{communicatecreative} Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons. These Salted Caramel Macaroons are the perfect combo of sweet and salty! I will start this post off by saying a huge thank you to all those who sent positive thoughts to me the past few weeks while we lived without power. We are officially back in business after 2 very long weeks without… My thoughts still go out to those who are living without power and homes due to the horrible devastation that was Hurricane Sandy. I encourage everyone to donate, even if it’s just a few dollars to the relief efforts for those who are now homeless and suffering. When the power finally came back on late afternoon last Friday I had never been so excited to run a load of laundry…or wash a load of dishes. That excitement lasted about 37 minutes. Apparently it wasn’t DOING the laundry that I missed, it was the ABILITY to do the laundry.
And although I complained every minute of every day without power, or running water or internet, there are many who are far worse off than I. I’m a bit of a princess. Ohhhhh…. Notes. (1) Facebook.

Sitting is Killing You Extended periods of sitting causes major health problems, from increased risk of obesity and diabetes to cardiovascular disease and cancer. The fact is most of our jobs require extended sitting (behind the desk or the wheel), but we have to leave our seat and take a walk for couple of minutes. When we talk with phone or with friends and colleagues, we can standup and talk. These small changes may have huge positive effects.

Nutrition Facts Provided by: EatingWell. A Mouthful of Deliciousness. Facebook. Seven methods for creating the best digestion of your life.
(NaturalNews) Dealing with the symptoms of chronic digestive dysfunction can be discouraging for many people, especially when unknown dietary and environmental triggers constantly seem to create bloat, abdominal pain, gas, and other problems. But correcting the issue can also be as simple as eating certain foods while avoiding others, and learning to eat foods that promote healthy floral balance in the gut. Besides avoiding specific foods to which you may be allergic -- consulting an allergist trained in naturopathic methods may be the best course of action for this -- here are seven ways to naturally promote gut health and eliminate indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), intestinal inflammation, and other conditions that may be inhibiting proper gut function: 1) Probiotics. The importance of regularly taking probiotic supplements and eating probiotic foods cannot be stated enough, as these are the bedrock elements of strong digestion. 2) Fermented foods. 3) Aloe vera. 4) Zinc.
Candida 101. Candida (Yeast) is a late sign of impaired gut health. Candida is associated with craving simple carbs (white foods--pasta, bread, rice, and all sugars) which feed the yeast. Candida develops for many reasons. Basically, it is a 'helper' attempting to create balance in the gut, generally due to antibiotics, preservatives, heavy metal toxins and sterile foods.
We can make candida infections obsolete and unnecessary by rebalancing gut microbials. Antibiotics for mother or baby during pregnancy and birth are the most common sources of microbial imbalance leading to candida in children (and mother). The mother's exposures to mercury through (silver) amalgam fillings and vaccinations herself, and HER mother's mercury toxin exposures are other variables leading to candida overgrowth. Our foods have "preservatives", which means chemicals that retard microbial and bacterial growth in the food product. Our gut, which is 70-80% of our immune system has 500-1000 different types of microbials. P.S. (1) Facebook. (1) Facebook. Facebook. Classic Escalloped Potatoes and Ham.
