FDA decides its time to enforce the new Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009
According to takepart.com, in an article posted in their food section, an entire year passed by before the FDA decided it was time to enforce the 2009 FSMA. This was most likely due to the traffic of political gain conce s. So while they were all trying to make sure certain politicians were in office and certain ones were not there were foods that were being recalled one right after the other in 2012 due to safety standards that were not enforceable. Now with two new rules, the FDA is changing the way we process, grow and handle our food and even what we allow imported into the US food wise.

The causes of stress and what to do about it part 1
Stress in itself simply does not exist, well not in the form of an actual thing. For those of us that live with everyday stress, we would scarf at that remark but it is actually very true, stress just does not exist alone it has to be conjured or created by you. This means it is all about how you are living and how you are thinking about life and how you see life’s issues.

The causes of stress and what to do about it part 2
When it comes to stress the standard American diet (SAD) plays a major role in how well the body adapts to those stressful moments and how quickly it can recover from them. The 300 cans of soda, 50 pounds of cakes and cookies and 20 gallons of ice cream the average American consumes, greatly contributes to mood swings and systemic imbalances.

The causes of stress and what to do about it part 3
Some people might be ready to make some changes in their lives as we are now on part 3 of this series. One quick change that can be done immediately is to replace what you are drinking with one or more of these very healthy and vitamin rich beverages: Fresh juice (not juice bought from the store loaded with sugar and other stuff, which is very bad) but get a juicer! They cost less than 50 bucks for a decent one and then you just cut the fruit or veggies up and feed them into the machine, the juice comes out in a cup, and you’re done. It takes about 10 minutes.

Another thing to know about eating on the trail is that you will need to carry enough food for up to five days and at the same time carry as little weight as possible. On the trail, the two heaviest items will be your water and your food and consequently, these are the two areas that you cannot cut down too much. But there are ways to cut down the weight and I will share them with you here now.

Natural versus organic foods the raw truth
On first look of the title, natural versus organic you might say, well organic and natural mean the same thing. But you would be very wrong because organic and natural do not mean the same thing and by far. In fact, it is a common misconception that organic means the same as natural and vice versa. But do not feel bad if you have always thought that the two words meant the same thing. Most consumers that are new to the organic and natural health world think the same way.

There is no match for a campfire made trail meal in the mind of any hiker. Except for maybe the occasional pizza! Ah the memories of coming off the trail for a day or two in places like trail towns Helen, Georgia, and Erwin, Tennessee to enjoy a hot pizza.
