This morning as I put myself as the priority and start my day with this contemplation on self-love, there’s an old song by one of my favorite country bands Alabama and the lyrics seem to be ringing true for me today: I’m in a hurry to get things done Oh I rush and rush until life’s no fun All I

Sugar is getting a bum wrap. Sugar not evil. Sugar is a viable source of energy, but when not used immediately it turns to fat. The key is to find a healthy balance between how much sugar you intake on a daily basis and how much you burn in the form of movement and exercise. The challenge is that the

a great common-sense article from nutritionist, Jonny Bowden. Tattoo this under your eyelids: Sugar turns to fat.
