One of my favorite resources is called Nutrition Action Health Letter. Many years ago an old boyfriend turned me onto it, and I’ve loved it every since. Why? Because if we don’t get empowered about our health and stand up for ourselves who will? I liken it to going to the doctor, not being happy with the answers you’re getting and pushing and prodding until you feel satisfied that your questions or concerns have really been addressed (or find another doctor). This publication helps you get to the heart of what’s really true and what’s not when it comes to health and nutrition.

This is a monthly publication that is published by Center for Science in the Public Interest. I love it because it provides important information about health and nutrition that’s unbiased - that’s hard to find these days. It’s enlightening and informative at the same time and has sections like Food Porn – which is the truth about what’s contained in many of the products we buy and eat. There are also healthy recipes that I love and information about a range of health topics that are relevant to most of us. I also really love that the Center for Science in the Public Interest is about more than just the newsletter. They advocate on behalf of the public and urge us to be advocates too – healthier food in the schools, nutrition information on restaurant menus and a whole lot more.

I really encourage you to take a look and be inspired to action. The quality of the food we eat and what we choose to put into our bodies generally isn’t that good. What are you going to do about it? What are you already doing? I invite you to share your thoughts.
