Wowsers. Hate to say I told you so, but....
Researchers at University College London studied almost 4,000 people and found a direct correlation between the intake of processed foods and depression. People who ate, foods like non-organic meats and meat products, fried foods, sweetened foods, pastries and desserts--basically, the typical American diet-- had a 58% increased predisposition to depression.
FIFTY-EIGHT PERCENT, PEOPLE!
The same researchers also found that a diet including plenty of anti-oxidant rich fresh vegetables and fruit, Omega-3 rich fish and organic foods could help prevent the onset of depression.

You go on there, type in your city, zip or a specific keyword and voila... you have a list--a BIG list--of places local to you that carry foods that are local, sustainable, humanely grown AND organic. And, we're not just talking markets that carry these foods, there are restaurants, bakeries, wineries, caterers, personal chefs... OMG... it's healthy food galore!
This website has me so excited, I'm concerned! HA!
Seriously, check it out!

Eating Green
Hey there... just doing some research and I thought you guys would love this website:
Natural Resources Defense Council.
It contains all sorts of fabulous information for protecting the environment and at the same time, ensuring a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Talk about two birds with one stone.
One of my favorite sections of this website is their Green Eating Guide. This section is invaluable, not only to your health but to your environment... as I hope you know that the daily food choices you make have quite an impact on our lovely little planet.
Check out the website and especially the Green Eating Guide, there's a ton of amazing advice on eating local, buying organic, reducing waste and just being a friend to the place we call home (btw, I'm talking about Earth, not your apartment or house!)
I particularly love the eating local section... I use it to see what locally grown foods are in season in New York.
Here's to not only healthy eating, but environmentally conscious eating!
Yeehaw!

No Impact Man
Have you heard of this guy?
No Impact Man, Colin Beavan, is on a personal mission to educate the environmentally unconscious individual--that's most of us-- on how to reduce their carbon footprint all the while making their lives healthier, richer and happier.
Sounds like a win-win situation!
Mr. Beavan has a pretty cool story and way of life... he doesn't even own a TV (fyi: neither do I)! He has a book and pretty soon he will have a movie out both of which chronicle his family’s year-long experiment living a zero-waste lifestyle in New York City.
Awesome!
He has inspired me to join in the fun, and you can too...!
No Impact Man has joined forces with Huffington Post and they are hosting No Impact Week which launches this week, on October 18th.
The mission of No Impact Week:
Check out Colin's blog, support the cause and join the masses next week in No Impact Week. We could all discover ways to reduce the stress we are burdening mother nature with.
Be well!

The mission of No Impact Week:
a one-week carbon cleanse. It is a chance for you to see what a difference no-impact living can have on your quality of life. It’s not about giving up creature comforts but an opportunity for you to test whether the modern “conveniences” you take for granted are actually making you happier or just eating away at your time and money.
Check out Colin's blog, support the cause and join the masses next week in No Impact Week. We could all discover ways to reduce the stress we are burdening mother nature with.
Be well!
