Welcome

Who says we have to suffer...to live a healthy happy vibrant life?

Red wine and dark chocolate... might seem decadent...but these guilty pleasures also might help us live longer...and healthier lives. Red wine and dark chocolate definitely improve an evening..but they also contain resveratrol..which lowers blood sugar. Red wine is a great source of catechins..which boost protective HDL cholesterol. Green tea? Protects your brain..helps you live longer..and soothes your spirit.

Food for Thought, the blog, is about living the good life...a life we create with our thoughts and our choices...and having fun the whole while!

I say lets make the thoughts good ones..and let the choices be healthy...exciting...and delicious! Bon Appetit!

Plastic Free Friday!


Shout out to all veterans today and all of America! 



Consider making this a #PlasticFreeFriday! Go plastic-free for 24 hours! Buy or drink no sodas from plastic bottles, receive no plastic shopping bags, take no plastic containers from takeout, use no plastic flatware. 


Fill your beverage bottles at home to take with you, keep reusable shopping bags in your car. Use glass containers, reusable plates and flatware for food. Why? 17 MILLION gallons of oil is used EVERY day in the USA -- just to make plastic water bottles. Then we throw out 88,000 tons of plastic, every day. And here's what's scary: 93% of us retain the plastic chemical, BPA, in our bodies. BPA and other endocrine disrupters are challenging the health of our families by depressing vitamin D levels among other harmful effects.
We can do better! Perhaps plastic free everyday is a heavy lift...but if we can do it for 24 hours we can move in that direction.
