And it got me thinking about food’s impact on my own life. Being a Russian Jewish American (I immigrated to America with my family when I was seven), the foods that cross my family’s table are eclectic. When we go out to eat, we love Italian, Greek, German, and Thai cuisine. I love sampling new foods and will try anything once. On a side note, I truly believe that I could eat pasta every day and be very happy. But this isn’t a post about my favorite foods (though that would be yummy!). It is a short story about food, family and how having a healthy relationship with food helped a once sh...

Maybe for you, it will be a day filled with firsts. The first time you sought therapy. The first step you took towards healing yourself. The first time you realized how far you’ve come and how much you have achieved towards your goals and your mental health. If so, I hope you will celebrate these firsts and remember them when times get tough. Because ever year brings with it a new challenge, an obstacle we didn’t foresee and with it an opportunity for self-growth and a chance for a better more balanced life. When that opportunity comes, will you take it? For me, I’ve finally come home. The holidays are over. And instead of being surrounded by the voices of my family members, I’m here sitting back at my home in silence. This Christmas was as chaotic...

His book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma (2006), spelled out why the almost eight billion humans on this planet had better balance what we eat – for our own health and the health of the planet. He published a small book in 2009 (Penguin Books) called Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual. His rules are around seven words in three brief statements: “Eat Food, Not Too Much, Mostly Plants.” How simple and wise is that? These three statements make up the three parts of this small book, with lots of practical “rules.” (more…) *This blog post was originally published at eDocAmerica* (Source: Better Health) Better Health blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3592212 Sun, 23 May 2010 14:00:00 +0100 3592212 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2065271&cid=t_425871_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthbolt.net%2F2008%2F12%2F23%2Fhealthbolt-giveaway-win-a-family-pass-for-four-to-a-souplantation-sweet-tomatoes-restaurant%2F It’s not easy eating healthy during the holiday season. Let’s face it. You spend extra time in the kitchen cooking. You spend extra time sitting around the dinner table catching up with friends and family. And then, of course,  visiting friends and family usually involves constant snacking and eating as well. It’s all good but by the new year, most of us are sick of the sight of food and definitely had enough of spending time in the kitchen. Which makes this latest Healthbolt giveaway a real winner. It’s a family pass for four to one of the 111 Souplantation and Sweet Tomatoes Restaurants located in 15 States across the country. These salad-buffet style restaurants offer fresh produce and salads, made-from-scratch soups, hot-tossed pastas, freshly baked breads and muffins, fre...
