Greetings!

Greetings all  =)  What Young at Heart is all about? I'm constantly meeting people who struggle with weight issues, poor dieting habits, and overall unhealthy lifestyles. "I don't know how to be healthy," or "I'm too old to do anything about it now," are the two most common remarks I hear from those who want to take control of their health, but are unsure where to start. I think this speaks for a majority. The second comment is the most upsetting, it's also the most untrue. What is true, is that we live in a society that has taught us to eat by convenience. We need to slow down, tune out the garbage, and eat for our health.

I started changing my own eating habits about five years ago when I became a vegetarian (don't worry, this blog is not intended to turn you into a vegan, tree hugging, hippie...). When I started my path to a healthier lifestyle I had no clue what I was doing. I researched for hours and spent much of my time and money in book stores scoping out the latest cook books. With that said, I know how time consuming it can be and I want you to use this page as your one stop shop. I will make my best effort to post a few times a week, updating you with the latest research, information, and food tips. I want this blog to be a fun/stress free place to visit. So, feel free to post comments, correct me when I'm wrong, and add your own personal tips. This is all about learning, growing and reaching our own personal health goals  =)
I'll be back soon
