Partnership with Ease into Green

My dear friend's, Kori and Dan Bowers, proposed that I be a contributor to their site Ease into Green and I couldn't resist. With their vision to show others how going green can be simple and easy, I jumped on board to help contribute myself. With my passion, expertise and experience being in wellness, most specifically within holistic nutrition and Yoga, it is a good fit for many interesting possiblities. My first objective: exploring the link of sustainability and nutritional health and to show others how to easily create personal and environmental health simutaenously.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution we ate what was available to us, seasonal local organic whole foods, majority of foods were grown, rasied and harvested within the community and even personally. A shift occured after industrialization and by the mid 1900’s we bought majority of our food from a local grocer rather than directly from the farmer or growing it ourselves.
At that time people still didn’t concern themselves, at least not to the extend we do today, with what they were eating or buying, they simply bought and prepared the majority of their food from the local grocer and bought what was on sale. This is about the time when packaged food made it into our daily lives, although we still had a much higher percentage of wholesome local and seasonal foods in our diet. Somewhere along the way, since these times, we lost connection with what we should be eating. We obsess about what, how much, when, how, and where to eat, causing us to tire and give in to whatever convenient food is available. Only driving up sales and contributing to more and more processed and packaged foods. Making the most available foods processed and packaged goods, rather than fresh local food.

With a little help you can start to drive simple and easy changes that will incorporate healthier choices into your diet and also sustain our environment. My personal mission is to provide convenient and relevant tips that will help to make choices that are healthier for you, for your family, for the community and for the world. Choices that empower you to actually make a difference in your health by nourishing your body-mind-spirit and making a difference in the world by contributing to a greener way of living.

Namaste,
