Give your kids and yourself a fighting chance: Part 2
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: May 30, 2012
I want to keep my kids as far away as I can from the doctor’s office and from hospitals. Healthy, happy kids make for a happy home. No screaming crying babies, staying up to all hours of the night calming and soothing them and trying to get them back to sleep, everyone on edge from [...]
Give Your Kids a Fighting Chance
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: April 24, 2012
Are you giving your kids a fighting chance? A fighting chance you might say…well of course I am. What I mean is in this modern world we live in there are no real guarantees to avoid sickness, diseases, disorders, or even death. What I mean is are you fueling their bodies with the right kinds of [...]
FDA Approved!?
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: April 2, 2012
FDA approved or unapproved is a joke! I have to say after years of doing research and being on a quest for whole food and plant based nutrition and doing what’s right for my body and my families bodies, when I see the words ‘FDA approved’ I seriously question it. I mean think about it, the almighty [...]
Got Milk? The milk myth exposed.
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: March 5, 2012
Okay, if you’re like me you grew up drinking milk…cow’s milk that is. My mom and dad engrained in me that milk was essential for strong, heathy bones and I even thought that’s what I needed to give my own kids too. We’ve seen tons of commercials and magazine ads with famous faces with their [...]

All Supplements Are Created Equal, Right?
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: December 28, 2010
Have you gone to the store lately to purchase a vitamin or supplement? It’s a pretty daunting task considering there are rows upon rows of supplements. How do you know what to pick? Is there a difference? Many say natural and/or organic, but what does that really mean? It’s very misleading. If you take a [...]
Holiday Reflections-December 2010
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: December 22, 2010
Over 7 ½ years ago my husband and I had our 2nd child Diego Wayne Mercado. What a precious little bundle of joy, a new addition to our family. But wait, something was wrong, not quite right…what was it? Sooner than later we found out he had a genetic defect or a disorder called Menkes [...]

The Real Reason this Chicken Should be BANNED
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: November 12, 2010
I have seen some controversy here lately on McDonald’s and their food. It was mainly centered around the fact that the food is fattening and not great for you, but that we have the choice to steer clear of this restaurant and their food. Basically, if you are dealing with weight issues, steer clear of [...]
Diet, Light or Sugar Free
Posted by: aliciasimsmercado on: October 26, 2010
I used to drink 1 to 2 diet drinks a day. I wanted something with carbonation and some flavor, so I thought instead of getting the regular soft drinks, diet would be better for me. I knew it wasn’t a great choice, but I thought it was an okay exchange for all the sugar. Here’s [...]
