Healthy Food Recipe: Eating Healthy Does Taste Good!

My favorite healthy foods are made with soy beans but you would never know it…

By far one of my first and foremost choices of a quick healthy meal is a Veggie burger product made by Morningstar Farms, available in most frozen food sections of your grocery store…they make many varieties, one is a Black Bean another, made with Basil but my favorite is called the Grillers Original, which is the same one we used to serve in our Health food restaurant and a favorite of many of our customers as well..

The package consists of 4 burgers, two in each cellaphane wrapper to keep them freshly frozen until you use them…

It is so easy to prepare a burger with no mess or fuss, you don’t even have to thaw it…just put one patty between two pieces of bread…personally I like to use Pita bread..I put the burger …

Trick Your Children into Eating Healthy Foods and Exercising

There are tons of fad diets, weight loss plans and support groups for adults who want to shed a few pounds. But what about overweight and obese children? Where does Junior turn when his weight is keeping him from enjoying everyday childhood activities? This article will explore ways to keep your children in optimal shape and in good health — without them knowing it.

Make subtle dietary changes

Suddenly announcing that there will be no more cupcakes, candy and fried foods will certainly go over like a lead balloon in your home. Try making subtle changes like switching to low-sugar syrup, or reduced fat cupcakes at first. Instead of sugary fruit juices and soft drinks, try substituting with flavored water or sugar-free drink mixes. (Think Crystal Light). This is a delicate balancing act that brings us to our next point:

Teens and Personal Freedom: How Much is Healthy?

When children reach their teen years, it becomes their parents' responsibility to know when to let go and when to pull in the reins. Adolescence is typically a time for exploration, for testing boundaries and experimenting with self-expression. Some freedom is necessary, then, if kids of this age are to learn anything about themselves. Too much free rein, however, can set them adrift in a world that they aren't yet equipped to deal with.

Total freedom can, ironically, translate to lack of caring in their minds. If we as parents don't care when they come home or who they're spending time with, can our children help but wonder whether we're concerned about their welfare at all? They may question every ground rule that we lay down, and fight us every step of the way, but that doesn't mean that they actually hope we'll always give in. Oftentimes, their resistance is …

Eating Healthy Foods on a Budget

We are now living in a new age, our old habit of eating poor food is dying fast. We need to examine new approaches to become more positive, healthy and if we can have it be more economical so be it. First thing you need to do with any type of food budget is to establish the amount you will be using. Always start with a plan or list but be sure that you are open to any special offers or deals.

The easy way to plan your budget is to start with a menu and a shopping list. You need to have this list in hand with you if you go to the store. This means keeping your car or in your briefcase or purse so if you are in the store that may have some items you possibly need on sale you have your list handy to double-check …

Consider a Food Co-op for Healthy Eating for Less

The cost of fruits and vegetables seems to increase with each warning that we in America don’t eat enough of them. Going to the grocery store can be a headache when you start adding up the prices and have to pick barely enough to make it through a week – do you choose the healthy fruits and vegetables you know your family should eat more of, or foods that keep you full longer?

One alternative to giving up on the fresh foods is to participate in a co-op; you join together with lots of other people (being poor is not a requirement, no one asks anything about your finances), pool your money, and buy in bulk yourselves. There’s a co-op called Bountiful Baskets that operates in Arizona, Idaho, Utah, and Washington to get really good deals – $15 gets you a laundry basket full of a variety of fruits and …

The World Needs a Nap: How Societal and Personal Health Can Benefit From Extra Sleep

Today’s society is so fast paced that people hardly slow down long enough to breathe let alone sleep. Many people get up before the sun rises and are working until late in the night. This is not good for the body and it is not good for the world.

Sleepiness can cause a lot of problems. It is the cause of many car accidents. Tiredness also often makes people cranky and short tempered. This in turn causes many arguments and fights. Being cranky due to lack of sleep can often cause people to make bad decisions that they would not make if they were well rested and therefore not in a bad mood.

It could be that the world needs a nap. If everyone on the entire Earth just took a nap it might make the world a happy place. Everyone would at the very least feel a little better. …

Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred Workout DVD: Results After 20 Days

I have been working out with Jillian Michaels using the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred Workout system for 20 days now. You can view my original article where I review the basic 30 Day Shred DVD here and you can see my results after working out with the system for 10 days here.

During days 11-20, I alternated between the level 1 workout and the level 2 workout. The level 2 workout of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is a huge jump in intensity and difficulty from level 1. I was completely surprised, however, how quickly my body adapted to the level 1 workout. While completing level 1 of Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is still difficult, it has become remarkably easier. So I decided to alternate between levels 1 and 2. So far, level 2 still really kicks my butt every time! My legs and arms feel like jell-o …

While doing a coop at a local employer, for credit at the state university, it was my job to use the heat chamber. I opened the door one time and got a toxic gas exposure that affects the brain and the ability to think, cyanide something and a few other chemicals. It was from foam someone else added when I was not there. I was the walking wounded with no exterior wounds just chemicals in the brain and body slowly they taking affect.

Poisoned while doing a coop, my boss sends me to the universities clinic, which says your ok, go back to work, but have hard time concentrating. Coworkers and family I see and tell don’t know to help. I see another doctor at church who says, “if you are not dead yet you should survive, take this for your diarrhea.” The fire firer at church says, “we wear …
