Go Outside of Your Comfort Zone!

Posted: 02/01/2012

Even if you have a physical challenge or condition that limits you in some way, most of us also create false boundaries for ourselves — “no-can-do’s” that are only in our heads.

Busting Cholesterol Myths – A New Look at Cholesterol

Posted: 11/01/2011

If you are an adult in the United States, you’ve been hearing about the negative effects of cholesterol on our health for several years.  When scientists initially learned how to measure and study cholesterol and its relation to heart disease, they warned everyone to stay away from high cholesterol foods like eggs, shrimp, lobster, beef and butter.  After a few more years and extensive research, the medical community started backing off of high-cholesterol foods a little bit and started focusing on saturated and hydrogenated fats, or “bad fats.”  New studies are actually starting to reverse the initial claims that cholesterol is bad, and instead are claiming that higher levels of cholesterol can have a positive impact on our health.  Perhaps the cause of heart disease and the reason for plaque buildup in our arteries is not related to our cholesterol levels and is instead caused by something else entirely.

Then, as I learned more about the real suffering that was going on in the overcrowded factory farms, I chose to not think about it as I purchased my chicken and beef in those neat cellophane packages. Well, another decade has gone by, and more research has been done on the impacts of factory farming (sometimes referred to as CAFO's-concentrated animal feeding operations). Not only are we harming helpless animals in our quest for good meat, we are harming our own health by eating meat from these farms.
