Keeping It Simple!

Sometimes, simplifying things is all that is required for complex and difficult issues and situations. It can allow us to excel beyond our expectations, but the more common path is to think, think and then eventually overthink, to make something more complex than it has to be.

Simply said, health is about what we eat—the biggest factors for wellness are food and nutritional choices. So check out the latest movements in our feature story, “Food Trends of 2024.” It covers a wide variety of information, and there is something for every generation.

Our nutritional choices, however, are not just dependent on the natural environment. As we continue to learn about traces of microplastics, insecticides and synthetic fertilizers compounds in the food supply, it is more important than ever to take care of the planet, lest our mistakes come back to harm us in unexpected ways. The choices we make today will be felt for the next 100 years.
