It has been some time since I have posted to this site. What can I say- life changed, one adventure ended, and the new one was not interesting enough to write about..... or so I thought.
I have been working in healthcare on and off for some time now. While in Argentina, I did take Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology and ran a marathon - which got me thinking..... at first a little bit...... and then quite a bit more. About what? Well, I began to think more about what I put into my body and how it was processed. I could see a huge difference in my running abilities when I ate lots of fruits and veggies (unfortunately, staying away from gelatto was quite difficult). And more recently, I have been thinking quite a bit about what goes on my body. I'm not talking cotton tee shirts and jeans here. I'm talkng about lotions, makeup, cleaning products, etc..... Afterall, the skin is the largest organ on the body and transports everything on it into it. Yet everday, most people slather, spray, paint,wipe and gloss their bodies with thousands of chemicals. Chemicals we trust to be safe. Afterall- the FDA has our backs and would never let harmful items onto the shelves of grocery stores....
It's a nice fantasy to think the FDA has our backs. I am learning quite the opposite. And as I embark on this new adventure of health and wellness, I warn you that the stories might lack the same humor of Argentine tales, but they are stories that need to be told to the ones I hold most dear- friends and family. I hope you will join me as I explore this new territory and spread the world to all those you care about as well.
Hold on tight though- this wild ride is going to blow your socks off. To begin within the next few days.....
