By Oasis Institute Webmaster|2014-05-27T00:00:00-05:00May 27th, 2014|Health|

One habit that causes bad food choices is skipping meals, particularly breakfast. The human body needs energy and nutrients to start the day, which makes breakfast the most important meal of the day. Don't let your mind overrule your body’s common sense. Experience the bounty of life when you use your brainpower, fueled by breakfast, to make simple yet effective lifestyle changes.

Have you planted your tomatoes yet?

By Oasis Institute Webmaster|2014-05-07T00:00:00-05:00May 7th, 2014|Health, Lifelong learning|

I’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day in my own special way this coming weekend, when I plant tomatoes. When I read Jamsey Thomas’ blog about hobbies a few weeks ago, I wasn’t surprised to see gardening near the top of the list for people age 50-plus.

Family health issues changed all that. The change started with learning how to improve our diet. So began the process of discovering how to create a delicious meal filled with vegetables ... like Super Simple Pizza Soup!

Happy AND Healthy Holidays!

By Oasis Institute Webmaster|2013-12-10T00:00:00-05:00December 10th, 2013|Health|

Now that we’re into the 2013 holiday season, remember the messages you are sending to the youth in your life. Holidays are filled with sweet treats and comfort foods, often with few healthy foods and little exercise. It’s a great time to celebrate with friends and family, but healthy messages should still be a part of the event. And you have a wonderful opportunity to teach everyone that healthy eating and staying active can be fun! Here's how.
