    Aging and What You Eat – Sugar

    Aging and What You Eat – Sugar Aging and what you eat…does it matter? We all would like to look and feel younger.  So many of us think it’s the luck of the draw.  Does your gene pool dictate that you will age more quickly than others?  Is your rate of aging out of your control?  The short answer is you have a lot of control over how you age, and that is very empowering!  Today we’ll look at the effect sugar has on aging and will touch on 3 main points to consider…your weight, your body’s acid or alkaline environment and how sugar affects your body’s level of inflammation.…

    Get Started Today… Feel and Be Healthier!

    My name is Cheryl Major, and I teach people just like you how to improve their health and well-being by changing how they eat. My own personal story is a by-accident victory over depression, and along the way, I lost 20 pounds without dieting. It began when my husband had been experiencing terrible side effects from the statins he had been on for years. We decided to change how we ate in an effort to lower his LDL cholesterol, raise his HDL cholesterol and lower his blood glucose levels. About six months after we changed our diet, we noticed that I wasn’t depressed anymore. I had struggled with depression and…

    Another New Fad Diet – What is the Military Diet

    Another New Fad Diet – What is the Military Diet? I was reading an article about a new fad diet called “The Military Diet”.  I’m not sure why it’s called that as it has nothing to do with the military or anything to do with how they encourage military members to eat.  It’s probably just a name designed to catch your attention as it did mine. I was curious what a “military diet” would look like and read about it, so from a marketing perspective, it works.  That’s where it stops working though as it is a very odd approach to weight loss, and from my perspective and based on…

    How to Make Quick Breakfast Frittata

    Quick Breakfast Frittata I decided to share with you how I make a delicious, easy, quick breakfast frittata without having to start from scratch.  This happened because one of my coaching clients told me I need to share more of myself with all of you; that is, more of what I eat to be healthy.  What kind of meals helped me lose the weight and the chronic depression that plagued me for years is what she wanted to know.  She also wanted to see how I make the meals. It’s hard for me to say “no” to my coaching clients and even harder to say “no” to this particular one,…
