Dear Lesley: Too Much of a Good Thing

I bought me some pickled beets the other day. I have been eating them nonstop. Is this healthy?

Dear Lesley: No More Flare-Ups Please!

I keep having flare ups and I cannot figure out why. I have stopped eating fried foods, gluten, and almost all the American type of food. What do you think could be going on?

Dear Lesley: Anything but Water

Can I get enough water from drinking a lot of different liquids? Do I need to drink a lot of water when I already drink a lot of liquids?

My child won’t eat anything healthy. He always tries to eat my food but refuses to eat his own food. What can I do?

Dear Lesley: Stranger Things

I have been experiencing more cramping lately. It could be the slightest thing such as reaching to tie my shoes or buckle my seatbelt. Should I eat more bananas?

Dear Lesley: Fruit After Summer’s End

I am working on doing better with my eating. Since summer is almost over, I wanted to know what fruits I should eat in the fall and winter.

Dear Lesley: No Salt No Flavor

My doctors told me to cut back on salt because I need to lower my sodium. The problem I have is that without salt there is no flavor. Can I just use a little salt?

Dear Lesley: Can Children Drink Coffee?

I have been getting criticized because I let my child drink coffee. We both really like to get a Frappuccino when we are out. I don’t understand it though. Is coffee bad for kids or something?

Dear Lesley: Meat Substitutes

I have started to add more plant-based meals in my rotation. So far it hasn’t been that bad. The foods I get taste pretty decent, and the textures are good. I am not crazy about tofu because I can’t do the texture. Even though I like the foods, I don’t like the prices.
