The Art of Healthy Living – The True Meaning of the Art of Healthy Living
The Art Of Healthy Living is a term that is thrown around very loosely. Most of the time people think it is a “cool” expression or they just need something catchy to put on their site but that’s not what this phrase is about. The Art Of Healthy Living is just that an Art. People never talk about Healthy Living in terms of it being an art form. People see it as something they are obligated to do or something they do to impress people. Some people use Healthy Living as a crutch to prove how self righteous they can be. These are the types that always insist you are unhealthy unless you start eating and living like them. I will do my best to clear up misconceptions about Art and the way of Healthy Living.
What does Art mean to you? You probably had many things pop in your head just there. Before I tell you what art means to me I want you to first empty your cup of tea so that you may taste mine. This an old Zen expression that means to abandon all things you think you know so that you may learn once again.

When listening to the younger generation of women discuss the topic of cooking, it is often a bit humorous and yet a saddening experience. It sounds as though we have had a disconnect in the generations and adults have failed to successfully pass on even the most basic cooking skills. Young ladies converse about this topic as though it was a skill from the past that is no longer required in our daily lives. Sadly, lack of teaching the art of cooking as a basic life function is directly the result of the fast pace of our lives. It is easy to understand how we have become a society of fast food. It quickly became much easier to make use of the hundreds of restaurant drive-thru lanes available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in any city across America.
There are several reasons that this skill should be passed along to young women as well as the young men. In the United States today, we have a serious over weight and obesity issue. The CDC as well as the United States Surgeon General has been tracking the steady increase of obesity and has sounded the alarms at the rate at which we have seen societies weight skyrocket over the last 20 years, bringing it to the forefront of healthcare. Being overweight or obese brings on many diseases such as heart problems, diabetes, back and knee injuries. That is only mentioning a few of the documented results of being overweight. The latest number of Americans that are without health insurance varies slightly, depending on which statistical sources you research. The numbers are staggering either way and all sources agree that the number is well over 40 million uninsured. In order to assist in the process of protecting our children from unnecessary health issues, we need to encourage healthy eating. Read the rest of this entry »
