I’m guessing you’re familiar with the old saying, “eat, drink and be merry.” I think we need a 21st century update along the lines of “eat (slowly), drink (water), and be (more) merry.” Perhaps the easiest thing one can do to lose or maintain weight is to slow down your pace of eating. It’s really…
The good news is that “macros” does not refer to macroeconomics…unless you’re into that, then it’s bad news, but who’s into macroeconomics…honestly. “Macros” in this instance refers to macronutrients, or the things you eat and in this case the things you eat are broken into three major categories: fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It seems that…
It’s an inevitable, immutable fact about the holidays…it’s impossible to eat healthy, even if you make that valiant attempt. Home, office, shop, school, store, the homes of family and friends, barn, coal mine, submarine; no matter where you go, unhealthy snacks and food abounds. And no matter how you try, their siren song of “It’s…
(The above title, folks, is as poetic as I get. I apologize for beginning with a parenthetic reference, but I thought you might like to know, or not). Food and our moods are inexorably linked. We know, for example, that when we’re feeling stressed or depressed (Hey, more rhyming) we tend to eat unhealthy, high…
If you’re following any kind of specialized diet, the holidays present a unique set of challenges above and beyond those presented in your every-day, non-holiday life. For those of you who follow a gluten-free diet, for health or other reasons, the holidays, with their routine-breaking tendencies, can create a new set of diet related issues….
Let me come clean here, I’m having a heck of a time wrapping my mind around the existence of telomeres and their role in our health and the anti-aging process. I just read a medical study on telomeres and how they can be used as health-related barometers of sorts and my head hurt in a…
Along the same lines as the title of this post are: “How to sing like Adele,” How to make love like you were 20 again,” and “How to have more free time and be your own boss.” I jest, of course. Obviously, you can only achieve one of the above “how to” possibilities. The question…
We all have those favorite memories of carefree childhood summers and those memories usually include a body of water, a young summer romance (like Danny and Sandy from Grease) and our favorite summer foods. Since this blog is associated with a food delivery service, we’ll avoid discussing summers at the beach or lakeside cabin sharing…
Since these ideas are “unique,” they go above and beyond typical ideas that deal with blankets, food and baskets…well, one idea is basket related…but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. Anyway, since I’m a big fan of the outdoors, picnics scratch me right where I itch. However, I’m not a big fan of…
Subtitle: and get a wee bit tipsy, but not falling-down drunk. And we all know the difference between the two, now don’t we? These are cocktails that refresh AND have the ability to slightly inebriate. Not to worry all you teetotalers and minors out there, I’ve included a few non-alcoholic selections just for you. So,…
