Wild ideas sometimes turn into reality. That's what for my friend. Monica was 64, and I wanted to hike the Grand Canyon for her 65th birthday. This would be her second out-and-back hike into the canyon — the first time was in her 30s with her husband. She started casting the vision, and one by one, three women said yes. Since none of them had ever backpacked before, they decided that a hike down to the base of the canyon and back would be challenging, but just right for our g

Did you know that HOW you chew your food can completely change your digestion? The amount of chewing you do before swallowing determines how much work the rest of your digestive system has to do. Rushing through meals and swallowing barely-chewed food forces your stomach and intestines to compensate — often leading to bloating, gas, and discomfort that people mistakenly blame on the foods themselves.

Here are some of the best tips we discovered: Meal plan – look at your weekly schedule and plan what you will eat, write it on a calendar, make a grocery list and choose a ti

It’s a fair question. Our ancestors weren’t taking probiotics, omega capsules, and drinking protein shakes, yet many of them were incredibly resilient. They lived closer to the land, ate simply and relied on food, not supplements, for nourishment. So why, in a modern world overflowing with all kinds of food, has supplementation become so common? Truth be told, our ancestors weren't necessarily always perfectly nourished and as healthy as we may like to believe, but it is also

When we eat plants, we give our body access to those also amazing beneficial com
