DECLINE IN FOOD VALUE...

90% of the food bought today is processed!!  YIKES!  That's ALOT of processed FOOD!!

The QUALITY of the rest of the food has declined.  40-50% of the nutritional value in fruits and vegetables have declined.  That's why it is now necessary to eat 9-13 servings of fruits and vegetables PER DAY!!!

Conclusion: Grow and harvest your own food!!  I LOVE our garden and am anxious for my seed catalogs to start coming so I can plan my '11 garden with new fruits and veggies!!!  JOIN ME ~ even if you use container gardening!

BOOST YOUR BRAINPOWER

Another reason to put on your walking shoes: New research from the University of Pittsburgh suggests that walking at least 6 miles each week may prevent brain shrinkage and, in turn, preserve memory.  Brain scans of 299 participants showed that those who walked about 6-9 miles per week had more gray matter (less can indicate memory problems) and cut their risk of developing cognitive issues in half.  "Though we're not sure why, exercise increases the growth and survival rate of neurons, "says author Kirk Erickson, PhD.    (Woman's Day January '11 page 20)

WOW!  That's awesome.  That's just a little over a mile per day!  Very doable!!  And the other benefits ~  great exercise, loose that fat, and feel better.  What a great idea. 

CHALLENGE: Start walking at least 1 mile every day.
