We all know that being healthy is important.
But, what does that mean and how do you know if you are healthy?
How do you measure health and are you measuring up?
Health for one person is different for another. One person may think a measure of good health is following a strict diet, another may asses their health by their physical abilities or be completely satisfied with their physician’s all clear.
I don’t think it really matters, what grade you give yourself and on what metrics, but what is important is that you do, think about it.
Here are my 4 Must Haves (for myself) For Health:
My apologies, to those who drink their recommended amount of water, feel free to skim through.
But, unfortunately you are in the minority.
It is estimated that 75% of Americans are dehydrated, and I suspect Canada and Europe aren’t far behind.

There are several protein bar/balls on the market. Some are good, meaning they are fairly healthy with wholesome ingredients and others are really bad with nothing but sugar and unhealthy fats in them.
Protein bars are super convenient, portable and easy to eat when in a hurry. There is definitely a time and place for a protein bar every once in awhile.
Unfortunately, I get horrible indigestion from everyone I try and I have tried with great expectations so many, without luck.
So, here is my recipe for homemade protein bars/balls, that don’t upset my stomach. This recipe is versatile, add in whatever you like, make it as health as you want, be creative. If you have leftover baking ingredients in your pantry this is a good way to use them up.

On the heels of February, Heart Month. I came across this article about how doctors may have been using the wrong metrics when taking women’s blood pressure. The metrics that are normal for men, which are the current ones being used, may not be normal for women.
Not until now, did I actually really think much of this.
Men and women, are very different and have different needs. Of course, this makes sense.
This is concerning for women because according to the study, the normal range of blood pressure may be too high.
