serves up its own 'Plate' The Healthy Eating Plate, a visual guide that provides a blueprint for eating a healthy meal, was unveiled today by nutrition experts at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) in conjunction with colleagues at Harvard Health Publications. Similar to the U.S. government’s MyPlate, the Healthy Eating Plate is simple and easy to understand — and it addresses important deficiencies in the MyPlate icon. “Unfortunately, like the earlier U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) pyramids, MyPlate mixes science with the influence of powerful agricultural interests, which is not the recipe for healthy eating,” said Walter Willett, professor of epidemiology and nutrition and chair of the Department of Nutrition at HSPH. Comparing the Harvard Healthy Eating Plate with the USDA’s MyPlate shows the shortcomings in the government’s guide. “Unfortunately, like the earlier U.S. The sections of the Healthy Eating Plate include: Vegetables: Eat an abundant variety, the more the better.
Make A Year's Worth of Laundry Soap for $30.00! Regular readers of this blog will know that I am completely sold on the No-Grate Laundry Detergent that I posted back in February of this year. But, like I’ve said many times on this website, I am always open to new ideas! And I really liked this idea that someone posted as a comment awhile back. A YEARS worth of Laundry Soap!?!? That’s an idea that is hard NOT to get behind! Here is the recipe that Anonymous posted (the text in red are my notes): Anonymous said… I make a dry version which works better for my family.

The Correlation Between Proper Nutrition and Longevity - The Underground Bootcamp - Healthy Living, Nutrition, Fitness Longevity & Nutrition Our longevity is directly linked to the quality of our nutrition. Nutrition affects not only the condition of our bodies, but also the well being of our minds. The foods we eat keep our bodies and minds working efficiently, provide us with energy and strengthen our immune systems. One of the first dietitians, William Banting, in the mid-19th century wrote , “among all maladies which concern the human race, I know none nor can I imagine anything worse than obesity”. According to Dutch medical specialists, “people who gain a significant amount of weight after the age of 35-40, shorten their lives by approximately seven years”.

There’s chocolate and then there’s Chocolate! Not all chocolate is created equal.

10 Healthy Ways to Help a Hangover - Health While it's not something I'm proud of, I've got plenty of hangovers under my belt. See, despite all of my healthy practices—yoga, deep breathing, clean cosmetics, brown rice and kale eating—I'm just not that great at saying no to that third or fourth drink once I get going. Bless those of you who are—and damn those of you who are immune to hangovers altogether! Apparently you exist, and you are lucky.
