At Last! A Magazine Truly Worth the Read

by Sarah Pope / Affiliate Links ✔

I don’t know about you, but I find it annoying when I go to a health professional’s office only to find stacks of women’s magazines that spout nothing but establishment nonsense regarding nutrition and wellness strewn all over the waiting room.

Popular magazines like Women’s Day, Redbook, and Family Circle, while a somewhat entertaining and mind numbing way to spend a few minutes until the receptionist calls you in for your appointment, are clearly not a good use of time and can, in fact, easily lead you astray with misleading or even false health information and recipes loaded with processed foods.

Those healthfood store rags are even worse as they are really just marketing pieces disguised as “objective” health information for whatever food or supplement company pays for the magazine space.

The advent of internet access via one’s cellphone and the rapidly increasing popularity of tablet computers which easily fit right in your purse have at last put an end to all that paper based poppycock!

Now, instead of thumbing through paper magazines, you can instead whip out your phone or tablet and read some truly helpful health and wellness information as featured in the online magazine Real Food and Health. In addition to timely and pertinent lifestyle articles, this bimonthly virtual magazine also publishes loads of recipes with only whole, unprocessed ingredients that Moms and Dads interested in optimal health would be proud to serve their families.

The online magazine Real Food and Health is an idea whose time has come as it doesn’t require chopping down any trees to make like print magazines do nor does it cause you any paper cuts as you thumb through the BPA laced print pages.

That’s right. You can actually read a magazine without exposing yourself to chemicals and screwing up your hormones!

What a concept!

The November/December 2012 edition of Real Food and Health features no less than 42 Real Food recipes including the following that immediately caught my eye:

  • Kandied Kombucha
  • Wholesome, Easy Peasy Snack Bars
  • Fresh Spring Rolls with Sesame Lime Dipping Sauce
  • Parmesan Spinach Bread

Other sections of Real Food and Health include thought provoking articles such as The GAPS Diet and Adrenal Problems along with more practical reads like Keeping Kids Happy While You Work in the Kitchen both of which are published in the November/December 2012 edition.  The list of trusted writers includes some of whom you are probably already familiar such as Kelly the Kitchen Kop, Katie Kimball, Ken Weizer ND, and Elizabeth Walling among many others.

If ditching print based Women’s magazines promoting conventional and misleading health information is something that sounds like a great idea to you, the Editor of Real Food and Health, Heather Lionelle, has provided me with a code for the first 50 readers who check out this refreshing online read.  Each of these lucky readers will get a free copy of the November/December 2012 issue which is loaded with recipes and health/wellness tips for all your pleasure reading needs this holiday season.

All you have to do to claim your complimentary copy of Real Food and Health is hop on over to the website by clicking here and enter the code 08QE9

Please note that Real Food and Health magazine is now available via the Barnes and Noble online newsstand so those of you who own a Nook can download the holiday edition right onto your device.

You, of course, can also download the magazine as a PDF or buy through Amazon for reading on any Kindle friendly device such as your tablet or cellphone.

You can follow Real Food and Health on Facebook and Twitter as well to get sneak peaks at upcoming issues and interact with other readers on some of the articles and recipes that are published each edition.

Enjoy!

    I agree with Michelle. I too find the magazine to be less than I was looking for, and it does seem kind of old hippie-like. There are many writers on real traditional food sites that seem to write in a manner that has more of a well-researched and sound, real science bent instead of just telling personal stories and anecdotes. The fact that one of the contributors bio’s mentions first that she is a follower of Christ is a real turn off for me – I find it is disrespectful and limiting to those of us with different belief systems. I have to say no thanks this time. Also, I agree with Pam – computers and tablets, etc. etc. may not be less toxic than paper. A print magazine available in grocery stores could reach a lot of people that haven’t found where to look on the web, or simply don’t have time or money to do so.

      She states that *she* is a follower of Christ, not that you can’t read the magazine if *you* aren’t. And she’s one writer out of many.

      I get uncomfortable when health & wellness blogs promote yoga because I am a Christian and adamantly against it. But I don’t feel disrespected because of that. And I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater because of it! There is much wisdom and content to be gleaned from many of those websites, too! I just ignore the posts that make me uncomfortable. I don’t feel the need to conform in every way to the lives of the writers. I’m secure in who *I* am.

    For the people who love print…

    No matter how you get the magazine you can print the recipes! The pdf you simply print out, on the NOOK and Kindle we include a code in the back of the issue to get access to the reading library where you can print out recipes. You don’t have to print them all, just the ones you want to use when you want them.

    As far as an actual printed magazine, we are currently working on a cost effective option. If you go to our website there is a print-on-demand version available, but it’s expensive. I’m still working to find a better option. If anyone knows of any good and cheap print-on-demand services let me know!

    Every time I read about someone promoting the use of the internet for things like “magazines” I wonder what in the world we’re all thinking. The people who need to be influenced about eating well and being healthy are generally the portion of the population who don’t even know how to turn a computer on. There’s just as much crap online as there is in printed form, although I can see Sarah’s point about how a colorized printed magazine page would probably have more effect on the reader, but that can happen whether the information is good or bad, and that will all depend on your POV.

    I love my computer but I hate my computer.

    And I, too, prefer printed recipes because my computer isn’t near my kitchen. And I ABHOR video recipes. Grrrrrrr. If there’s a video with a printed transcript below, that’s a better version for me.

    Over and above the regular raggy magazines mentioned (Redbook, etc) the ones I hate are the health and fitness magazines which spout nothing but pure nonsense most of the time. They also make everyone feel as though if they aren’t a size 2 they’re just worthless and horribly fat. It’s craziness. Waiting rooms should have travel magazines and that’s about it, if any at all. Those are usually still full of drug ads, though. THAT’S where they get the older people dragged into “asking their doctor” for this or that medication. Those ads and the garbage on TV about drugs is non-ending.

    So you’re saying that connecting into Wifi and using electricity is much healthier than using paper? And that looking at a screen is much healthier than looking at the printed page? I was going to ask for proof but it just seems so ludicrous to even think that you’re right. Seriously Sarah– should we throw out our Nourishing Traditions cookbooks too? I don’t think you have to make things up– just promote good content.
