We are what we eat and what we eat affects how we feel and how we behave. Some foods can impact our physical and mental state much more dramatically than others. Sugar is one of those foods, and it’s an unfortunate part of many health issues in mind and body because it has become such a pervasive ingredient in the typical diet. The more you understand sugar and how to avoid it, the easier it is to break free of mainstream habits and live a healthy life.

I was interviewed by Christine at the The Fabulous Times a UK based lifestyle blog focused on celebrating the fabulous in everyday life.  

Chef, Gardener and Herbalist Karina Hines is dedicated to exploring the powerful benefits of plants, teaching us how we can use food as medicine and how to cook with confidence and eat to thrive. I’m very excited to share the Botanical Kitchen with you and to offer a glimpse at Karina’s inspiration, natural food philosophies and plans for the future…

I absolutely LOVE this article from Modern Farmer blog written by Michelle Rabin.    

It is wonderful food for thought in different ways: one is how health food trends can really explode and become very powerful marketing driven selling tools and the other is, where is this food coming from and is there an alternative to consider?   Click link here. 

A great kick off to the new year my very first article about food, inflammation and auto-immune disease in AromaCulture Magazine a beautiful and wise online publication about all things herbalism and aromatherapy.
