My Mom recently shared an article with me about the benefits of napping. I’m not a napper but there are days when I wish I was able to curl up on the couch for a nap. I know others who can take in a 20 minute power nap during the course of their day and […]

Sugar and Heart Disease
This post is as much a “REFRESHER” for me as it is an informative bit of information for my readers. During Covid-19 I have been leaning into more sugary treats. I’m not alone when I confess this. Sugar is a “comfort” food that is easy to love and get hooked on. It’s basically a drug. […]
A Food Refresher! What not to eat…
I don’t know about you but during this “COVID-19” time I’ve kind of let my guard down a bit in the “nutrition” end of things. I’m being very careful in all of the other ways to avoid Covid but we’ve been a little free spirited with our diets. I believe this is because we are […]
Is it ignorance or fear?
Why are there people out there who don’t seem to care one little bit about COVID-19? They seem to be oblivious to the fact that our world, the entire world is in the middle of a very serious “pandemic”. It angers me when I watch some Canadian news stories, but mostly I see it in […]
Covid Vaccine
Will you allow your doctor to stick this “quick to market” Covid vaccine in your arm? I’m not quite sure I will. I feel that I will have to wait it out to see how it stacks up in the millions of people who will line up and allow it to be injected into their […]
Coping
We are definitely living in a time of “high anxiety” and “uncertainty” both in economics and health. Never before, in my lifetime, and I’m just shy of 60, have I ever had to think twice before heading out the door to do even the simplest of chores. We go through a checklist when we head […]
Food and Covid
I just read a very informative article by my health guru, Dr. Mercola, regarding how foods can influence your risk of dying from Covid. The big food highlighted in this article is “fermented food”. Things like Kim Chi which is fermented vegetables, sauerkraut, Yogurt, kefir, miso, tempeh, kombucha are what is considered fermented foods. Apparently […]
Black Licorice
Do you remember back to the days of “Twizzlers” licorice sticks? I sure do. It was a memorable sweet treat we would chew on and share with our friends. Back when I was a youngster I remember my parents bringing me a “goodie box” to camp and it usually had a package of licorice in […]
Bone Health
This topic is not something I paid too much attention to over the years. I just assumed that because I was eating healthy I was looking after my bone health. Did I get a big surprise. Not being able to walk and put too much weight load on my bones over the past 12 years […]
Curcumin – Turmeric
Turmeric is the spice that gives curry its yellow colour. It is a spice that has been used in India for hundreds of years. It contains compounds with medicinal properties. These compounds are called curcuminoids and the best of those is “curcumin”. I have posted about turmeric before but I think it is worth repeating. […]
