Scientifically established reasons for exercising appear in the press at strikingly frequent rates. The benefits of exercise have been well founded now for decades and even centuries. Here’s something I read today in the New York Times that further reveals how beneficial taking care of your body is. AGING WELL THROUGH EXERCISE A brief personal [...]

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/19/do-we-have-a-set-point-for-exercise/ It seems obvious that one of the conclusions that can be made by such research, a conclusion that doesn’t require too much science, is that one must always discipline himself when initiating exercise programs. The body will take time to adjust to its new activity levels and unless pushed, in a healthy way, will [...]

Sefi and Mark, super duo from Lawrence restaurant, being interested in sustainable and healthy farming practices, had the great idea of going to Kinderhook farm on our way to NY. The 1000 acre farm, which lies in the Hudson valley, is an admirable alternative to what large corporate farming has come to look like today. [...]

So day fourteen was rather uneventful in terms of the food we ate, although, in the end, the event was that we treat ourselves to a dinner of grilled meets from a local middle eastern restaurant. I did not have my camera with me and won’t have any pictures to share, but I’ll quickly go [...]

I was a little out of it yesterday. On Saturday night(last night as well) our upstairs neighbors came home after 3am from a night of drinking and partied until 5 so I didn’t sleep very well, which made me unproductive to say the least. For breakfast I had a bowl of puffed grain cereal with [...]

Another quick one, as yesterday was a work day and didn’t involve much experimentation. For breakfast, for the second day in a row I had oatmeal, which I this time served with strawberries, peaches, toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds and cinnamon. I also finished off the beet, red cabbage, apple, rhubarb and walnut salad from the [...]
Food detox day 10

Keeping it simple… I was working on a portrait/documentary yesterday and was away from the house, so it was a day of defrosted leftovers and quick fixes. For breakfast we went with one of the basics; something we ate consistently during our last detoxes but omitted this time. We shouldn’t have; it’s easy, quick, filling [...]

A quicky; I have a busy day ahead of me. Breakfast was a mix of leftovers and eggs. I had a piece of the millet pie, some guacamole, steamed asparagus and two eggs fried in olive oil. Eggs aren’t ideal on the detox, but they’ll do when you need some quick protein. For lunch Carolina [...]
Food detox day 8

Moving along. Day 8 is certainly the easiest day for someone who doesn’t eat that well to follow. There’s a meat dish for dinner, the veggie and delicious chili from day 5 for lunch, and a breakfast of a special pâté chinois dish with a side of grated beets and steamed radish leaves. What’s a [...]
