Growing Your Own Fresh Produce Just Got Easier

This guest article is written by Tom Corson-Knowles, founder of Authentic Health Coaching. Tom blogs regularly about whole food nutrition, vertical gardening, and other health topics. I love eating raw foods and fresh produce. The problem is it can be hard to get! And it can be expensive. Growing your own fresh produce is an awesome way to save money and get higher quality, fresher produce that is organic and vine-ripened. The only problem is, over 70% of people live in cities. So how do you grow your own food in a city? Or if you don’t have enough land or space for a garden? Well, for those of you who can’t grow a typical garden, now you can grow a vertical garden! Vertical Gardening Many people credit Patrick Blanc as the inventor of vertical gardening, but the truth is that vertical gardens have been around at least since the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in 600 B.C. It’s...   Read More →

After seeing John Robbins speak LIVE at the LongevityNOW Conference in 2010, I am interested in hearing all that he has to say. His presentation was so genuine, heart-felt, and profound that I, and much of the conference room, was tearing up at the powerful stories he shared. WOW. I was deeply moved with how open he was and the sincere message he brings forth. I’m even more of a fan now than I was when I initially read his books, Diet for...   Read More →

Homemade Raw Superfood Granola

Homemade raw superfood granola For those that love a nice crunchy texture bursting with multiple flavors, you’ll adore this homemade granola recipe. Granola used to be one of my favorite snack foods when I ate more processed, packaged organic foods and wasn’t as clean with my food choices. This is a very flexible recipe that can be adapted based upon what ingredients you currently have in your conscious kitchen and I advise making more than you expect you’ll want to since it’s a pretty addictive healthy snack for your entire family. The Raw Superfood Granola makes a wonderful travel food and is ideal for people who are super busy with crazy schedules (or many kids) who typically grab whatever is easy when they’re out grabbing a bite to eat on their lunch break. The base of the recipe is buckwheat, nuts and seeds of choice, raw honey, and organic superfood and/or...   Read More →

Postponing Your Health is a Death Sentence

How do you respond when you read the title of this article? Based on what you have experienced with loved ones or acquaintances in your blessed life, have you found it to be true? I do realize it’s a bold statement and I know it’s 100% true in my own experience having seen this brutal reality. I wish it wasn’t true… Why is postponing your health a death sentence? Because procrastination tends to set in if you take too long to think things over and consider all the possibilities, options, and what’s involved. If you keep putting things off, when will you ever start? Unconsciously, self-sabotaging behavior slowly creeps in (deep subject as to why, but it does happen). Then, guilt settles in because you know you should have done something sooner. Before you know it, it’s months or years later and you’re in the same position or even worse off because...   Read More →
