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.

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
