I am one of those people who loves to do research and truly enjoys the process of learning. The information I share on this blog is coming from decades (wow, did I really go there?) of learning. I was learning about health and nutrition from an early age and have been a life long student ever since.
Here are some resrouces that I would recommend to anyone who is embarking on a journey to eat real food, wants to improve their health, or just wants to learn something new. I recommend checking these materials out at your local library in order to save money. If you find that you want to keep it as a reference, then go ahead and purchase it. Over the years, I have accumulated many books that I have purchased before checking out at the library and then regretted wasting my money. Not everyone agrees with the ideas I have on health and nutrtion, so make sure you really want the resource before commiting money to it.
