Beat the After-School Hunger
Your kids hit the front door after school and what is the first thing out of their mouths? “I’m starving!” And it’s said with enough enthusiasm that you would think they hadn’t eaten all day. They want food and they want it fast. As tempting as it might be to shove a cookie in their direction, it’s much better if we plan on having some healthier afternoon snacks ready for our little students. Even our older students will benefit from healthier snacks. I have kids that range from elementary to college age at home and what’s good for one is good for the other.
Since kids come home so hungry, this is a goo...

The Healthful Vegan Diet
‘Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.’ ~Hippocrates
By Leo Babauta
Eat plants. Those two words are the best things I’ve learned about diet, and if you stick to that, you’re likely be pretty healthy.
That said, eating a vegan diet (no animal products) doesn’t necessarily equate to a healthy diet, despite what many believe.
Yes, vegans on average are healthier and leaner than the average person. But that’s an average — there are unhealthy vegans.
How is that possible? You can eat lots of sweets, fried foods, processed foods, foods with white flour (br...

The only thing a cleanse truly cleans is your wallet
From time to time I get asked about cleanses. What is typically meant by a “cleanse” is only drinking a juice concoction for several days. Some cleanses add things like cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, or other supposedly “healthy” substances.
The most common reasons to “cleanse” that I hear from people who drink these things include:
Lose weight
Feel better
Remove “toxins”

A Reminder of Why Diets Don't Work
Although many disregulated eaters
know that diets don’t work long-term, when they get frustrated that “normal”
eating isn’t producing the weight loss they desire, they consider—and sometimes
return to—dieting. So for those of you teeter-tottering on the brink, here’s
more proof that restricting calories will hurt, not help, you.
In “Why crash diets call for some
caution” (Sarasota Herald-Tribune,
3/26/14) Gabriella Boston gives prime time to several experts on the subject. Nutritionist
Rebecca Mohning advises that “If you go on, say a 900-calorie-a-day diet, you
will have a hard time gettin...

It's been a good-news, bad-news kind of almost-month.The good news is that we're very busy at Sunnydale (Healthcare for the Hellmouth). The bad news is that we're so short-staffed in every department except the one that does, like, colonoscopies and stuff that I've had five-patient days lately. As in, start with two, discharge those, get three.The good news is that The Boy is moving down here in a couple of weeks, and that he has a fabulous new job that will keep me in beer to the point that I'll need to have my own floating scooter to get around the house.

Are Plastic Products Safe? Educational Webinar Reviews The Science
Concerns about plastic safety have been growing over the years, and the media has stepped up its efforts to expose potential dangers associated with plastic compounds such as bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. The problem is – there is very little scientific evidence linking plastic to human harm, and no credible evidence that our current typical exposures to BPA poses any health risks at all (so say the health agencies of the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Japan). But that’s not a very exciting story, is it?
Instead, what we often hear in the news is that microwaving our plastic containers or dr...
