Hi! I am Penny Steward and I want to personally welcome you to my website. My definition of wellness encompasses the daily practices that cause us to maintain physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance. I call it "The FRESH Approach To A Quality Life". FRESH stands for food, rest, exercise, stress-less, and hydration. The information I share is based on scientific research, education, and over 15 years of experience. One of my favorite quotes is "The greatest obstacle to optimal health isn't ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge." Unfortunately, many of us are victims of that illusion because we confuse marketing information with facts. Wellness education is powerful. It helps us understand why we must take responsibility for our own health rather than depend on a health care system that focuses on what to do after we are sick. This is my passion in life -- to educate people so they can feel better, look better, and spend their time and money on living their lives to the fullest rather than on illness. Be well. Choose carefully the foods you feed your body, the thoughts you feed constantly through your mind, and the perceptions you ask your spirit to accept as your truth.
