Bonnie's Thoughts
What a strange year its been. Every one of us began this year with dreams of what the next 12 months would bring and for so many of us, these dreams have taken a turn, some good, some bad. Our world has been turned upside down. For many of you your dreams took on a new vision and were not what you had imagined, yet many of you created something that took your personal and business lives to new heights.

Everything is being cancelled, whether it is a business meeting, a networking event, your vacation or right now your flights. Yes, we need this at this very moment, but how can we get some relief from our anxiety?

Why Fermented Foods? (amazing lacto fermented Kimchi recipe below)
Posted by Bonnie Rogers on 7/2/2015 to
Healthy Recipes
My “gut” tells me that most people have no idea that there is a difference between the pickles or sauerkraut that you can get in the supermarket vs the lacto fermented vegetables you can purchase (in a few places) or make in the privacy of your own kitchen.
So what really is the difference?
Lacto fermented vegetables are filled with probiotics that help our gut digest and assimilate our food
Lacto fermented foods are raw and without any chemicals added

The world we live in is filled with way too many toxins. They are found in our food, our environment and just about everywhere we go. The problem I see is that these toxins find a place in our body to live. In some people they may create a digestive problem, weight issue and the list goes on. Toxins are stored in our fat cells.
