Healthy Corn Chowder

Healthy Corn Chowder Jane Day
Jane Day is co-author with Dr. John Day of "The Longevity Plan," documenting their journey to China's Longevity Village. "Preparing food for guests has always been a stressful thing - feeling inadequate and fearing that the dishes wouldn't turn out. Posting recipes has been an exercise in the ultimate confrontation of this fear. Gratefully, the joy in figuring out how to make favorite dishes with healthier ingredients now exceeds the fear and I take courage in the idea that maybe I can help someone else do the same."

  2. Hello Dear L. Larsen,

    Thank you so much for your suggestion and for your support of our blog. I also want to congratulate you on your journey of wellness and mindfulness. I find that every small choice I make in the direction of my well-being is a deposit which pays great dividends. I am excited for you as you discover the same for yourself! Your suggestion to figure out the specific nutritional information such as carbohydrates and proteins, etc., is a great one. I am so sorry that this is beyond my current capacity to make happen right now. This is a great goal to work towards. I know that, like you, John really enjoys having this information as well. I also want to share with you two things that we have found to be really helpful in achieving the goals you share: 1) to listen to our body and choose to eat the foods that give us the nutrition our body needs, and 2) to listen to our body and eat the amount it tells us it needs. It is amazing how much information our body has to share with us when we listen. It is truly our greatest ally when we trust it.

    I wish you great joy in your journey of discovery!

    All the best,

    Jane

  3. I’m trying to loose weight by counting calories. I don’t want to have to pay for dieting when I already know what I should be doing. Anyway I was wondering if you could put the Nutritional faqs on your recipes. Mostly calories & carbs. Thank-you
