Often times we don’t chew our food long enough to break down the cell walls that contain many of the key vitamins and... http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/95143/benefits http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/94451/learned-raw Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:11:00 -0500 Kara Bauer Although I believe that there isn’t one right diet for everyone, including myself, I have recently been drawn to the undeniably delicious taste of gourmet raw meals prepared to maximize every last nutrient’s enzymatic power to heal and enlighten.For those who aren’t familiar with this style of eating, the raw food diet consists of unprocessed, whole-plant foods that are never cooked above 118 degrees as it’s believed that... http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/94451/learned-raw http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/94325/crowding Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:24:00 -0500 Kara Bauer Often times when people decide to embark on a new diet and healthier lifestyle, they immediately want to change everything at once. “Beginning tomorrow I will eat more whole foods, eliminate processed foods, join a gym and begin exercising 5 days a week.” Although the initial excitement can be great for motivation, it can also be difficult to maintain if too much is taken on at once.The idea of “crowding out” takes place... http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/94325/crowding http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/93358/who-would Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:32:00 -0500 Kara Bauer Who would you be if you were already the perfect weight and already in perfect health?

Regardless of the accuracy of the information we are receiving, deciding whether to get vaccinated is a very personal choice and one that I feel shouldn’t be taken lightly. Proponents of the vaccine are saying that it’s a... http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/92728/boosting http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/299905/91688/holistic Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:15:00 -0400 Kara Bauer Many of my coaching clients ask me to explain what "holistic health" means and why it is important.
