There’s something about an open fire that just feels right. Whether it’s the sight of the flickering flames, the warmth of the fire or the scent of burning wood, almost everybody enjoys sitting around an open fire.

Many of us have a work schedule that is full of long, arduous hours in front of the computer. When it comes to activity level, sitting down and staring at that screen all day long is equivalent to lounging on the couch all day in front of the TV. Inactivity, along with poor nutrition, is the leading cause of obesity related chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and diabetes.
