The Blue Zones are 5 areas in different parts of the world…there’s one here in our country in Loma Linda, California. In the Blue Zones, the people live to be easily more than one hundred years old. They are not warehoused either! They are active and engaged. Some of them still work. The author, Dan Buettner, has studied them extensively and has written several … Continue reading

Written by David Neimanis, this article gives a short chronicle of the author’s real introduction and embracing of canned fish as an integral part of his diet. Almost eight years go, I went … Continue reading

We no longer expect food to taste like real food. The processed food companies have schooled us to expect our food to taste like sugar, highly processed flour, salt and bad fat.

Make Healthy Eating Easier Make healthy eating easier. How? I love this idea. Have a “use me” section in your fridge and your freezer! Let’s back up a bit though.

Premeditated Eating Just as I love classic cars, I love classic TV. One of my favorites is Perry Mason. His job was, more often than not, to prove premeditated murder committed by one of the suspects. The planning and execution of the crime reminds me of how I eat and how I counsel my clients to plan their eating regimen…but in a good way… I call it “premeditated eating” and it truly is just that. I always make it my … Continue reading
