Way back in September of 2009, we began our F.R.E.S.H. approach to health and wellness.  To recap: Fresh whole foods -- fruit, vegetables (including greens), whole grains and nuts Rest -- the most rejuvenating sleep is before midnight Exercise -- get your body moving 30 minutes a day Sunshine -- at least 15 minutes a day (with no sunscreen) Hydration -- 8 to 10 glasses of purified or

So you've heard you're supposed to exercise at least 30 minutes a day three times per week but you just can't seem to find the time to squeeze that into your busy schedule. Here's something to ponder:  We all have been given the same number of hours in a day to accomplish this or that.  The difference between those who achieve much and those who acccomplish little lies in the choices they make.

1. Stop putting poisons into the body. (White flour, white sugar, soft drinks, over-the-counter medications, fried foods, etc.) 2. It takes 5 -7 times as much nutrition to build and repair as it does to maintain. 3. Nothing in the human body heals in less than 3 months; add one month for every year that you have been sick. 4. Have moderation in all things. 5. Make peace with nature

In our simple FRESH approach to living healthy and well, let us consider the letter 'R'. 'R' stands for REST -- that sometimes elusive "activity" that we all need for optimum health and well-being.  I, for one, have not always rested in a manner that would bring me the most benefits.  I am much like my father who was the proverbial 'night owl".  This can be a curse when your schedule requires

     As we take a FRESH look at regaining our health, we want to begin with the letter F.  F stands for "fresh" whole foods.  75 - 80% of our daily diet needs to consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains.  If you are used to eating the SAD way -- Standard American Diet -- then you are probably consuming fresh food only once every week  -- or two.  That is sad, isn't it?

As I promised, today I want to share my Top Five Tips For Regaining Your Health.  How have I decided that these were the most important five?  Well, after reading numerous books and articles, having listened to wise people who have studied far more than myself and after experiencing issues of my own as well as observed others' habits and health problems, I have concluded that we need a FRESH

Wow!  I always feel better after I do that!  Not to be crude or disgusting but I'm referring to bowel movements -- something that all human beings have.  Unfortunately, many of us are running around with "clogged pipes" i.e. constipation.  If I'm feeling slightly headache-y or naseaus, I can sometimes point to the fact that I most likely need to "go"!  Once I do, it's amazing how I instantly

Are you overflowing with yummy, colorful vegetables from your garden? Trying to come up with new and interesting ways to serve them? Well, try my Variation on a Theme from the Whole Foods for the Whole Family Cookbook. I took their recipe for Zucchini Pizza and put my twist on it -- what delicious flavor!I placed chunks of the following into a skillet: tomatoes, zucchini, red onion and green

I messed up -- again; I haven't had my greens yet today and it is nearly noon! So, as soon as I finish this blog, it's BarleyLife for me! I need the energy boost it gives me as well as all the live enzymes and nutritional content. If you're like me, you've read, heard and know you are supposed to eat plenty of greens but you have difficulty consuming as much as you think you need -- and some of
