Relaxation and Exercise
relaxation
Summer is often a time for serious play, time off and deep relaxation. Many of us use the summertime to rebuild our reserves for the rest of the busy year. In our work-crazed society we can lose sight of the benefits of slowing down and taking time to rest. Now that summer is in full swing, it's time to enjoy the restorative powers of reconnecting to your body through movement and relaxation.
 
Food Focus: Lettuce, Not Just the Iceberg

 

If you love summer, you probably love big salads with beautiful lettuce. The one most familiar to you is the infamous iceberg lettuce found even at McDonald's. It doesn't exactly have the best of reputation considering its overuse by the junk food industry from fast food restaurants all the way to the School Lunch Program.

The romaine lettuce will satisfy your palate while the probiotics in the raw sauerkraut will help you rebuild the good bacterias in your gut.

Product of the month: Dark Chocolate Quinoa Midnight Crunch

_______________________________________________ 

Let me talk for a minute about chocolate.... chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, ok I am an addict. Can you blame me? Vegans love chocolate too, and they try to get the best chocolate possible. More often, we love our raw cacao, we love our Endangered Species dark chocolate, we love a raw chocolate bars. We love them all. 

 

As I was walking the isles of Whole Foods, I found The Dark Chocolate Quinoa Midnight Crunch and it is by far one of the best bars I have ever found.

It is crunchy, melts in the mouth just like I love it, an absolute delight. I just ate it in one evening. That was irresistible. So, although not the kind of thing you want to eat each day, once in while, treat yourself to this wonder. 

 

And just to make it even better, it Carbon conscious, Fair Trade and Organic. The Quinoa is a welcome, healthy, addition to the usual chocolate bar. I for one don't miss the genetically modified Hershey bar that sells everywhere. If you can't find it locally, check it out here: Alter Eco Fair Trade Organic Chocolate, 60% Dark Quinoa, 2.82 Ounce
