Staying Cramp Free and Hydrated During Competition + Secret Weapon Recipe

Tennis can take a lot out of you. Especially in singles play at the national level. Sometimes you just can’t take in enough water or food to replace the water and minerals you lose. And if it’s a hot day, the temperature on the court is even hotter. There have been times where my feet feel like they are on fire (even though I have on shoes) due to the…

Health Benefits of Asparagus

Walk into a grocery store and there in the produce section is an array of fruits and vegetables in every color of the rainbow. There are rows of green kales, spinach, herbs, beets, carrots, celery, and more that are automatically sprayed with water every few minutes to keep them fresh.

The Healthy Vegan

The Vegan lifestyle is arrived at via many different paths. Some come to it by taking a stand against factory farming, and animal cruelty, while others want to be kinder to the earth, and then there is the awareness of the health benefits of a plant based diet.

What Is Health?

Veganism and vitamin deficiencies

But here I found myself forced to defend over and over again my reasons for being vegan - the benefits to the environment, the improvement to the animal’s wellbeing, the advantage for my own health.

Veganism in the NFL

Veganism has made its NFL debut. Or at least that’s what the headlines are all shouting about. The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs is a big, big boy. At 6-foot 5-inches and 247lbs, Tony Gonzalez eats several thousand calories a day to maintain his size, his strength and his competitive edge.
