As summer comes to a close and children head back to school, we settle back into our routines. That is, until Halloween hits, Halloween starts the sugar heavy holidays of the fall/winter season. Establishing healthy habits right now can keep your body healthy through the fall and winter seasons. I recommend my patients do a cleanse twice year.
When did you last think about the quality of your food and how things make it to the supermarket shelf? This brilliant parody gets you thinking again.
While this summer has recorded the hottest temperatures around the globe, here in the Bay Area, we are experiencing the coolest summer in many years. To quench our thirst we remember to drink water on hot days, but on the cooler days we often forget to hydrate our body. Whether it is hot or cold outside, your body still requires water to function. Up to 60% of the human body is water and it is essential to life.
Fresh peaches are abundant at the farmers market during the summer. A few weeks ago, I got together with a few friends and we picked fresh peaches at a farm in Brentwood. The East County has abundant fruit farms with fresh picked produce, as well as u-pick farms where you can pick fruits and vegetables. When we got home the obvious question was, what do we do with our freshly picked peaches? While we watched a few comedy videos, we made a fresh peach cobbler and ate it with ice cream.
Today as I was leaving for work, my aloe plant caught my eye. I couldn’t remember the last time I had watered it. For such a low maintenance plant, it has a lot of healing properties. Aloe plants don’t require a lot of water and should be planted in a pot or restricted area, because it does spread and will take over any given area. Here are some easy ways to use aloe.
