Bill Lewis
President of the California Beekeepers Association Bill Lewis is buzzing about town today with information on how to save honey bees and why we as humans are so dependent on them for our food supply. The bees not only pollinate the plant-based foods we eat, but also pollinate the foods animals eat, which in turn provides us with meat, dairy, and more. It's all about preserving the food chain. Learn more about how parasites, drought, and pesticides impact the bee population and how we can help by planting flowers. Plus, find out how to raise a honey bee colony in your very own backyard.

Christine Avanti
Chef and nutritionist Christine Avanti takes us on a journey through proper diet in each decade of life. She begins with nutrition in our 30s, when we should load up on beef, poultry, and pumpkin seeds as sources of iron and rely on red wine, dark chocolate, and coffee for phytonutrients. Moving on to our 40s, calcium and fiber should be added to our intake as our estrogen levels decrease and metabolism slows. Christine recommends the over 50 crowd swallow a daily multivitamin.
