I just don’t like it.
Luckily, I can get all those same vitamins and minerals from eating a wide variety of fruit and veggies that I do like! Who’d a thought?

Today’s Healthy Dose – Buddy Up!
Studies show that those who have partners who are active are 85% more likely to be active too. I’d suggest getting your partner exercising, then see if it rubs off 😉
Today’s Healthy Dose – Double Whammy
Most processed foods will get you coming and going. Coming, they offer virtually no nutrition to support healthy cell function. Going, they assault the body with damaging toxins. No matter how you look at it, they’re really a lose-lose.
Today’s Healthy Dose – A.K.A. Sugar
Did you know that there are over sixty covert aliases for processed sugary invaders on our food labels? Sixty!
But we have the power to look past ingredient deception to the the carbohydrate section of the label where it says “sugar”. Be very wary of anything over 10 grams….
(or better yet, only eat foods that don’t come with a label)
Today’s Healthy Dose – LOL
FYI…Laughing Out Loud reduces your cortisol levels and improves your bone density. TTFN…
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?
Today’s Healthy Dose – Doritos as Fuel
You heard me. But I didn’t mean as fuel for a healthy body, I meant actual fuel. Apparently, in a pinch, you could light a fire or start a bar-b-que with Doritos (or any other product ending in ito – Cheetos, Fritos, etc.)
A tip that is both potentially helpful and disturbing.
Today’s Healthy Dose – Sunscreen…Hero or Villain?
The per capita rate of skin cancer has increased by over 1800 % since the first commercial sunscreen was introduced, and melanoma rates continue to increase as the sales of sunscreen go up.
Fodder for thought…
