Want to Live Longer? Here's What You Need!

Live Longer AND Live Well Longer - There is a misconception out there that our health has improved because we are living longer. If you look at the statistics for Canada in 1970 the average lifespan was almost 73 years and as of 2019, that number has risen to 80 years for males and 84 years for females. But the question must be asked, are we living WELL longer?

Thirsty? Why not try a Switchel?

What is Switchel? - Some people refer to this drink as the original sports drink. Others have had it passed down from generation to generation as a staple in their homes. But I’m betting the majority of us North Americans have never heard of this delicious treat. It’s sweet, it’s sour and there are many claims from generations back that Switchel has benefits beyond simple hydration.

Practical Nutrition

There is so much nutrition data out there. We are bombarded with good, bad, and ugly every single day. There are reports that certain foods are good for us, then the next day that same food will cause cancer. There are “fad” diets for weight loss and “protocols” and “treatments” for certain ailments. But at the end of the day what is right? What do we believe, who do we believe and where do we turn to for the information that will be most helpful? More importantly, what are we supposed to eat?

A Thanksgiving Tribute

What should I eat?

As I sit here and write this blog, I am reflecting on all that I have to be thankful for. Today is Canada’s Thanksgiving. A day we spend with family and friends and give thanks for all that we have, all the opportunity, all our possessions, and all our blessings. Along with all, we have let’s give thanks for our food. Most days we take food for granted. It just seems to show up in the grocery store for us to purchase. Have you ever given thought to how incredible it is that we can walk into a grocery store at any time of the year, almost any time of the day and find fresh produce? Baked bread? A cornucopia of deliciousness?
