Why this blog?

My husband is 40 year old, fairly healthy, doing reasonable sport, but for the last 3 years his cholesterol level has rocketed to twice the normal values. He was basically facing the point were doctors wanted to put him under medication. Instead of jumping on that solution we started to do some researches and decided to change our eating habits. It worked ! This is one of the reasons why we are starting this blog.

Yes, we are french, therefore we like cheese, win, saucisson and the good things. We have been living in France, in Australia and we are currently living for the 3rd time in the United States. Finding products we like or doing the home cooking style is sometimes challenging. I started to look at labels at the supermarket. I was amazed with all the additives and chemicals that appeared in our food, especially the processed one in these last year.

It takes time to find the products which are still as close as to natural products.
It takes time to find the easy recipes that will not take you took much time to prepare.
It takes efforts to find the right balance which will give results on the health checks.

Therefore after 1 year of research, astonishing results on my husband’s medical tests, we decided to start this blog, share our experience and hopefully help you in your quest.

According to a 2008 national survey by Harris Interactive, 91 percent of employers “believed they could reduce their health care costs by influencing employees to adopt healthier lifestyles,” wrote two Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) experts in the July 10, 2008 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine

If companies are adopting this strategy, it is not really to save the US health care problem, it is to reduce their bottom line. But guess what, it will also help public health care spend, it will reduce your own health care spend, and you will feel better! So follow us, you will see it is not that difficult to learn how to eat well and tasty, lose weight and feel better.
