Welcome to PNN!

  Welcom to PNN and my new site!  My name is Julia and I am 47 years old and a wife, mother to 2 children ages 13 and 11 and a recreational athlete.  I am interested in all aspects of health and wellness and hope you will join me on this journey  for as long as you can.   I will write about everything from nutrition from recent  research  on things like the soy/estrogen/cancer debate  to a quick healthy lunchbox meal you can fix for your kids to to my latest endeavors on the asphalt as I struggle to regain some semblance of what passes as  fitness after too many years at a desk job.  Mom was right when she said just wait until you are in your forties.  Your body is just not as forgiving as it was when you were twenty five and could stay up until midnight eating pizza and drinking beer and follow it with  a 5am run the next day (before work) with no side effects.  Well, life has a way of saying I told you so, but I'd like to think that I have some chances left to prove to myself that I can be the best I can be at the age and size I'm at now.
