By Margaret Floyd – It’s 9:30 in the morning and I sit tucked in a corner of a diner, hoping no one recognizes me as I put back a giant plate of commercial eggs, nitrate-filled bacon, and a big cup of cheap coffee. I’ve come from doing a TV slot
By Lisa D Liguori – Yesterday morning I was inspired to bake something yummy & healthy for my kids. Something yummy that feeds their soul. Something healthy that feeds my need to raise them right. I went to Tropical Traditions.com and browsed throughout the recipe blog and came up with
By Erin Chamerlik— The American Heart Association says that the “bad” fats are saturated fats and trans fats, yet their recipes contain ingredients with trans fats. Their “Modern Tuna Casserole” has pasta, low-sodium crackers, and low-fat cream of chicken soup. Interesting that Campbell’s (one of AHA’s partners) happens to make
By Margaret Floyd – I love to clean house. My internal house that is. Especially after a summer of less than fabulous self-care, there’s nothing better than a nice, deep, detox. Let me rephrase: there’s nothing better than the END of a nice, deep, detox. The first part sucks, and
By Jackie Silver – Busy schedules affect the way we eat, but here are some statistics to “chew on.” Nearly four in 10 adults usually skip breakfast, what’s been called “the most important meal of the day.” More than half of the breakfasts eaten by Americans every day are consumed
By Sharon Hurley Hall – Good nutrition becomes even more important as we get older. Past the age of 50, our metabolism will no longer be kind when we eat poorly. Our bodies need more time to process nutrients in food, our calorie burning capacity is reduced and our skin,
By Shawna Hamilton – Do you remember at the beginning of the year when you re-evaluated your goals and either wrote them down or contemplated in your mind how you wanted 2011 to look and feel? I know that I sure did. Actually, I assess my goals on a monthly

By Lisa Morrone, PT. – If you are trying to win the “battle of the bulge” it’s likely that you have turned to diet soda as your beverage of choice. Bubbly and bursting with flavor, and no calories—who could ask for more than that?! Well, I am sorry to be the
By Sandi Thompson- As we come to the end of the summer there are still plenty of wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables of the season, which makes it a perfect opportunity for an end of the summer detox. It seems that lately I’ve been talking with a lot of women
By Maureen Wielansky – You are unique; no one else looks just like you or has your personality. Did you know that biologically you are unique as well? Certain foods affect us in different ways; even healthy foods can make our tummy flip flop. For example, when I eat more
By Erin Chamerlik, MT (ASCP) – For me, eating salads is not as much fun as eating a burger. As a nutrition educator I know I am supposed to be in love with this rabbit food but salads do not have the same appeal as a nice piece of fish

By Kimberley Jace – At a lunch for midlife women, the conversation is bound to turn to digestion. “I used to be able to eat anything!” someone will exclaim. “But now if I eat a spoonful of dairy, I’m up all night.” Why does it seem that, after age 50,
By Margeret Floyd – Today let’s talk about eggs. I love them. I eat them almost every day. In many ways they are among nature’s most perfect and complete foods. And yet, an egg is not always an egg. How naked is your morning breakfast? Well that depends on just
