Do you have an idea of the name of the grain pictured above? What if I told you that it is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids? This is flaxseed. And, the same can be said about tofu, snapper and other foods.


Our discussion today focuses on the invaluable contribution made by Omega-3 fatty acids to our body. Are you getting enough? At the end of it all, maybe you will look at your grocery list a little differently!

Health Naturally ~ PART I: Water - rejuvenate you!

Many of us rush through our days at work without eating a well-balanced breakfast or lunch. We snack in between meals on whatever is available. What is also very sad, is that so many of us pay little attention to the pang inside urging us to take a sip of water. How many of you have a routine similar to this? Unfortunately, we do our bodies a disservice when we consume precious little or at times, no water during our busy days at work or at school. 

In Part I of this series, we are hoping to shed some light on why water is important to the proper functioning of the body. It is easy on the pocket - for one thing - therefore making it easy to bottle and go. Ultimately, we hope we can show how not taking sufficient water can lead to poorly looking hair and skin; and, a poorly functioning body.
