Greetings, everyone!

Lately, we have been working to focus our efforts on the specifics of healthy living, in general. As the name Vegan Family Living implies, we will also begin to address our ongoing transition of lifestyle as we learn more about healthy living. Even though the vegan diet has become a cornerstone of our household, we are discovering that healthy living involves so much more than just what we eat. In fact, most of us spend only 8% or less of our day for mealtimes. That combined with the roughly 63% used for sleeping, working, and commuting, leaves us 29% of our day in which we can focus on choosing “healthy alternatives” that would benefit “the rest of our life”.

While we are concerned for the physical well-being of our bodies, an equivalent amount of energy must be focused on other contributors to our health besides what we eat. For example, the best of food can only do so much good if we are stressed out, disorganized, and over-worked. Also, there may be some of us (myself included) who are more or less physically challenged for various reasons and would like to discuss alternative and additional approaches to improvement.

For the next few months we will be featuring recipes and insights from my favorite Mexican vegetarian chef, Bolivar Gomez. He has spread the virtues of a healthier lifestyle throughout the southwest Chicago Hispanic community and beyond. I have been literally “blown away” by the authenticity and consistency of his dishes. I hope that you will be as inspired by his input as I have been by his work of promoting tasteful, yet healthful cuisine. Additionally, if time allows before our relocation, I’m requesting a video and podcast from him. Hopefully, we’ll get both.

There are many other “goodies up our sleeves” for the upcoming year that we hope will begin to round out the experience of eating as well as living vegan.

To your blossoming health,

Rupert.
