My mission is to inspire and empower you to make healthy nutritional and lifestyle choices that will improve your quality of life. Some have asked me, why not display the usual images of food--green, orange, red, and purple--the common "edible" colors? Holistic.

A free radical is an atom or molecule that is unstable due to at least one unpaired electron in its outer shell; in the human body it is usually an oxygen molecule that has lost an electron and will seek to stabilize itself by stealing an electron from a nearby molecule.Oxidation is necessary for the breakdown of our food, and also as part of the immune process for fighting off viruses and bacteria.

The Glycemic index of a food is an indication of how fast and how high a particular food is likely to raise a person's blood sugar. The Glycemic Index is a measure of how fast the body converts a food to glucose, as compared to pure glucose, which is assigned the value of 100.
The Glycemic Index does not provide a complete picture, because it doesn't take into account the serving size, so the Glycemic Load, proposed by researchers at Harvard University, is used.A GL below 10 is considered to be low, and above 20 to be high. Keeping track of your GL is a great aid in weight management, since your level of carbohydrate consumption is a major player in body weight.
