When someone asks which nutrients are the most important, my response is typically: All of them. Truthfully, all 2,000 of the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients in existence are beneficial in their own way. But there is one Superstar that deserves special recognition… Vitamin D! Here’s why: It’s something to smile about! When most people think of vitamin D they think “strong bones” but that’s just a drop in the vitamin D bucket. Vitamin D does...

  St. Patrick’s Day is coming up next Monday and many corned beef and cabbage dinners will be making their way to the table!

Now, many people hesitate to indulge in chocolate because they know it can pack the pounds on you. Well, here’s the thing—when you have a regular diet of wholesome real foods (and stay away from junk and fast foods), you CAN enjoy an occasional treat like chocolate and not pay the price! Plus strict avoidance of any...
