TIME TO GET HEALTHY
It should be the case that we are more active in the summer time. Hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming and playing sports are usual activities this time of year. This can make us more fit and healthy. With farmers markets and fresh produce we can have healthier food and diets. People who live at Tahoe tend to spend more time outdoors and therefore are more active and healthy.
We are constantly hearing how unhealthy the American populace is and we all need to take responsibility for our physical, mental and emotional well being.

Our mental and emotional states affect our physical body and the state of our physical vehicle affects our mental and emotional well being.
