze Today’s fast paced, modern lifestyle makes us miss out on our daily healthy servings of fruits and vegetables. When nutritionists tell us to take at least five servings of these hearty orange, red and greens everyday, we just don’t have the time to do it.

Raw Foods – A Lifestyle, NOT a Diet Author: Jodi Burke The word ‘diet’ has received a negative reputation. People who say that they are on a diet seem to imply that they are restricting themselves, in one way or another. The word unfortunately has, even come to become synonymous with starving one’s self. That is why I do not like to attach DIET to raw foods because it is not a diet, instead it is a lifestyle. The first three letters in DIET is die, just think about that for a second. When people hear it they immediately think

What Can You Get from Onions? Author: Paula Jimenez Grocery shopping is one of the favourite past times of domesticated folks just like me.

Self-Discipline Is An Antidote For Poor Productivity Author: Elaine Bailey “Self-discipline is the magic power that makes you virtually unstoppable.” ~Dan Kennedy, Business Success Guru and Author Okay, I have to admit that most of us are easily distracted.
