Stay on the wellness path with summer schedules that are still full of fun.
Eat for Life
Eating Right Living Right
Embracing better health for better living
Our bodies, as the word body suggests, were designed to embody health so that we can embrace life.
Quick fix diets are just an exhausting series of deprivation followed by cravings-run-amok and then the old crash and burn, which leads to punitive measures.
When we feed ourselves nutrient-rich foods we are exercising our intention to heal ourselves and realize the presence of health and harmony that already lives in our bodies. Food is a gift and an opportunity. When our appetites live in harmony with deliciousness, food becomes a healing act.
One of the biggest challenges to staying the course of wellness is eating food that we didn’t prepare. Stay on the wellness path this summer while keeping your schedule full of fun with menus that are no-fuss yet nourishing, like these simple summer salads.
