ALMOND MYLK VS. COWS MILK: THE DECISION IS YOURS

HEALTH TIP FOR THE WEEK: 

Almond milk is a popular milk substitute that is made by  

mixing finely ground almonds with water. Almond milk has  

a very high nutritional value and, unlike cow's milk, is safe for those who are lactose intolerant or have gluten and casein allergies. Here's how almond milk and cow's milk compare.

Almond Milk and Its Origins

Almond milk is made by mixing ground almonds with water and straining it to remove almond skins and sediment.  Almond milk has been used since the Middle Ages as a substitute for cow's milk. Because cow's milk doesn't keep very long without refrigeration, medieval people processed it into butter and cheese right away to preserve it. They used almond milk in cooking and baking, since it's easier to store.

The Nutritional Value of Almond Milk

Almond milk is one of the most nutritionally valuable milk substitutes available today. It is high in a number of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, iron, fiber, zinc and calcium. Almond milk is low in calories, at only 40 calories

per eight ounce serving, and low in fat. It contains only three grams of fat per eight ounce serving. Almond milk is lactose, gluten, casein and cholesterol free; it's also free of saturated fats.

The Nutritional Value of Cow's Milk

Whole cow's milk is a very nutritious food. It's high in protein, with eight grams per serving. One eight ounce cup of milk meets 28% of your daily requirement of calcium, and fortified  

milk helps to fulfill your daily vitamin A and D requirements.  However, whole milk is high in fat, with eight grams per serving, and saturated fat, with five grams per serving.  Milk also contains 24 mg of cholesterol per serving, and contains 146 calories per serving.

Almond Milk and Cow's Milk compared to cow's milk, almond milk is the much healthier choice.

Almond milk contains a wide variety of the vitamins and minerals that your body needs to function. Almond milk also contains high levels of antioxidants, so it can help prevent many types of cancer and slow the signs of aging.  Almond milk is also great for those who can't drink cow's milk due to lactose intolerance, or a casein or gluten allergy;  however, those with tree nut allergies should avoid almond milk because it could elicit a dangerous allergic reaction.

Whole cow's milk contains a lot more calories and fat than almond milk, making almond milk the better choice for thoseon a diet. Cow's milk also contains saturated fat and cholesterol; almond milk is free of both saturated fat and cholesterol, making it a healthier choice, especially for those
with heart problems.

While cow's milk contains high levels of calcium, and is fortified with vitamins A and D to help you meet your daily requirements of these vitamins, almond milk contains high levels of a wide range of necessary vitamins and therefore has a higher nutritional value than cow's milk. The only thing  

that cow's milk has more of than almond milk is protein; cow's milk has eight grams of protein per serving while almond milk has only one gram per serving.

REMEMBER CHANGE IS GOOD AS LONG AS IT'S AT YOUR OWN PACE AND YOU HAVE A DELICIOUS HEALTHY SUBSTITUTE.

Health Tip for David & All Those Who Know They Need More Nutrients

HEALTH TIP FOR THE WEEK: 

FIVE STEP PLAN FOR ADDING MORE VEGETABLES TO YOUR DIET:

Try to make delicious soups, vegetable juices and green juices more often in your Vitamix!

1.  First you don't need a recipe!

**When first starting to incorporate green juices and vegetable juices they may need to be sweeter and really tasty just to get them down.  So, 3 parts fruits, 1 part vegetables or greens.  Try that for one week.

2.  Don't become a sugar addict!

**Adding fruit is great but the goal is to have more vegetables than fruit daily.  So, after week one, make your juice with 2 parts fruit and 2 parts vegetables.  Week 3, 3:1 ratio (Vegetables to fruit).  Try not to add sweetener, if you must use raw organic and local honey, coconut nectar, dates, prunes, figs or maple syrup.

