Living an Optimal Life requires us to view ourselves as complete people focusing not on one aspect, but on all areas of our lives that help to keep us balanced. The foods we eat, the nutrients we take in, and both our physical and mental selves must be aligned to fulfill all that our lives have to offer.

  • "...eating this rice even occasionally could contribute to such chronic conditions as cancer, osteoporosis, nerve damage, and developmental and brain problems in children."

    by CaltonNutrition on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

    Due to the cost of labor, many things are now "made in China," but should we be outsourcing our health?  From an industrial standpoint, this leads to cheaper more accessible goods, such as electronics, but from an environmental standpoint, China is still stuck in the stage of the Industrial Revolution.  Case in point?  Recent reports, based on research presented to The American Chemical Society by Dr. Tsanangurayi Tongesayi, have indicated that rice coming from China has been contaminated with heavy metals, such as lead and arsenic.  The biggest problem is that their water supply is highly contaminated from industrial runoff and China does not have stringent environmental protection regulations in place.

  • "The study itself... stated that saturated fat and cholesterol have little to do with the supposed increase in heart disease observed with red meat consumption."

    by CaltonNutrition on Friday, April 12, 2013

    “RED MEAT CAUSES HEART DISEASE!” reads the headline - again, but this time not because of fat or cholesterol, now it’s l-carnitine. They are singing the same old song, but this time it’s to a different tune. Old habits really do die hard.  As anyone who has embarked on the type of lifestyle changes we espouse here at Calton Nutrition knows, you are often met with a lot of brush back from friends and family who say, "that's great for you, but I could never give up (insert food here)."  Of course a healthy lifestyle is a lot easier than many people think, as we clearly illustrate with our simple and easy to use Grocery Purchasing System (GPS) in our recently released book, Rich Food, Poor Food.  It's really more about making informed choices based on years of human experience, research, and common sense than it is deprivation.
