Homestead Update: The End of the Never-Ending Winter

4/29/2018

Our riot of daffodils...

I'm back! Sorry for the long absence - it was longer than I had expected. We got back from vacation in Florida last weekend and I had intended to post on Sunday, but then my mother and little sister were arriving on Sunday afternoon for a short visit, and I ran out of time. My sister is moving to California this summer, so I probably won't see much of her for a while... But we had a lovely day or so together, and it was wonderful to see so much of my family within a week's time!

Spring Break was great - the Florida beaches were clean and beautiful, and we had so much fun with my sister, brother-in-law, and the adorable twin nieces. The guys kept us well-fed with lots of fresh fish, and the twins entertained us with their constant singing, chatter, and giggles.

Anyway, I promise I'll be back with another health-related post soon, but thought I would take this week to catch up and give a quick update on homestead life and our plans for the homestead this year...

Achieving Holistic Health - Step 3: Holistic Movement

4/8/2018

0 Comments

Step 3 on our journey to achieving holistic health is, of course, exercise! Movement is key to good health - in fact, it is one of the most essential factors for a healthy life.

For the most part, how you move isn't as important as how much you move, but there is some evidence that certain types of exercise are more conducive to good health and longevity. Hours of long-form exercise that stresses the joints and organs (think marathon running) may in fact shorten the lives of those who make that their main form of exercise. But in general, as long as you're moving, you're improving your health.

Unfortunately, for most of us in today's modern world, exercise seems to be thought of as more of an optional hobby than an essential need like food and sleep - even though it is equally as important for long-term health! You will not die of lack of exercise within a few days or weeks like you would without food, water, and sleep, but you WILL die of it eventually - far sooner than you would if you treated it as the essential need that it is.

As I explain below, in order to stay lively and healthy throughout your natural lifespan, you need to get moving!
