Month in Review: October 2008

As the month of October comes to an end, we also bid farewell to Vegetarian Awareness Month.

However, as you know here on Evolving Wellness, our passion and focus is optimal and healthy living and in many ways this involves the vegetarian lifestyle, hence from time to time throughout the rest of the year, you can rest assured that various vegetarian topics will continue to be covered.

We started the month off with “5 Common Myths About Vegetarians” and “Conflicting Health Advice About Soy“.

In the middle of the month, we examined “How We Treat the Animals We Eat” and “How Bottled Water is Not Worth the Price or Your Health“, which also ended up being one of our most popular articles.

We finished the month off by learning “How To Have a Healthy Halloween” and we dissected the popular drink Coca-Cola and learned the impacts of it on our health.

In our reviews section we added two new products: “Nestea Vitao: Acai Blueberry Red Tea” and the “You Are What You Eat - Healthy Lifestyle Conference DVD Set“.

This month, as always, a few new recipes joined our site, including the delicious “Portobello Mushroom and Zucchini Whole Wheat Pasta“.

As for what’s in store next month? Evolving Wellness along with the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) will be celebrating and promoting November as National Health Food Month. Hence, stay tuned to find out if all health food really is healthy and how to maximize the benefits of health food, while not falling for any marketing scams. We will also talk about some health food stores and find out more about the products they carry.

Month in Review: September ‘08

As the month of September comes to an end, we also wrap up the September is Salba Month here on Evolving Wellness.

Throughout this month the focus was to introduce you, the reader, to the nutritional powerhouse - Salba and the various food products from SourceSalba that are made with this amazing ancient grain.

We started the month off with a review of the original whole Salba seed and a very useful article for all those of us out there who enjoy chewing gum, entitled “Do You Know What Is In Your Gum?

In the middle of the month I presented you with a review of the Salba Life Flats and a thought provoking article, entitled “How Is Your Diet Affecting Climate Change?

We finished the month off with the final reviews of Salba products that included: the Rice Krispy Bars, the outstanding Whole Food Organic Fruit & Nut Bars and the Chewy Ancient Grains Bars.

Throughout the month we also learned the history of Salba and examined some popular Salba questions and answers.

This month, as always, a few new recipes joined our site, including one with Salba - the Organic Nectarine Salba Salad.

As for what’s in store next month? In October, Evolving Wellness will go back to its core focus of natural and balanced living in all areas of our lives for optimum health. I have a few excellent resource books to share with you regarding that topic and we are going to dissect what really is inside of the world’s so called “favorite” drink, Coca-Cola.

As well, October is known worldwide as Vegetarian Awareness Month and so Evolving Wellness will focus on some important vegetarian issues like how to get the most out of your vegetarian diet and the benefits of eating a vegetarian diet.

Month in Review: August ‘08

It has been another exciting month on Evolving Wellness, full of new topics and health applications for your everyday life. 

As always we are delighted with your feedback and welcome any questions or suggestions.

We started the month off with an article entitled “Excessive Drinking Linked to Metabolic Syndrome“. This was an emphasis again on alcohol and how unfavorable it is to anyone’s health, especially anyone who is looking at avoiding Metabolic Syndrome, which is on the rise today.

We continued the theme of toxins in the body with the article entitled “Toxic Drugs, Toxic Systems and Unnecessary Deaths“, which focused on the effects of all the medications the majority of people are put on today, and their harmful side-effects.

The middle of the month brought up topics such as local organic farming, weight issues, the role of diet in autistic children and how stress affects your allergies.

We also introduced the beautiful music of Hush for relaxation and rejuvenation of the mind, body and spirit.

And we finished the month off with the long awaited Fully Fertile Book Review.

This month, various new recipes and reviews joined our site. Our review section also got a little face lift so that the natural product reviews and recommendations could be easier to search for you, as our database grows. 

The most popular article this month was “Do You Know What is in Your Soft Drink?“, as it exposed a lot of the unwanted information of what today’s soft drinks are made up of. It will of course have follow up articles to come in the upcoming weeks.

As for what is happening next month - well, September will be Salba month here on Evolving Wellness, where aside from the usual array of articles and topics, all the reviews will be dedicated to various Salba products so that all of our readers can learn more about this amazing, natural super-food!

Till then - Live Long! Live Healthy! Live Happy!
