Watermelon Time

Summer is here, so you know what that means, watermelon, I can't live without it. So, I go to my nearest
Wholefoods to get some yummy melon. When picking
one, you look for one that has a yellow spot, then you know it's
good.

Try Something New

Summer is finally in full force, and the living is easy! Do you notice in summertime how everything seems promising? The plants are in full bloom and the sun feels glorious on your skin. The longer days give you boundless energy, making you feel like it's possible to achieve all your desires and dreams. Why not harness this energy, ride the wave of summer and try something new?

Throughout the year we live at an intense pace (physical, emotional and mental), and we often get stuck in routine, either for the sake of efficiency or out of fear of unfamiliar territory. The lack of variety in doing the same things over and over stagnates not only our minds, but also our bodies and hearts. Are you hesitant to break your routine? Fear and excitement have the same physiological expression in our bodies; it is our mind that classifies the feeling as either positive or negative. So the next time you consider a change in routine and your mind says "scary!" see if you can re- frame it as "exciting!"

What is something you have never done before or that you have wanted to do for a long time? Choose your own adventure: organize a kayak trip, take a dance class, do some exotic traveling or set a goal for a new personal challenge. Or try something simple, like playing flashlight tag with your kids and neighbors or reading in the sunshine. Maybe it's time to discover a new vegetable dish or to visit a new town, restaurant or beach.

Whatever adventure calls to you, use this summer to make it happen and enjoy your life. Increasing new experiences and excitement in your life can decrease your dependence
on artificial stimulants like caffeine and sugar, leading to more vibrant health. Watch out for massive improvements in physical well-being, mental acuity and motivation, plus a full portfolio of fun.

Happy July 4th!!

Happy 4th to ya! Enjoy the fireworks with a delicious smoothie!

I'm off to Orlando, Fl enjoy your summer vacations to the fullest and remember to pack your Vitamix and healthy snacks, like organic raw granola, bars, trail mixes, fruit and vegetables like avocado, carrots, and cucumbers. I make green drinks and smoothies in the hotel room! It's a great way to keep it sexy, cool, cost effective and healthy all the time, no matter where you are.
Tips:

1. Eat lots of alkalinizing watermelon for the water and the nutrients!
2. Juice your vegetables this summer, go over board let's increase those nutrients and decrease the rates of cancer, diabetes, high cholesterol and digestive track disorders. 3. Increase your energy without the Coffee have fresh squeezed fruit juice instead.

Need help with these steps call me for a health break through consultation and learn the steps to becoming a more conscious consumer.

Snack Attack

How's your "snack life"?

Hi All!! Thank you for your support! I have a question. Are you being real with yourself? Can you honestly say you are not stressed, fatigued, sick, nutrient deficient, constipated and/or overweight?

I will be the first to admit, that was me 7 years ago. Since then, I've lost 47 pounds, 7 dress sizes, 1 shoe size, wake up breathing clearly, manage stress appropriately and I never get sick!

ARE YOU A SNACKER?

There’s no denying that everyone, at one time or another, has had a snack attack. Views on snacking differ. Some feel that snacking is bad and that eating between meals leads to weight gain. Others believe that eating many small meals and snacks throughout the day is healthy for maintaining energy levels and optimal weight. If there were one way of snacking that was right for everyone, we would all be doing it!

To alleviate snack attack guilt, try to understand why you are snacking and what snacks work best for your body. Perhaps you snack because your daily diet is missing nutrition, or because you are eating too little at meals. You might be snacking to soothe jangled nerves when you are emotional, or to entertain yourself when you are bored. Whatever your reason, acknowledge it and start thinking about how to create a life that is nourishing and truly satisfying. Although snacks are no substitute for loving your life, they can be great energy boosters. Many convenient snack foods are highly processed and full of chemicals, additives, damaging fats and refined sugars. When a snack attack hits you, try foods that are filling and satisfying, but also nutritious. Here are some tips:

· Snack on things that don’t come in a plastic wrapper or a box, like fresh fruit, vegetables or fruit with cashew or almond butter.

· Make your own signature trail mix, a delicious smoothie or vegetable juice, try guacamole dip and vegetables.

You can also try “upgrading”:

· If you are craving something crunchy, upgrade from potato chips to raw carrots, apples or firm grapes.

