Healthy TV | Episode 059

When I ask people – “Would you like to live a longer life?” the answer is almost always “It depends…” Which is usually followed by some earnest conversation about not wanting to be dependent on anyone else, to be a burden…

And I get that.

In fact, my goal for longevity has changed from stating a specific number to simply being really clear on the state of function I want to maintain, forever.

So that begs the question: What can I do to maximize my health and function long term?

Do you buy from any of the local Ottawa farmer’s markets? Comment below and share your favourite!

In this episode, I talk about a HUGE blank spot most people have when budgeting for their weekly groceries…

I love burgers.  In fact, I had a great burger last week at one of my favorite burger joints in Ottawa – Hintonburger.    Seriously. If you live in Ottawa and haven’t had ‘The Hintonburger’ make it a priority.

Apart from the superior taste and their brand new digs on Wellington St, one of the best things is that Hintonburger buys their beef from a farm located exactly 56.1km from their kitchen.  Not only that but these cows are of the pasture raised, drug-free variety.

Our Life By Design Challenge for July has been to Get Your Weekly Dose Of Vitamin N… How did you do, btw?  I upped the ante a bit and challenged myself to explore at least 1 new trail each week… And I made it to 7!

Normally I get my Vitamin N playing across the Ottawa River in Gatineau Park and I’m often asked “What trail should I do?”
