Gardening’s Popularity Inspires Good Health











Guests learn how to cultivate gardens for health in the new Gardening for Life program at Lake Austin Spa Resort.

Austin, TX (Vocus) September 18, 2009 -

From the White House to your neighbor’s house, it seems everyone is catching the gardening bug. Not only can gardens provide food for low cost, they can also play an integral role in good health as demonstrated in Lake Austin Spa Resort’s new Gardening for Life program. As part of the resort’s acclaimed Culinary Experience ™ program and as a stand alone week-long program offered throughout the year, guests will learn tips from top experts for creating a garden that addresses numerous health aspects, from fatigue and aging to immune system and sleep boosters. The program also features classes such as Eating for the Season, Cooking from the Garden, Fresh Pestos and Salsas, Garden Tours, Organic Gardening, Composting 101, Healing Herbs, Why Buy Organic? and more.

The fall Gardening for Life week premieres September 28 – October 4, 2009, and Susie Coelho, style guru and former host of the hit series Surprise Gardener and Outer Spaces on HGTV will be a special guest. Gardening for Life dates for 2010 are April 19-25 and September 27-October 3.

Here are two examples of how gardens can be utilized for health:

Want to slow down the aging process? Create a tasty garden with oregano, sage, broccoli, thyme and toscano kale. Health benefit: Sage can be used in cooking has had a long history of use in slowing aging, restoring memory and calming nerves.

Concerned about catching a cold or the flu? Boost your immune system by filling a container pot with lemongrass, lemon verbena, Echinacea, lemon thyme and calendula. Health benefit: Thyme tea is soothing and antiseptic for sore throats and colds.

Lake Austin Spa Resort is known for its award-winning organic gardens, which produce hundreds of plants, herbs, fruits, vegetables, spices and wildflowers. The gardens are carefully tended to by Trisha Shirey, aptly named Director of Flora and Fauna, who has been gardening organically at the resort for more than 25 years, long before it became popular. The spa’s gardens have been named one of the Top Ten in the World by Garden Design magazine, but they offer more than just their beauty. The gardens bring life and good health by providing nutritious meals to spa guests and allowing them to reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of a lifestyle most of us remember from days long ago.

Spa treatments utilizing organic herbs are another way guests can connect with the earth. The LakeHouse Spa’s menu boasts over 100 unique spa treatments, including several signature treatments that incorporate fresh ingredients from the spa’s Healing Gardens, including Gifts of the Garden, LakeHouse Lavender and the Rosemary Sea Salt Scrub.

Whether the resort chefs are cultivating from the garden for meals, or guests are selecting herbs for a treatment, or simply strolling the resort’s gardens for the sheer beauty of them, gardening remains an integral part of the journey to good health.

Juicing, Superfoods for Health, Revitalization and Longevity Part 3

www.superfoodhealthyliving.com More About Juicing! Fruit Juice? So, why vegetable juice and not fruit juice? The problem with juicing fruit can be the high sugar content which isn’t suitable for anyone who is over weight, has diabetes, or high blood pressure. Although, you need to be aware that some root vegetables such as beets and carrots are also high in sugar. Juicy fruit is high in liquid content, so if you enjoy fruit and there’s no health problem, why not just eat it whole? Most people would agree that the big advantage fruit juice has over vegetable juice is the taste, (because of the high sugar content in fruit). A Matter of Taste For many people the biggest drawback in drinking vegetable juice is the taste, which is usually because they have an unhealthy acidic diet, and vegetables are alkaline in nature. This means the taste of many of the stronger vegetable juices can take some getting used to, so it’s best to juice the milder tasting ones to start with. However, if someone is going to be drinking vegetable juice for health reasons, it’s reasonable to assume that they will also be improving their diet, which will go some way in helping to solve this problem. Most folks sweeten up vegetable juice by including an apple or two in the mix, apple is generally accepted as being suitable to juice with vegetables.
