Cherry Tomato & Wild Arugula Pasta

Cherry Tomato & Wild Arugula Gluten-free Pasta by HLife Photography

This is a perfect gluten-free pasta for lunch on a sunny day. My husband and I LOVE pasta, but  instead of buying the nutrient-deficient semolina pasta, we always buy organic QUINOA pasta and sometimes brown rice fettuccine pasta for vegan pad-thai, both gluten-free. You can get gluten-free pasta at Whole Foods, or your local natural food market. If they don’t have it, tell the manager of the store to get with the program and get it in the store. Let’s get to the goodness of this recipe, a delish, light, and flavorful lunch pasta. Read More…

Dr. Robert Young on The pH Miracle

HT DR. Young

Our alkalinity article was an HLifer favorite, so we thought we’d go a step further and bring you the latest from the expert on the topic: Dr. Robert Young. The author of many research papers and several books, the most noted of which is The pH Miracle (translated into 17 languages and regarded as the bible of alkalinity), Dr. Young is a nutritional microbiologist who has performed live and dry blood analysis on thousands of individuals at his center in California, with astonishing results and revelations about what is healthy for our cells – and what is not.

In this interview, Dr. Young discusses the importance of alkalinity in the body,  answers some of our readers’ questions about limes, eggs and sugar, explains why he doesn’t recommend algae, mushrooms or cooked food, gives his take on blood types, and introduces us to a new exercise style called Younga Yoga.
