"Like it or not, we live in a culture that often makes unhealthy choices easier than healthy ones"
CHANHASSEN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pilar Gerasimo, founding editor of Experience Lifemagazine, is now bringing fresh ideas for healthy living to the Huffington Post’s 25 million readers.
Featured in the Huffington Post’s popular “Healthy Living” section, Gerasimo’s new “Revolutionary Acts” blog presents creative, convention-busting strategies for enjoying a healthier, happier, more rewarding way of life. Early posts encourage readers to “Exchange Willpower for Willingness,” “Eliminate Annoyances,” and “Reclaim Your Mornings.”
In addition to offering up her own insights and perspectives, Gerasimo brings a decade’s worth of journalistic research and resources gleaned from her work at Experience Life. Like the magazine (which bears the tag line “Being Healthy Is a Revolutionary Act”), Gerasimo’s blog aims to empower people to make the most of their time and energy, to enhance their well-being, and to live more vibrant, authentically rewarding lives.
Gerasimo’s “Revolutionary Acts” blog series for the Huffington Post is a complement to Experience Life’s new spin-off microsite,RevolutionaryAct.com. The ad-free site — which offers Gerasimo’s Manifesto for Thriving in a Mixed-Up World, “101 Revolutionary Ways to Be Healthy” and dozens of recommended resources in categories ranging from healthy eating to balanced living — encourages people to embrace vitality-supporting choices, rather than embrace conventional patterns that lead to obesity, stress, depression and chronic disease.
Like Gerasimo’s other media projects, her new HuffPo blog is focused on providing a progressive source of inspiration, advice and support for those seeking a healthier, more sustainable way of life.
“Like it or not, we live in a culture that often makes unhealthy choices easier than healthy ones,” says Gerasimo. “The majority of American adults take at least one pharmaceutical drug each day. Most of us are destined to suffer from depression and chronic disease during our lifetime. In a culture like this, choosing to be healthy and happy really does amount to a revolutionary act. It requires unconventional, often inconvenient choices, and questioning whether what passes for ‘normal’ is right for you. My whole purpose in doing this blog is to support people in finding a better way — a healthy, happy way of living that works for them.”
