Fruits and vegetables, especially dark, leafy green veggies, are chock full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote optimal health and keep ailments at bay.

Salads are known for being nutritious, but that doesn't mean they have to be boring! Long gone are the days when health-conscious individuals dined on plain lettuce topped with dressings that weren’t even healthy to begin with. I enjoy so many delightful salads for lunch and dinner, incredible varieties that offer a culinary experience comparable to more complicated artistic entrees. Raw salads are Edible Works [...]

Then in the Spring of 2008 [...]

Detoxification is so important it's something that our bodies do on a daily basis. It is that vital for our survival. But not too many people realize how important it is for health and healing. The health dictum “out of the old, in with the new” cannot be possible without a well-planned detox. Try to do at least a couple of detoxes a year. The [...]
