    7 Reasons to Grow your Own Organic Veggies!

    #thewellnessequation #nutrition #healthyliving #wholefoodsmom #growyourownfood #organic #vegetables During the last decades there has been a change towards mechanization and homogenization of farming, which uses pesticides, additives, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers and mass-production techniques. All this is clearly affecting mankind's health, and new diseases are spreading rapidly amongst humans and animals. The World Health Organization produces reports to show how the u

    Benefits of Avocados

    #thewellnessequation #nutrition #nutritionist #benefitsofavocado #powerfoods The first time I had an avocado was about 15 years ago. I never had them growing up, and I didn't get exposed to them until I was in my twenties. My friend gave me a piece at lunch one day and I thought they were absolutely disgusting. The first thought that went through my head was that these taste like a facial clay mask (not that I knew what a facial clay mask tasted like - it just reminded me of

There is too much refined sugar in our day to day lives, and although it tastes wonderful it is not good for you. It causes a lot of inflammation in the body, and suppresses the immune system.

She was cute, and always tried to protect me from "the stove." At the age of 12 I was already
