How to store strawberries?
Local strawberries are in season! It’s so important to eat them when they are in season because strawberries don’t ripen after they’ve been picked. When you buy local strawberries you buy them when they are ripen to perfection.
Since you might be lucky enough to get your hands on a lot of local strawberries, you might have to store them so that you can eat some now and keep some for later.
There are really two ways of storing your strawberries: 1) you can refrigerate them 2) you can freeze them.
1) If you’re going to refrigerate strawberries you’ll want to take the following into consideration:
* Strawberries will last a few days in the fridge.

Are you getting the right kind of flax seeds in your diet?
It appears that not all flax seeds are created equally.
I found out about this a few months ago while watching Dr. Mehmet Oz on one of Oprah’s health segments, but a few weeks ago I was also confronted with this important lesson about flax seeds and I thought I’d pass on my findings.

Jack LaLanne’s Classic Power Juicer Special Offer
Jack LaLanne’s Classic Power Juicer has been a bestselling juicer for so many years now.
I remember buying my first Jack LaLanne Classic Power Juicer in 2002 and I used it to the point where the motor died on me.
I’ve used my Jack LaLanne Classic Power Juicer to prepare fresh juices for my breakfast and when I did my 13 day juice fast (where I only drank fruit and vegetable juices for 13 days … I ate no solid foods), I relied on my juicer to keep my body well fed.

Are you getting enough fibre in your diet?
I’m a strong believer that most North Americans wouldn’t have an obesity problem if they eat fibre-rich foods that would help them have regular bowel movements and therefore eliminate a lot of the toxins trapped in their bodies. I know, I know, if it were that simple, the gazillion dollar diet industry would do like many of the international banks have done recently and would collapse.
Personally, my body goes into shock when I don’t eat sufficient amounts of fibre and I feel so uncomfortable that I’m willing to do anything to get back to being regular.
Every time I see an advertisement for Metamucil, I want to scream because it’s so much easier (and cheaper) to each fibre-rich foods. I also believe that learning how to eat it properly will serve you more in the long run.

What’s anti-aging about a tomato?
Ok, so you’re on vacation in Italy (my personal Mecca) or the south of France or Barcelona (Spain) or on the Greek Island of Mykonos or on the Coast of Portugal and you stop a few people and ask them (in their respective language) about their intake of lycopene. Chances are, you’ll get a weird look. Now if you take out your bilingual dictionary and look up the words “tomato” and “cooked tomatoes” and ask these same people about local dishes prepared with fresh tomatoes and cooked/baked tomatoes, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and possibly an invitation to a nice home cooked meal.
In Canada, the media has recently been talking about the importance of including lycopene-rich foods in your anti-aging regime.