3.  Replace one meal with a juice.

**We need more fiber in our diets.  The Vitamix helps you with the number one intestinal cleanser from all natural whole plant based sources.  There is no fiber in dairy, meat or processed foods and these items make up 80% or more of our diets.  For weight loss or illness replace 2 to 3 meals with a vegetable juice.

4.  Take your juices to work and spread the message of health and how the juices are changing your life!

**The juices may look gross and even taste gross but we need them.  Bring small cups to share. The more you have the vegetables the more you begin to crave them.  The taste is only great with fruit, but fruit cleans you out.  Only vegetables heal.  You will feel better, look better, perform at your peak, increase your energy and stamina and you'll even become calmer, nicer and achieve a radiant glow. 

5.  Follow the rules!!!

**Fruit with dark leafy greens - blend and enjoy!
**Fruit with vegetables (everything besides dark leafy greens except vegetable fruits like (tomato, avocado, cucumber, bell peppers))
**Liquid base - filtered water, coconut water, almond milk (make your own in the Vitamix), Aloe juice or gel from the plant.
**Adding Flax, Hemp seeds, sesame seeds, raw vegan protein powders, bee pollen, green powders, goji berries, maca, lucuma,  flax, hemp or coconut oil and any other seeds and nuts are healthy additions.
**Ice or Frozen fruit to keep your juices cool and if too cold just run your Vitamix longer to bring ingredients back to room temperature.
**Don't be afraid to run your Vitamix to reach a smooth and super liquified palatable texture, you won't hurt your machine.

Making quick fiber packed juices in your Vitamix will change your internal environment into a lean green well fibered filled machine.

REMEMBER CHANGE IS GOOD AS LONG AS IT'S AT YOUR OWN PACE.  PLEASE  IHAVEDIVINEHEALTH.COM .

ACID REFLUX, GERD OR GORD

 A BRIEF WORD ON ANTACIDS?

When you suppress the acid level in your stomach, foods are not properly digested.  The nutrients are then not available to your body.  This robs you of the vital building blocks for good health, such as vitamin B12 and calcium.

If an over the counter drug promises immediate results you may want to consider avoiding foods that cause symptoms before subjecting your body to drugs that cause more harm than good.

Antacids reduce the acid level in your belly, not a good situation even if you eat a very healthy diet.

To your health!

A BALCONY HARVEST

A garden to live for!!!  Say hello to this beautiful balcony garden and my client of course.  Check out all of those lush greens.  It's easy being green at 72 years old.  Gardening keeps you young and vibrant.  This 72 year old lives alone, drives, prepares her own meals and is a blast to hang around.  She has a unique story, as we all do but she is an overcomer and she has triumphed to Victory!  As we continue to work together she continues to receive great positive updates from her doctor.   There is something about working in soil, inhaling the spores and working with the sun.  Producing a living harvest that can feed your body the nutrients is needs is a privilege and a right that everyone can and should enjoy.

Along with some individual flower pots she also used these growing kits from Home Depot.

ARE YOU AT RISK?

Prevent heart disease and live a healthy and active life with your very own Health Coach, Me.  The information below is very informative but sometimes even when we know what to do we still don't do it and we just might need a push in the right direction and a guide on our side. 
What Are the Risk Factors for Heart Disease?

There are several risk factors for heart disease; some are controllable, others are not. Uncontrollable risk factors include:

• Male sex
• Older age
• Family history of heart disease
• Post-menopausal
• Race (African Americans, American Indians, and Mexican Americans are more likely to have heart disease than Caucasians)

Still, there are many heart disease risk factors that can be controlled. By making changes in your lifestyle, you can actually reduce your risk for heart disease. Controllable risk factors include:

• Smoking.
• High LDL, or "bad" cholesterol and low HDL, or "good" cholesterol.
• Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure).
• Physical inactivity.
• Obesity  (more than 20% over one's ideal body weight).
• Uncontrolled diabetes.
• High C-reactive protein.
• Uncontrolled stress and anger.

What Can I Do to Lower My Risk of Heart Disease?

