A Quick Guide to Reading Food Labels for Healthier Grocery Shopping

A Quick Guide to Reading Food Labels for Healthier Grocery Shopping
Navigating the grocery store to shop for healthier foods doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start by checking the ingredients list – aim for fewer, recognizable ingredients and avoid those with long, chemical-sounding names. Be mindful of hidden sugars labeled as high-fructose corn syrup or dextrose, and opt for natural sweeteners like pure stevia or raw honey.

Understanding serving sizes is equally important, as misleading labels might make high-calorie and high-sugar foods seem less concerning. Watch out for artificial additives and preservatives like sodium benzoate and nitrates, and opt for products with minimal or no artificial additives. Choosing organic or non-GMO products can help you avoid glyphosate, and steering clear of artificial food dyes like Red 40 by choosing natural colorings can support a healthier diet for you and your family.

Incorporating these tips into your shopping routine will help you become a label-reading pro and make more informed choices. Even small changes can significantly impact your overall health, so remember, it’s about progress, not perfection. What are your go-to tips for healthier shopping? Share in the comments below!

Helping Your Pets During Fireworks Season: Essential Tips for Calm and Safety

Helping Your Pets During Fireworks Season: Essential Tips for Calm and Safety
With the Fourth of July approaching, it's crucial to ensure your pets are safe and calm amid fireworks and thunderstorms, events that often lead to more lost pets than any other day of the year. Proactive measures such as using calming essential oils like Lavender, Stress Away, or Peace & Calming can be incredibly soothing. These can be diffused, applied to bedding, or used in massages to help ease your furry friends.

Exercise before these events can also significantly reduce anxiety. Tired pets are generally calmer, so consider a long walk or play session. Distraction techniques such as using their favorite toys, treats, or interactive games can divert their attention from the loud noises outside.

Creating a soothing indoor environment can help as well; play calming music or turn on a fan to mask the noise from fireworks or thunder. If possible, bring pets inside or ensure they are in secure outdoor areas. Early exposure to loud noises can help young pets become desensitized, making future events less stressful. Each pet is unique, so it's essential to tailor these strategies to their specific needs, ensuring a safe and happy environment for all.

From Computer Programmer to Health and Wellness Educator

 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Allison, momma to Jackson, Connor, Brady, and Keegan, married to Peter. We live in a Philly suburb here in Pennsylvania. Our life is beautiful and crazy, but we love each other, despite all the wrestling matches my boys host. We’re definitely a work in progress.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started out at Villanova for accounting, but soon found myself as a computer programmer creating websites in the mid-’90s. That lasted a few years before I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and I’ve never looked back!

In my 20s, I struggled with endometriosis, which began my journey into health and wellness—my true passion. I even blogged about eliminating an ovarian cyst through fasting! Now, I have a strong desire to help others by sharing my story and showing there's a better way.

Fast forward to my first son, Jackson. When he was a toddler, he decided to spray Shower Power in his mouth! Let’s just say Poison Control and I were good friends back then. Although I started my journey in the '90s with food, I didn’t fully connect the dots between cleaning chemicals and health until much later.

Today, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom of one teen, a college mom, and I’ve just recently seen my two oldest boys get married! We also have two adorable mini poodles—our "girls"—to balance out the boy chaos. Homeschooling only one might seem simpler, but I’m busier than ever, balancing life and staying connected with my older boys.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my love for natural health, fitness, and homeschooling. Fresh milled flour has become a recent passion of mine. I love baking and with all the poorly processed flours out there, it’s no wonder so many are gluten-sensitive. I’m far from perfect!

I’m passionate about empowering moms, especially homeschool moms over 35 with lively children, so they can take charge of their family's health.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.

Here is my story on YouTube.
