an apple a day...

...keeps the doctor away! Right, isn't that what we've been taught? What is in an apple that makes them so special to keep the doctors away? [We will explore this later.] Is nutrition and what we eat really all that important, or is it another marketing hype in our culture? We know, given the choice, a piece of fruit would be the better option over a Twinkies, but what other things should we be taking into consideration?

Americans are some of the unhealthiest and most depressed people on the planet. Studies over many, many years have shown the direct correlation between nutrition and disease prevention; along with that comes a happier people.

There are many factors that contribute to our health, nutrition and exercise being the two we hear more frequently. My hope and desire is to educate you, encourage you, help open your eyes to things you did not know you didn't know, and walk you along a journey of better health and peace knowing you are being a good steward with the life and body (God's temple) He's given you by living a healthier lifestyle... one step at a time. Be encouraged friends, better health is yours - as long as you want it. May the lives we live and the legacies we leave be those of good stewardship, encouragement, and honoring the One whom gives us life each day.