Making changes in your lifestyle is a proven method for reducing your risk of heart disease. While there are no guarantees that a heart-healthy lifestyle will keep heart disease away, these changes will certainly improve your health in other ways, such as improving your physical and emotional well being. Also, because some risk factors are related to others, making changes in one area can benefit other areas.

Here are some ways you can reduce your risk of heart disease.

• Quit smoking . Smokers have more than twice the risk for heart attack as nonsmokers. Smoking is also the most preventable risk factor. If you smoke, quit. Better yet, never start smoking at all. Nonsmokers who are exposed to constant smoke (such as living with a spouse who smokes) also have an increased risk. So taking measures to eliminate this exposure to smoke is important.
• Improve cholesterol levels. The risk for heart disease increases as your total amount of cholesterol increases. In general, your total cholesterol goal should be less than 200 mg/dl; HDL, the good cholesterol, higher than 40 mg/dl in men and 50 mg/dl in women (and the higher the better); and LDL should be less than 130 mg/dl in healthy adults. For those with diabetes or multiple risk factors for heart disease, LDL goal should be less than 100 mg/dl (some experts recommend less than 70 mg/dl if you are very high risk). Interpretation and treatment of cholesterol values must be individualized, taking into account all of your risk factors for heart disease. A diet low in cholesterol and saturated and trans fat will help lower cholesterol levels and reduce your risk for heart disease. Regular exercise will also help lower "bad" cholesterol and raise "good" cholesterol. Medications are often needed to reach cholesterol goals.
• Control high blood pressure. About 60 million people in the U.S. have hypertension, or high blood pressure, making it the most common heart disease risk factor. Nearly one in three adults has systolic blood pressure (the upper number) over 140, and/or diastolic blood pressure (the lower number) over 90, which is the definition of hypertension. Like cholesterol, blood pressure interpretation and treatment should be individualized, taking into account your entire risk profile. Control blood pressure through diet, exercise, weight management, and if needed, medications.
• Control diabetes. If not properly controlled, diabetes can contribute to significant heart damage, including heart attacks and death. Control diabetes through a healthy diet, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and taking medications as prescribed by your doctor.
• Get active. Many of us lead sedentary lives, exercising infrequently or not at all. People who don't exercise have higher rates of death and heart disease compared to people who perform even mild to moderate amounts of physical activity. Even leisure-time activities like gardening or walking can lower your risk of heart disease. Most people should exercise 30 minutes a day, at moderate intensity, on most days. More vigorous activities are associated with more benefits. Exercise should be aerobic, involving the large muscle groups. Aerobic activities include brisk walking, cycling, swimming, jumping rope, and jogging. If walking is your exercise of choice, use the pedometer goal of 10,000 steps a day. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
• Eat right . Eat a heart-healthy diet low in salt, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and refined sugars. Try to increase your intake of foods rich in vitamins and other nutrients, especially antioxidants, which have been proven to lower your risk for heart disease. Also eat plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, nuts, and whole grains.
• Achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts significant strain on your heart and worsens several other heart disease risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol and triglycerides. Research is showing that obesity itself increases heart disease risk. By eating right and exercising, you can lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.
• Manage stress. Poorly controlled stress and anger can lead to heart attacks and strokes. Use stress and anger management techniques to lower your risk. Learn to manage stress by practicing relaxation techniques, learning how to manage your time, setting realistic goals, and trying some new techniques such as guided imagery, massage, Tai Chi, or yoga.

CHELLY - MOMMY OF TWO TEENS =)) 

WHAT'S ON YOUR MENU FOR BREAKFAST?

 I start my mornings with PRAYER, then water and a few dashes of sea salt.  I drank 72 ounces of water, then eliminated via BM. (Sorry, but when your into health this is an amazing thing) then I had.........

Well, I'm all out of greens!  On this rare occasion that my refrigerator lacks chlorophyll I've decided to pull out my juicer.

