ANOTHER high profile Vegan

Anyone who has committed to a healthier, more conscientious, way of life has probably encountered people who believe that swearing off of animal products will make them weak and sickly.  (As opposed to “body building” chips, cupcakes and cheesy products?? )

Here’s one more article about someone whose livelihood depends of physical strength and endurance.  Read about Houston running back Arian Foster:  http://www.khou.com/sports/Texans-Foster-opens-up-on-national-TV-168620216.html

 

Marilu has been ahead of the curve FOR YEARS !  It’s wonderful to see that healthy lifestyles are becoming more pervasive.

Summer’s Last Hurrah

This weekend is Labor Day,  Summer’s Last Hurrah !    We can’t resist offering our two cents to help you make this a happy, healthy, and SAFE holiday.

Make plans to MOVE.  With a long weekend you can find time for a walk, a hike, kayaking, tennis, bocce.  Anything that gets you out of your seat and moving.  The movies will be there all winter.
Stay hydrated.  Yes it’s a good day to enjoy a drink with friends but it’s also a good chance to use the two to one rule.  For every drink containing alcohol have two glasses of water.  Your skin will thank you, your waistline will thank you.
Lighten Up !  Lighten up your menu, (you don’t need as much food as you think) and lighten up on yourself.  Don’t wait until your home looks perfect to have people over.  Impromptu is fun and a relaxed host just might be the most important ingredient for a good time.
Check in here and let us know what you did to celebrate this weekend.

PCRM, Dairy, and the School Lunch Program

The Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine is petitioning the federal government to stop requiring milk in the National School Lunch Program.  Below is a portion of an interview explaining the reasons behind this petition.

 

“Milk doesn’t make children grow taller and stronger, but it can make them heavier,” says PCRM nutrition education director Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. “We are asking Congress and the USDA to put children’s interests above the interests of the dairy industry. Focusing on milk as the single most important source of calcium in children’s diets distracts schools and parents from foods that can actually build bones, like beans and leafy greens.”

After you’ve learned the facts join the discussion.   Back-To-School means it’s time to talk about nutrition.  Learn how other parents are addressing this important issue at Marilu.com
