You Are What You Eat...

Over the years I've become something of an expert on the topic of holistic healing, and if there's one thing I've learned it's that total wellness doesn't start with the pills at the doctor's office. It starts with what you eat. Complete wellness has to be achieved from the inside out, which means you need to take a good look at what you're eating and how it's affecting your body.

I could sit here all day and talk about the benefits of good nutrition, but since neither one of us has time to do that I'm going to send you along to some of my favorite sites for information. Remember, it might take an extra ten or fifteen minutes to make a healthy meal at the end of the day...but isn't that ten or fifteen minutes worth it if it means you get to enjoy ten or fifteen more years when it's all said and done?
