Last week my daughter, Merrin, started asking me questions about what foods to eat. She has always been a great eater and never questioned why I asked her to eat something ( dream child, I know). I am not quite sure why she all of a sudden wanted to learn more but perhaps, it’s because she is 15 and surrounded by processed ( junk ) foods when she is with friends or maybe she is just beginning to be more aware of her body. In any event, it made me happy.
We talked about food and food labels but most importantly, we talked about lifestyle choices and how all can profoundly affect your everyday health. I told her that eating good foods is not the only factor in being healthy or feeling great, creative and energetic. Mental outlook, exercising, dreaming, and living your passions are all large contributors to keeping your body optimally ( and happily ) functioning. And what excited me most about this conversation, is that she was listening!
I told her a little more about my Nutrition 101 class for middle and high school students; how it talks about basic food chemistry, food media, testing your pH and she was quite intrigued. I decided that if she was interested, her friends would be too. What I love about the Nutrition 101 class, is that is mostly about discussion and dialogue intertwined with practical food facts and labs. Teens love this and I find it is the best way to get them involved in taking charge of what they eat. Looks like I will be doing some teaching this summer, and I am excited!

It then dawned on me that Merrin needs to learn more about hydrotherapy, botanical medicines, and homeopathy. Both my kids have been very healthy and have only been to the doctors for yearly check ups or for a broken wrist. They know to do “magic socks” when not feeling well but other than that, they just ask me. And with Merrin heading to college in a few years, I need to get her prepared and confident to be preventative in her healthcare choices. That is why I put together a Natural Pharmacy ebook PDF and I plan to go over it with her this summer.
