Here is a useful mnemonic to help you remember a simple but remarkable way to stay healthy. Think of it as a NEW START:

N - Nutrition. Eat a variety of wholesome foods, (i.e. fruits, grains, nuts seeds and vegetables)

E - Get adequate exercise daily

W - Drink copious amount of water daily. Here is an easy formula to remember: take your weight and divide it by two. The amount you get is the total number of ounces you should drink daily. For example, 100 lbs divided by 2 = 50 lbs. Then, simply change the units to ounces: 50 oz. Finally, divide 50 oz by 8 oz. Therefore, you should drink 6.25 (6 1/4) cups daily. Note that the amount of water you need daily is relative to your weight.

S - Get enough sunlight when possible before 12:00pm

T - Be temperate in all things

A - Get enough fresh air daily

R - Get adequate rest

T - Trust in God

After being unexpectedly diagnosed with colon cancer in 2003, owner Léa Funderburg began her search for answers. Having reluctantly decided against chemotherapy, she faced the challenge of researching alternative treatment options. After careful deliberation, she attended Wildwood Lifestyle Center & Hospital located in Wildwood, Georgia which specializes in well-proven natural treatments including hydrotherapy, herbal remedies, exercise, nutraceuticals, and dietary modification. After a month of intensive therapy, she left feeling invigorated, having a new lease on life.

Now Léa loves to share her story of how alternative medicine and a more serious approach towards lifestyle change has kept her cancer free since her emergency surgery. Léa accredits her healing to God and His marvelous remedies found in nature.

Thus, the reasoning behind HRF is to inform as well as offer a product that can improve life quality. Being a cancer survivor, owner Léa Funderburg senses the urgency to warn people about the dangers of unhealthy living. Having managed a local food co-op and café inside of a women’s gym, she has been educating the public about healthful living since 1994.
