The sun is shining and it's warm enough to go out walking almost every day (for me and little one).

Classes are picking up again at the studio and people are getting more motivated to exercise and eat better - YAY!

It's also Earth month, of course every month should be Earth month! Here is a great day by day way to 'go green' from Whole Foods Market http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/earthmonth/30ways30days.pdf

As many of you may know I am studying for my Bachelor's degree in Holistic Nutrition and since I began have come accross a sea of valuable resources that I am just so excited to share. Please keep checking the Face Book page and this blog for helpful and useful tips about your health and wellness and longevity. Stay well all-and get outside, it's gorgous!

Salads?!

You may be surprised to find out that being vegan or even vegetarian doesn't mean eating a lot of salads. I never eat salads. Well not the kind most people think of anyway. First of all there's close to zero nutritional value in iceberg lettuce so can that..My salads are colorful and flavorful and full of the earths yummies. Also I will have a salad for dinner if anything usually because I don't need much for the evening. I save my higher calories for during the day when I need them.

Lets see what I did I have on it today, it was all organic of course..spinach, red peper, carrots, blue berries, shreded almonds, flax seed, sprouts, tomato oh and don't forget your protein..I added a nice veggie burger on top and broke it up into tiny pieces. A nice sesame dressing and gobbled it right up.YUM!

Yeah so it's about time I started a blog

Guess I just felt ready to do it. Gotta get those random thoughts out right? I should mention I don't care about spelling at this point, I have minutes at a time to type and everything on here will be MY opinion only. I'm NOT 'normal' or like many others and there's nothing wrong with that :) I chose the title One Body for many reasons but it can mean whatever you want it to, use your own imagination. I always liked writing and I'm glad to venture into it again. So take what you want and leave the rest!

It's as easy as making toast!

why do people spend money they don't have to? For instance croutons..we actually pay $ for toast with loads of salt..gross! I'm sure you already have a nice healthy bread in the house, just toast up once slice, then cut it into very small pieces or crush and rip with your hands and presto croutons! As for the flavor just drizzle dressing of your choice, you can easily make your own by the way and save on packaging. There you go!
