The last few weeks have been tough for Erik and me. We’ve both been really focused on work (he’s been REALLY focused on work). Plus, Erik has been traveling a lot, which means I’ve been home alone eating like a preschooler – mac and cheese, peanut butter, ice cream. Also, the house is a mess and I haven’t been to the gym in ages…but that’s beside the point. Basically, the most interesting thing to come out of our kitchen lately has been the milk that went bad when I forgot about it for a week.
I have, however, been reading a lot and pretending that it counts as nutritious eating. Here are some articles/books that have grabbed my attention.
- The Science of Junk Food – Whoa. This is a long one, but really interesting.
- Did you know that a lot of your health is determined by friendly little critters? You can even map your microbiome. We’re doing it!
- The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table
– This was my book group book this month. Fantastic!
- This article on mindfulness meditation is totally off topic, but I’ve been doing it for a month and (knock on wood) no migraines!! This is the longest I’ve gone without one in over a year. Three cheers for meditation!!
