An email from a reader: Will you start a series?

Posted on July 14th, 2008 in Eating for beauty by Vegan Momma

blueberries.jpgAlthough I like series posting I only do it on a few of my websites. I haven’t done them too much here on Vegan Momma, as I’ve mentioned a few times before I receive a lot of email from my readers as I was checking the email that came in for my various websites I found one for Vegan Momma. The reader asked whether I would consider doing a series on something health related.

Actually, I have done some health related series but I tend to hold off because of the time that usually goes into the series I do on other websites; however, I have been thinking of doing a few series focused on Where do Vegans get their protein?

The past few months I’ve been thinking of a fitness series focused on people who don’t want to go to the gym, and another one focused on Eating for Beauty (guess what you don’t have to be female to benefit from the series) the beauty I’m talking about is related to the foods you eat and the effect they have on your body.

I’m going to kick off the series this week and write about Eating for Beauty. I’m not sure how long the series will last. It’s a subject I truly enjoy talking and writing about. In the real world I’m involved in various events where I’m asked to speak on the topic, and I’m always willing to talk with people who want to know more about nutrition. Currently I’m thinking of ways I can tie in Healing Yourself Naturally and The Raw and The Cooked into the discussion so my readers there will benefit also. Ok, I know how I can accomplish it; however, it means a lot more work for myself. Time, is a definite factor.

I’m always amazed at the huge disconnect that many people have with food and how it affects their bodies. You would think I would get used to it after all these years, but it still surprises me. We’re not helpless we have control of a lot of the conditions that happen within our bodies. If we continue to feed our bodies junk why in the world do we expect to receive peak performance, sorry (in most cases) it’s not going to happen. Remember GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) yeah that applies to our eating habits also.

Change can be hard, and I know that some people don’t want to admit that what they are eating directly affects their health because in doing so they will admit they should be making changes. I talk with these people often. In working with people who are trying to change their eating habits I give them a challenge stick with a certain way of eating for x amount of time and tell me whether you feel different. All of them have noticed a change for the better. More on that in a later post, or perhaps a series? ;-)
