Life is even more hectic than usual. School started up again in September – so far we have had an in depth look at the liver and detoxification. Wow, all I can say for now is take care of that liver of yours – without that wonderous organ you would not be reading this entry!
Then we took an intimate look at digestive health from the ins to the outs. Be forewarned that at cocktail parties I may get you talking about your movements…and we’re not talking break dancing here!
Now we are onto the endocrine system. Fascinating how many hormones we have and the systems that our body has to regulate them all. Our sleep depends on them, our hunger, our moods, our growth, our drive…Whew! so much to learn…
On top of that I’ll be tagging along on a wonderous adventure as my sister and brother-in-law travel to China to adopt their daughter Ruby. Sis is very excited and so are we as we welcome niece #2.
Sis is really interested in holistic nutrition for herself and for Ruby. She asked me to guide her in choosing the best foods for Ruby. So for my Nutrition Educator program final project I developed a talk on “Building Healthy Kids.” As a result I put together a booklet that gives nutrition and lifestyle tips for new parents. I’ll be bringing along copies to give to the other parents in Sis’s adoption group. The booklet was great fun putting together and I hope to spend more time expanding it in the future.
So off I go – maybe I’ll even post from China.
