The Importance of Stretching
Last month I wrote about the many benefits of a 30-60 minute daily walk. It has helped me lose that extra weight gained from taking steroids (yuck) and lately I’ve been incorporated some of my favorite yoga stretches about halfway through my walk.

It can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion in your joints. Better flexibility may improve your performance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping your joints move…

Spaghetti Pie Recipe
Ahhhh, pasta! I love all things with pasta and cheese. So does my daughter. My son eats nuggets. And tenders. A few other items but basically he’s going to cluck one day *lol* From lasagna (roll-up’s too) to manicotti and all the in-betweens. I make an awesome baked spaghetti too – there is a difference between spaghetti, baked spaghetti and spaghetti pie. Making any of those with my daughter takes me back to the summer’s I spent up north with my Gramps. He was a great cook and I spent hours upon hours with him in the kitchen. Now I get the same joy teaching my daughter these recipes –…

Yummy Cinnamon Rolls Recipe
Ooey, gooey, yummy cinnamon rolls! They’re a favorite here in our house. Several years ago, I started teaching my kids to make them and before that having them help me. They love being in the kitchen and these are really easy to make – as the girl loves surprising me with them! Sometimes we change things up (for the filling) or will do a half and half alternative if we’re running low on milk or sugar. We’ve even used packaged (boxed) bread mix, only if they call for water we will use milk or half water and half milk. Hey, you do what you have to do when you want cinnamon…

PROBIOTICS: What Are They & Why Do We Need Them for Our Digestion We have bacteria in our gut. And a lot. (Trivia: There are approximately 500 bacterial species in the gut, specially, the colon.)

NOW Rises Up and Above their Competitors
When I came back to the states from living abroad in Japan many years ago, I was introduced to the Natural Products Industry due to some health issues I was having. The only person who had any real answers for me was a nutritionist I met while working for a Japanese Natural Products Company in Los Angeles. Through supplement and diet recommendations, he was able to help me when no one else had a game plan for me. Since then, I have been on a journey of learning as much about nutrition and health as I can. It is always changing and technology allows us to make breakthroughs all the…
