Juicing

-
The best diet comes from the things that are most commonly passed by: fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables contain all of the calories, vitamins, and nutrients that the body needs to survive.  The key is how you take them in.  When cooking or steaming vegetables, most, if not all, of the nutrients are lost in the process.  Fruit and vegetable juices available at the store contain added sugars, flavoring, and refined ingredients to cause more harm than benefit. The answer is juicing.  Why juice and not just eat them?  Chances are, you WON'T eat them!  And if you do, you will probably get real full real fast or real tired of it immediately.  Juicing adds convenience and variety to your day, not to mention color.  The nutrients will detoxify your body, the calories will create energy, and the cost will make you smile.  There are no set recipes, you add what you see fit, mix and match, and expose yourself to things you haven't before....

Pre-workout nutrition

2nd Annual Walk for TM

-
If you know me well, then you know my advocacy for personal health and well being.  I owe a lot of this to a rare neurological disorder that blindsided my mother in 2004.  She was left paralyzed from waist down on her left side that day; bedridden at first, reliant on a wheelchair for quite some time, and now more mobile with assistive devices.  She has come a long way from that day but the phenomenon known as Transverse Myelitis still lingers. TM is described as a  a neurological disorder caused by an inflammatory process of the spinal cord. It comes on suddenly, affecting people of all ages and walks of life. While many are able to walk after being affected by this disorder, there are many who cannot.  My mother became involved with a small group of people in New Jersey last year that all share the same questions and concerns surrounding this mystery.  On April 13th, 2013, there will be a walk at Cooper River to promote fundraising for more research and...
