The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

Why You Won’t See Your Vegetarian Friend at the Next Summer Barbecue

Mounds of hotdogs. Grills chock full of steaks and burgers. Platters filled with chicken. Legs. Drumsticks. Breasts. Gizzards. Intestines and Feet too?
Backyard BBQs to Vegetarians is like what summer is to polar bears. It’s just a place that they don’t want to ever be at. Why would a person who has specifically eliminated meat from their diet want to attend any event where consumption of meat is the entire point of the event? Vegans and vegetarians usually choose to go meat and dairy free for various reasons. For some it may have been awareness of the animal cruelty that goes on in the meat and dairy industries. For others, the reason might have been knowledge of the dangers of consumption of animal products. For some it’s the taste and for others it could be the smell that’s intolerable. The fact is that there are different reasons why vegans become vegans and vegetarians become vegetarians.







It shouldn’t be a surprise if your vegan friend or family member is not at your next dinner. You should actually see it as a blessing that they didn’t attend because the bold ones may take the opportunity to school you about why you shouldn’t be eating that bbq chicken leg. Also, since the choices at your average BBQ will more than likely include meat or dairy, they will not enjoy themselves because they can’t eat anything. Then there are the onlookers who’ll question the non-eating friend at the bbq and ask, “Hey, why aren’t you eating anything?” Some don’t want to have to go through a long and exhausting conversation about why they aren’t eating. They’re not trying to stop you from eating your nice juicy steak so don’t try to stop them from living their meat-free life!

If you’re thinking about inviting your friend to the next summer BBQ, stop and think about that first. Make sure that you will be providing meat and dairy free options that are not just vegetables. Tons of people have this wrong idea that vegetarians and vegans only consume vegetables! It’s pretty laughable.

Maybe try asking them to bring some meat free dishes. If at any time your vegan or vegetarian friend went out of their way to make you your favorite dish, which involves meat or dairy, you better know that they must sincerely love you!

If they don’t show up or choose not to attend your barbecue, you shouldn’t take it personal. BBQs and meat eating events just aren’t their thing!

The FDA has moved to finally ban Red Dye No. 3 from use in food and drugs in America.  Red Dye No. 3 was first determined to be a cancer causing color additive almost 30 years ago.  Studies conducted using labs rats found that they became inflicted with the disease after consuming large amounts of Red dye No. 3.  Thirty years ago, the FDA officially banned Red Dye No. 3 from use in cosmetics but left the door open for it to be used as a color additive in food and prescription drugs.  By January 2027, the FDA has ordered that Red Dye No 3 must be removed from all food in the USA and by 2028--from all drugs.

Green News Guide Clean, Organic & Natural Perfumes & Colognes: A List of Brands and Companies

It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...
