Today’s Healthy Dose – Synthetic Cellulose
Naturally occurring cellulose, the kind you get from broccoli or celery, is a heart healthy soluble fiber. The cellulose found in items like pre-packaged shredded cheese and salad dressings is synthesized from wood pulp. Yum. And heart healthy? Not so much.
Today’s Healthy Dose – One:Two
Every 1 hour you walk increases your life expectancy by 2 hours. Not a bad gig!
Today’s Healthy Dose – Healthy Bees, Healthy Food
Honey bees are responsible for 80% of all pollination, and they ensure we get to enjoy some of our most nutritious foods. But they are just as afraid of us, as we are of them, so don’t swat, give them something to do instead. Long season or year round flowering plants that are native to your region will keep them hard at work and healthy too.
Time to plant some flowers?

A tip that is both potentially helpful and disturbing.

Then they’re injected with a yummy salt and preservative cocktail to “boost” flavor during processing.
Remember the saying you are what you eat? When it comes to chicken, buy organic.
Today’s Healthy Dose – Point Your Toes
