The Present Moment Cafe & Market, St. Augustine, Florida

This raw restaurant was fantastic! I ate dessert first! It was a delicious raw Chocolate Sundae with huge chunks of brownies and candied pecans and walnuts. I devoured it in 10-15 minutes, I drove 1 1/2 hours to reach this restaurant after a 4 hour plane ride, including a layover. I was hungry, hot, and exhausted and the Sundae hit the spot.

I also ordered a Kale salad, and a Vegetable packed Collard Wrap! Everything was so refreshing and it was a true blessing to visit this raw restaurant down south.

Being Authentic In August

Authentic Defined: based on fact, accurate, reliable, made or done in a traditional or original way; of undisputed origin; genuine.

Healthy
In order to be Healthy you must go back to the original or traditional way of eating and living. Make it simple, did you know that when eating a meal you should keep the ingredients under 5. Eating 5 or less will help to aid digestion for better absorption. Example: Eat a large green salad, but add only 4 other vegetables.

Energy
In order to have Energy throughout your day eat based on the facts. Meat, dairy, sugar, chemically treated and artificially processed foods wear your body out. The digestive system weakens and pulls resources from other vital organs, causing fatigue, mood changes and brain fog. When fasting or eating fruits and vegetables in their natural state you feel light, energetic and your mind is clear.

Crazy, Sexy, Cool
To be Crazy is easy, just don't be so serious all the time! Laugh and enjoy life even through the rough times! As we age, especially as women, we get quiet about our age. I say tell your age and add the word "Sexy"! I'm 36 and Sexy! See that sounds amazing! The word Cool comes at a price. What happens if your acting really cool, but you trip in front of a group of people? We must be able to go back to being crazy and laugh at ourselves. It's fabulous therapy.

I want to challenge you to make a decision regarding your health today. If you need help ask for it, I'm here for you. If you know what you need to do, do it and don't stand in your own way. If your family members need help, forward this Newsletter to them. We are all suffering from some ailment either large or small. I would like you to know that whatever it is, it does not have to be apart of your life forever. There is hope, but a brighter tomorrow requires a change starting today. Being Authentic requires traditional knowledge about health and wellness.

"The fact that we see what is past, as old, and what is new, as gold, will not help us in the end, when our stories have been told." Chelly

Is Burned BBQ healthy for you?

BBQ & THE CANCER CONNECTION

I have not had any animal product off the grill in over 6 years, but the smells of summer are sweet. Who does not enjoy a BBQ and the delicious food enjoyed out doors?

I am a Raw Vegan but not the type that can not admit to how delicious the food was. Here is a question I've been pondering lately. Why do we eat cooked, warm, hot and spicy food in the summer, shouldn't we eat foods that cool, only? Of course we should! We don't however because it has been our TRADITION. We eat the food that is cooked outside instead of eating the food that grows outside in it's natural state, raw.

If you are eating your meals hot of the grill here are some health facts to consider:

-Take a High Dose of Vitamin C before eating BBQ or eat a salad with tons of lemon juice.
-Don't over cook your meats, BURNED-MARKED meat contains gene-mutating heterocyclic amines.
**Heterocyclic amines cause massive damage to your genes and have been linked to prostate, breast, colorectal, esophageal, lung, liver and other cancers.**
-A womens study in 1998 found that women who eat well cooked beef steak, hamburgers and bacon are at a 50% greater risk of Breast Cancer.
-Rare is just as dangerous, meat may contain E.coli causing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or sudden short-term kidney failure.
-Deep fried foods are just as dangerous and not the healthiest option.

REMEMBER:

DECREASE YOUR QUANTITY AND INCREASE THE QUALITY.

There is so much to learn about our diets and lifestyle. Invest in your health and live your best days starting today!

Call me to schedule a Free Health Consultation, just 50 minutes could change your life. When is the last time your doctor asked you about your diet and lifestyle and gave you his or her undivided attention?

Summer in the Raw

TRY SUMMER IN THE RAW

Summer is just around the corner and I'd like to challenge everyone to eat more cooling foods, Fruits! Fruit cools your body, helping you stay "cool" as the temperatures begin to rise. If you experience non-life threatening allergic reactions from fruit pay close attention. Fruit cleanses your body and is trying to remove toxins. Try a fruit cleanse for 3 days or less. Drink plenty of water as well.

Summer is also a great time to practice incorporating more Dark Leafy Greens. Salads don't have to be boring. Use Romaine, Spinach, cut these small: Collards, Kale, and Chard. Fresh herbs will make your salad a hit. Try using Basil, Oregano, Cilantro, Dill and Parsley. Salads don't fill you up? Chop up a ton of vegetables like carrots, celery, olives, avocado, cucumber, tomato, radish, zucchini, squash, and grated sweet potato they are sure to fill you up. You don't like salad? Neither does my husband! Make a Salad in Disguise! A Salad in Disguise or a Salad Cover Up is a Super Healthy Salad Dressing. Store bought salad dressings contain dairy, preservatives, multiple oils, artificial sweeteners, artificial chemicals and loads of sodium. Make a simple salad dressing, pour and mix your salad in the healthy salad dressing and eat until you are full! You will taste the dressing not the salad! Now everyone will enjoy salad! My husband does! Here is a simple recipe: Equal parts Olive oil, Braggs Liquid Aminos & Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 Tbsp dried herbs.

Summer Meal Plan
Breakfast: Water, Green Drink, Fruit Bowl or check my No Bonez site for a heavier meal like Raw Oat Meal, or Oat Groats.

Lunch: Make this meal your main meal for the day. Start off with a delicious Fresh Fruit Juice, Vegetable Juice or Smoothie. Have your huge salad.

Dinner: Make a delicious Fruit Bowl and eat until satisfied! Enjoy a fresh vegetable juice or fruit juice.

**To learn more about how to really make a meal plan like this work, call me to schedule a FREE Health History Consultation. Just 50 minutes over the phone can change your life. Learn what really is going on with your diet and lifestyle. One small change could save your life, increase energy, stamina and vitality.

Tooth Soap, Buy one get one for free!

I have experienced amazing results using Tooth Soap. Just click on the picture below. Use the coupon code "FREE" when placing your order and get 2 bottles for the cost of one!

Tooth Soap allows your teeth to rebuild and renew. Regular and "healthy" tooth paste contains glycerin and SLS (sodium laurel sulfate). Glycerin puts a coating on your teeth preventing them from re-enamelization.

You can also purchase the Tooth Brightener as well. A little goes a long way and these products last over 6 months.

Email me if you have questions at coachchelly4u@aol.com
