The surprising science that shows how being near, in, on, or under water can make you happier, healthier, more connected, and better at what you do.

Read the book–The Blue Mind by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols on the remarkable effects of water on our health and well-being.

And get to the beach.

Red beets and carrots, Sunday, June 22, 2014

Interesting facts about beets.

•Beet juice benefits are very powerful. You only need a little bit of juice to get the benefits. Slowly increase the amount from 1 ounce to 2 ounce a week.

•Drink the juice raw because the most beneficial substances (like betalains) are lost when cooked. In addition, the oxalic acid in the beet becomes harmful when cooked, but is (in moderation) beneficial when raw.

•Juice the whole beets: roots plus greens. The greens contain most of the healthy minerals and vitamins.

•Beet juice may cause normal body functions to turn red. Don’t be surprised if this happens.
