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...

I finally tried Quorn and the truth is...

I finally got around to trying brand Quorn. I had known about Quorn since about 2011-2012 and I was a bit hesitant to try their alternative meat substitutes. Perhaps that is because I’ve become acquainted with others that are pretty satisfying. Quorn uses mycoprotein to create their alternative meat products. Mycoprotein is made from fermented fungi spores and other nutrients. This protein is very low in saturated fat, high in fiber and amino acids.




I tried the pesto mozzarella chik’n breast and let me just say that yummy is not even the word! It was fantastic and packed with flavor. The distinctive pesto meshed with the texture of the breaded quorn cutlet was a great pairing. You wouldn’t miss chicken if you tried it.





Vegans and vegetarians have a world of options as far as protein substituting goes. They don’t just consume bowls of vegetables all day. That is the most common misconception of those outside the world of vegans and vegetarians.

As you might know from our BAMFEI initiative, eating less meat or no meat at all---does wonders for the environment. The carbon footprint of a vegan or vegetarian is extremely low (have you signed up for BAMFEI yet?) !

According to Quorn, the carbon footprint of mycoprotein is 10x lower than beef and 4x lower than chicken. The water footprint of mycoprotein is 20x lower than beef and 6x lower than chicken. Did you also know that Quorn was the first meat free alternative to be certified by the Carbon Trust, a carbon footprint accreditation board? So not only is Quorn tasty…it is also amazing for the planet!!

Quorn, you’ve got my stamp of approval! Sorry I took so long to try you. 💚

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

Image
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...