I juiced carrots, pineapple and fresh ginger root.

I used an extracting juicer, my Champion.  The carrot juice foam taste like orange sherbert to me.

 I do have some green powder that I love.  It's Health Force SuperFoods Vitamineral Green Powder all organic and super potent.

I added one heaping tablespoon.  Also in the picture:  glass bowl with carrot pulp for bread or crackers later and the huge bag of carrots.

Here is the finished product.  Over the next 1.5 hours, I drank a little more than a quart of carrot, ginger, pineapple juice with green powder (it has a little bit of every superfood like chlorella, spirulina, nettles leaf, dulse, nori, dandelion, holy basil and enzymes - this is a very condensed list).   But it's amazing!

The juice was wonderful, delicious and super filling!

Drink juice:
      *on an empty stomach
                                                      *after your work out
                                                      *at least 30 minutes before a meal

Cinco de Mayo in the Raw Fiesta with Raw Chef Chelly

This is a lovely Spiced Raisin Walnut Banana Bread topped with almond butter, a drizzle of honey, cashew cream and sliced bananas.

This was my after birthday breakfast from my daughter!

It was delicious!

The base of the bread was made with Hard Winter Wheat Berries, bananas and honey. 

Raw Vegan Breads are delicious and a big help for all the Carb addicts in the world.  I was one of them!

EAT HEALTHY AND RAW FOR EASTER!

I Loved Lay's, but they've been replaced!!!

Spiracha Flavored Lay's
Have you tried them?  Ever wonder just how the flavor is made?  What chemical, scientist or factory created and perfected the science behind chip flavors?

Cheesy Garlic Bread Lay's
As if we don't have enough artificial dairy in our lives.  Aren't we maxed out on wheat, bread and gluten anyway?  I used to eat tons of garlic bread and chips, combined flavors is dangerous territory for me.

Chicken & Waffles Lay's 
*This one amuses me the most*
I'm not from the South, my people are.  I get the whole protein and carbohydrate tradition, but the tastes of the south packed into a potato chip? What is the goal here?  In order to participate in this contest and vote consumers need to purchase all three bags and try the chips.  How many bags do you think are being returned?  

Having flavored chips causes one to unconsciously feel as if they have had a meal!
How many people do you think will actually have a salad with Chicken & Waffle chips?

Deep Fried Potato Facts: 
1.  Acrylamide, a cancer causing, potentially neurotoxic chemical is created when carbohydrates are cooked at high temps
2.  Starch causes diabetes it is converted to blood sugar as quick as glucose
3.  Sugar sprinkled on fries and chips causes diabetes and it keeps you wanting more
4.  Salt sprinkled on fries and chips are high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke enhancers
5.  Frying detroys any nutrients, chips and fries are not nutritious at all, but that goes for breads, roasted breakfast cereals, processed snacks, coffee, toasted bread and bread crust.

Consider the source or scientist.  You have the choice of who and where to purchase your food.  You've only got one body, one life and one chance.  If you are compelled to try all that the stores have to offer at some point you may need all the pills and false remedies they offer as well.

Daughter's are amazing!

My daughter has such a kind soul and spirit! She is truly a blessing to me and I'm honored to be her mother. I appreciate the awesomeness of having the opportunity to guide her and mold her so she can effectively navigate the waters of life. She will make some mistakes along the way but my goal is to always provide a Space that is comfortable for us to connect where she can be heard. I'm her mother and I'm so proud of that!

Do you share a close connection with your daughter? Do you force your life's ambitions onto her? Do you envy your daughters life? Do you celebrate your daughter, encourage her and tell her how beautiful she is? Do you give your daughter opportunities to be around boys and men and teach her how to remain a lady of grace and etiquette? Are you training your daughter to feel like she does not need a real man, that being a liberated women is better?

Ponder these questions. I want a God fearing, virtuous, daughter after Gods own heart!~
