Let's come together at the kitchen table to talk about food and nutrition. In the winter, it'll be over a hot cup of our favorite brew and in the summer, over our favorite iced drink to talk about what we eat (our diet) and how it relates to our overall well being and good health.

• Seasonal (i.e., heart smart summer, fall favorites, etc) as well as general cooking tips.
• Tip sheets on health-conditions (i.e., heart disease, stroke, weight loss, metabolic syndrome, etc) focusing on the relationship of those lifestyle habits and/or foods that make the biggest impact on these conditions. And, finally, we will talk about
• Nutrients (i.e., sodium, omega-3 fats, phytonutrients, etc) and their importance in avoiding disease and improving our health.

When it comes to diet and health, everyone's an expert and the questions and controversies are endless. Appletree Press believes and supports sound nutrition principles based on scientific evidence from integrity-based research. We rely on nutrition research conducted by the US National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association (AHA) , the American Cancer Society (ACS), the American Dietetic Association (ADA), the American Diabetes Association (ADbA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
