We are so pleased to be rolling into Texas! This far south, we are bound to be enjoying warm weather for the weekend, which is great because we want to get outside. We're going to see some nature, history and culture. And, see how things really are bigger in Texas.
To many of us, it might seem like losing muscle is just a normal part of aging. We watched it happen to our parents and grandparents. But, it is possible to regain that muscle and stay healthy as you age!
We make lower-carb food choices, cut out sweet drinks, give up candy. And, yet, there is still a lot of sugar in our day. Now, scientists have given us more incentive to avoid sugar as they have seen that the sweet substance alters fruit flies’ biology in a way that harms the brain.
In the fall, when it’s cool but not cold, scrubbing cooking pans can take us from pleasantly warm to sweating in mere moments. To enjoy the benefits of the oven — and avoid the sweat associated with washing pots and pans — we are looking at meals cooked in foil packets.
Coriander has been used for thousands of years. It’s not surprising when you consider both its pleasant flavor and its many useful properties. It may lessen joint pain, aid digestion, ease a cough or bronchitis, lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar and help inflammation and rheumatism.

Unroasted, or green, coffee has chlorogenic acid that's been linked to weight loss and other health benefits. People are touting green coffee — as a drink, extract or supplement — as a health cure-all.

In the fall, fresh produce is widely available and perfectly ripe. Sometimes, later in the year, it can be harder to find in-season produce as the weather turns colder and harvest time ends.

But, it can be so easy to follow the trend without thinking about it, and we wanted to reflect on if it’s good advice.
