The nutrient value of our foods is declining and the recommendation for fruits and vegetables has been raised from 5 servings a day to 7-13. It’s hard for many of us with busy lifestyles to fit in that much fresh fruit and vegetables, so we have to be creative and look for ways to get more. Food scientists have now found a way to make pasta even more healthy by adding unripe banana flour, which is rich in antioxidants and fiber. If you make your own pasta, this can be a great way to add more nutrients to your meal. [Read More]

Whenever I talk to people about changing their diets, invariably there are a few foods that they can’t – or won’t — live without.

Hi and welcome to the New England Health Advisory! Congratulations on taking control of your own health and wellness! In today’s world, you can no longer relinquish total responsibility for wellness to your family doctor. Your physician or healthcare provider is doing the best that he/she can. However, with limited office visit time and challenging insurance reimbursement constraints, little to no education on nutrition, stress, or fitness and the increasing influence of pharmaceutical companies, your doctor can’t do it alone.