· If you are craving a candy bar, upgrade to a handful of nuts and dried fruit.

· Instead of a cup of coffee, upgrade to green tea.

· Instead of ice cream, upgrade to applesauce with cinnamon made in the Vitamix.

Upgraded snacks are high in nutrition and give you a greater sense of satiety and satisfaction; you won’t feel physically or psychologically deprived, and you’ll have plenty of energy to sustain your activities for hours. Snacking is enjoyable and there is a wide variety of healthful goodies for whatever you’re craving, be it sweet, crunchy, salty, creamy or spicy. Dive in, be creative and enjoy your snack attack. Learn more about why you crave what you crave by scheduling a Health Breakthrough Consultation with me.

Healthy Tip: Fruit

A healthy lifestyle is the key to longevity, optimum weight, abundant energy and balance. By using fruit to satisfy our taste for sweetness, we can leave behind the use of chemical, processed and refined sweeteners. Fruits are easy to digest, are cleansing and cooling and are great for those who are overstressed and overheated from excessive mental strain or hot climates. Fruits are filled with fiber and liver stimulants, which act as natural, gentle laxatives. Whenever possible, buy fresh, locally grown fruit as opposed to imported fruits shipped fromfar-off places. This keeps you eating in season, and more in harmony with your environment and climate.

Eating raw fruit in summer months is highly cooling, while baking it in the winter months neutralizes the cooling effect. Fruit in the form of juice is a great choice for cleansing the body, but be aware that juice made in extracting juicers (removing pulp) rapidly raises blood sugar levels, leading to an energy crash soon after. Frozen, whole, puréed or juiced fruit made in a Vitamix with ALL of the FIBER helps maintain normal blood sugar and can make great summertime cool-down treats. Try frozen grapes, banana-coconut smoothie popsicles or lime juice ice-cubes in iced tea! Whether you are having fresh fruit for a light early morning breakfast, a midday snack or evening treat, enjoy nature's sweetness and whenever possible buy organic. Here are a few summer fruits and their health benefits:

Apricots: Great for lung conditions and asthma; used to help treat anemia due to their high copper and cobalt content.

Bananas: Help to lubricate the intestines, treat ulcers, detoxify the body and manage sugar cravings; are rich in potassium (which helps hypertension).

Cherries: Slightly warming in nature; increase overall body energy, remedy arthritis and rheumatism and are rich in iron, which improves the blood.

Grapefruits: Treat poor digestion, increase appetite during pregnancy, alleviate intestinal gas and reduce

mucus conditions of the lungs.

Papayas: Tone the stomach, act as digestive aid, moisten the lungs and alleviate coughing; contain carpaine, an anti-tumor compound.

Raspberries: Benefit the liver and kidneys, cleanse blood of toxins, regulate menstrual cycles, treat anemia and can promote labor at childbirth.

BRIGHTER DAYS

HI EVERYONE!!

Take a moment and think about the people who are suffering. Everything may be going okay for you, but there are many people who are suffering with the economy, accidental injuries, poor health and relationship woes.

I pray for those who are hurting and who don't know which side is up right now. Life is a process and sometimes it can make a world of difference just saying a prayer for, "All those in need of prayer, who can not pray for themselves".

Make your life a happy and healthy one despite your circumstances, hardships shall pass.

As we near summer, cookouts, parties, family gatherings be careful, mindful and remain a conscious consumer. Remember just because we can buy everything does not mean we should consume all things.

We vote on our foods quality standards daily with our fork. You can make anything taste good. Pay attention to what you eat, whose preparing it and where it's coming from!

The hardest thing for me is to see old friends and family members aging rapidly, suffering from sickness and disease and deteriorating rapidly.

The old saying, "you are what you eat", is true. It does not mean if you have a burger, you are a burger. It does however mean you become the energy and life of that burger, which unfortunately is death!

Years and years of consuming the same foods eventually take their toll on your health. I want to grow old gracefully, shocking people as I do now when I tell them my age. I want to have fun now and 50 years from now. What goals do you have for yourself?

If you are having trouble with your personal goals, I can help you to get "unstuck".

Set up a Health Consultation with me.

Let's talk and rebuild your road to health and happiness.
