Health, Wellness & Nutrition

ou are certainly already aware of the nutritional benefits of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Fruits and vegetables that you grow yourself are free from pesticides or other chemicals, and retain much more flavor and nutritional benefit than those bought in the supermarket because they go straight from your garden onto your dinner plate. Fresh herbs from your own garden also not only taste better than the dried, store-bought variety, but also retain their health benefits. In addition, eating healthier also improves your mood.

Most of us have a pretty similar bathing or showering routine. That routine seems to be effective at removing dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. Your skin feels and looks healthy, glowing and, most importantly, clean after your bath or shower, right? But, one of the newest spa trends can actually not only help you get your skin even cleaner after your shower or bath, but can also improve your health and well-being.

When trying to eat a healthier diet, it’s common for people to lump foods into categories that they deem either “good” or “bad.”That makes it easier to decide what to eat without having to dissect each food individually, ultimately saving time and effort. One such category of foods that has presented itself in recent years is superfoods. Items in this category are generally described as foods that are rich in such compounds as antioxidants, fiber, or fatty acids, and considered beneficial to a person’s health.
