Hello, fellow bloggers and readers! My name is Jenna. I have been with Swanson Health Products since March of 2008. I am a 23-year-old college student, working towards an English Writing degree. While school, work, reading, writing and spending time with friends and family take up most of my time, I have embarked on a new adventure: my health.
I began taking interest in my health and what makes a healthy person when I started working at Swansons. I realized that there's more to it than diet and exercise. Sleeping habits, stress and relationships also play a major role. My goal is to work towards a healthier lifestyle and blog about what I learn.
People know all about the importance of eating healthy foods and
exercising in order to live a healthy lifestyle while losing
weight, but sometimes those lingering 5-10 pounds just won't go
away. Apart from taking natural health supplements, there are other
ways to help you reach your weight loss goals.
Drink Water. Cutting down on liquids such as
juice, soda and alcohol can go a long way. Studies show that
consuming only water can save you an average of 1,500 calories a
week or roughly 6,000...

Gluten
free shopping can be a difficult task when you are used to your
food tasting a certain way. My step-brother went gluten free last
year due to some troubles with his diet. It’s no easy task for a
high school student to drop gluten when used to the typical teenage
diet of pizza and tacos, but he managed to change enough of his
diet to where he wasn’t feeling miserable after a meal. Ever since
Thomas went gluten free I’ve tried to find new ways for him to
enjoy the occasional treats that go...Read More »
Genetically modified foods may
soon be making room for a new kid in town: genetically engineered
salmon. The FDA is in the process of considering the first ever
animal-based genetically modified food, AquAdvantage
Salmon (genetic modifications have been around in
agricultural food production for years). While the debate is still
ongoing, there is the lingering question of the nutritional value
of the genetically engineered fish. as well as the implications to
the natural health of consumers.
What makes you happy in life? I have quite a list myself - family,
friends, school, job, reading, writing, health, and a nice cup of
green tea or coffee. Whatever your list may be, can you take that
list and compare it to how other people see their own happiness? Is
there a way to determine who has a more positive or even realistic
image of happiness? Roko Belic, Director of the film
Happy, says that the things you value in life can have a
huge impact on your level of happiness. Take a look.
I went to a friend’s
house over the weekend to enjoy a fire and conversation before she
leaves for a five-month journey to Australia, lucky girl! With a
good dozen hungry people present, we felt it was only appropriate
to make S’mores around the fire. Growing up in lake country
(Minnesota), I was used to spending summers around a campfire with
my family doing this fun-filled activity. But what I had failed to
realize was how unhealthy this pastime is.
Many people in today's world look to celebrities or the media to
tell them how something should be done. But I prefer sticking with
the everyday person. When it comes to recipes, I know that there is
a vast variety of information available on the Internet. Whether
I'm looking for something delicious and nutritious for myself, or
if I have to do some gluten free shopping for my step-brother,
I know that the possibilities are endless on the Net.
While I've gone many places for recipes, including...Read More »
Organic
foods benefits are a hot topic these days. Swanson Health Products
has joined in the fun by producing many of our favorite healthy
snacks and ingredients in organic form. My personal favorite
product in the Swanson
Organic section is the Organic
Coffee.
I am typically a "fru-fru" coffee drinker, needing to add flavor or
a sweetener to my drink. But in my attempt to live a healthier
lifestyle, I decided it was time to find a coffee drink that I can
enjoy without sugar or artificial...Read More »
I recently left the Swanson
Health Products office to spend two weeks in England for a
school trip. While our topic was literature and creative writing, I
had a side topic in mind. Jamie Oliver has recently entered the
lives of reality TV watchers in the United States, stating that he
wants to make America healthy. He mentioned achieving his goal in
England and was now in our fine country to do the same. This piqued
my interest. I decided to dive into the British culture and find
out what their...Read More »
