Fast Day

Tomorrow is the beginning of the Gourmet Detox weekend that I mentioned last week. Personally, I’m going to begin with a one-day fast. Why? Here is an excerpt from Real-Life Detox:

It’s a bit like rebooting your system. When your computer starts acting weird or the apps aren’t working right on your phone, you know it’s time to reboot—turn it off and then turn it back on. Usually your phone or computer work normally after a . . .

On Tuesday, I called December a month of opportunity. You can choose to grab hold of a healthier lifestyle right now or ignore things until the New Year and waste this opportunity.

Once again the events in my life have led me to write this week’s messages. First, I watched a presentation on flavonoids and their role in health by two of the country’s leading experts. Why we don’t eat more vegetables, herbs, and fruits is beyond me. Maybe it’s because of what happened in a conversation I had with one of the aides who works with my father-in-law in assisted living.

The conversation started when she asked me what I do. When I told her my background in nutrition, she asked how I felt about . . .
