Healthy Eating for Kids (and Parents)
This past week I read a wonderful article by Casey Seidenberg who got down to the basics of healthy eating for kids. With increasing rates of obesity, diabetes, and eating disorders, I found her suggestions both heartfelt and made common sense that can sometimes be forgotten in our day-to-day hectic lives: ~Food, especially unhealthful food, shouldn't be used as a reward. The common incentive used by parents "Eat your vegetables, so you can have dessert" clearly communicates to children that vegetables are to be avoided and desserts are to be desired.

28% of Americans Can't Cook!
I recently saw a headline that read "28% of Americans Can't Cook." At the same time that fewer people are cooking, more and more evidence finds cooking more of your meals at home is one of the best ways to improve your health. While many of the people surveyed in the study didn't cook because a spouse or partner did the cooking, 21% claimed they just didn't have time to cook. 66% cited going to the grocery store as more time-consuming than any other household task and a major reason to keep them from preparing meals at home.

9 Crazy Things Pesticides Are Doing to Your Body
Pesticides are designed to kill. Whether it's nerve gas–like neurological disruption, the unbalancing of key hormones, or the stunting of a plant's ability to absorb life-sustaining trace minerals from the soil, none of the chemical interventions seems all that appetizing, especially considering that chemical residues routinely wind up on and even inside of the food we eat everyday. Pesticides are also blamed for diminishing mineral levels in foods. Additionally, here are 9 crazy things pesticides are doing to your body:

Sage Advice: Be Your Own Health Advocate
Mixed Messages on Nutritional Supplements: The media seems to disseminate information at their whim and often it is unsubstantiated. Case in point with the recent headlines regarding whether nutritional supplements can be bad for you. However, we all need to wise to the ways of the media and big pharmaceutical companies that stand to profit billions by keeping us sick and in need of their medications. The best advice I ever received is “Be your own healthcare advocate and don’t take your doctor’s word as gospel.” Amen.

Niacin - the best "drug" for lowering cholesterol
Vitamin B3 (niacin) is the most effective substance, even better than statins, for both lowering LDL cholesterol, but importantly raising HDL. Niacin is usually given in doses of 1,000mg to 2,000mg, in a non-blushing or slow-release form since, in high doses, it causes vasodilation (blushing which can be diminished by taking with food).

Keys to Healthy (Mindful) Eating
Consider a Food’s Purpose. Before you eat something, ask What is this doing for me? For example, spinach has vitami A to help you with your vision while the good fats in salmon (Omega-3’s) protect against heart disease and reduce inflammation in our bodies. Food really does become part of your body.

How to get started
It seems to me that many people feel that they are not in control of their health, that somehow the health of their body is in the hands of someone else. The fact is we don’t become healthier by going to the doctor more often or by taking more medicine. We become healthy as a result of small choices that we make for ourselves and our families all day long – every day. The vision for the Naked Truth Nutritionist ~ Eat Well, Move Well, Be Well ~ is to provide guidance to enable people to make small changes that all add up to something huge: a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
