HEALTH TIP



COLD HARD DAIRY MYTHS DECONSTRUCTED:

1. MILK BUILDS STRONG BONES - DRINKING MILK FROM OTHER ANIMALS THROWS OFF YOUR BODIES ACID ALKALINE BALANCE, MILK IS ACIDIC AND IN ORDER TO REGAIN THE PROPER CALCIUM/PHOSPHORUS BALANCE CALCIUM IS LEACHED FROM YOUR BONES.  THE COUNTRIES WHERE THE MOST DAIRY IS CONSUMED HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF HIP FRACTURES.

2. VITAMINS AND MINERALS ARE NOT DESTROYED DURING PASTEURIZATION- NOT ONLY ARE VITAMINS AND MINERALS DESTROYED, THE BACTERIAS, VIRUSES AND TOXINS ARE NOT COMPLETELY DESTROYED EITHER. 


3. DAIRY IS NEEDED FOR PROTEIN-A BABY COW NEEDS TONS OF PROTEIN TO GROW QUICKLY, WE GET 4 TIMES MORE PROTEIN FORM DAIRY PRODUCTS THAN IN HUMAN BREAST MILK.  BREAST MILK HAS JUST WHAT THE HUMAN BODY NEEDS.


4. OTHER SPECIES DRINK MILK FROM OTHER SPECIES- FALSE, HUMANS ARE THE ONLY SPECIES TO DRINK MILK FORM ANOTHER SPECIES OTHER THAN OUR OWN MOTHERS.


NOW ON TO THE HEALTH TIP:


Personal note: I stopped eating dairy almost 9 years ago in every way, shape and form.  No more gas, constipation or bloating.  No more stuffy nose in the morning, no more mucus or spitting when brushing my teeth, no more colds and no more ear infections.  Yippee for meee!

Goal:
1. Know where to find & eliminate Dairy!!
2. Learn to make your own Healthy Substitutions!!!

Dairy is hidden in the Three States of Matter:

1. Solid-cheese, crackers, bread, butter, cereal, chips, noodles, spreads, batters, snack bars, puddings, all desserts, all prepared foods
2. Liquid-Milk, coffee drinks, smoothies, yogurts, baby formulas, tea
3. Gas- your gas, your family members, your animals, "geez-o-peeks", say excuse me somebody! Dairy must be eliminated!

Now, where do you get your milk and cheese from? Keep reading.....

Here are some healthy substitutions:
1. Make nut or seed based "mylks."
2. Nut allergy? Try guacamole for cheese or sour cream.
3. Try nut based "cheeze."
4. Make nut or seed based yogurts.
5. Make nut based sweet or savory creams, spreads or sauces.

One of the first things I help my clients to learn to do is substitute unhealthy options with healthy ones.

A Raw Beegan Defined.......

I consider myself a raw beegan (honey) this means that over the last 5 years now I've consumed 95% raw fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, legumes, sprouted grains and grasses.

5% of my diet would include some nuts that are not raw and unprocessed, some maple syrup rarely, condiments like Tamari, Olive Oil, honey, Nutritional Yeast, Olives and Agave.

I have totally enjoyed and prospered on the raw beegan diet. My skin is radiant, my size is perfect, my energy surpasses my teenagers and I feel simple amazing every day!

Simply warming vegetables for two minutes is a great way to eat your vegetables as close to raw as possible.

READ WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING.......

Hi Chelly!

I took your advice and cut caffeine out of my diet.  That was my last Starbucks.  Its 1 week and I feel like I took 10 years off.  I feel like I have been drinking poison for 20 years.  I feel better than ever without it.  It took a few days of struggle but now I feel like I will never go back.  I have more energy than ever.  J

Thanks!

Lou

MARCH ON WITH HEALTH & WELLNESS

CAFE GRATITUDE, LOS ANGELES

When I travel I always find Whole Foods and Raw Food restaurants in the area. My plan was to hop off the plane, get the rental and go to Cafe Gratitude and stuff my face. After only green drink, fruit and water on the plane for over 4 hours I was ready to eat.

One of my favorite raw food restaurants in the land! This was a Key Lime Pie with Ice cream and caramel sauce. I always enjoy being served raw food, especially raw desserts. I also ordered a Kale Salad and their Mediterranean Plate.



After leaving the restaurant, I headed straight for the Hollywood sign, no GPS needed. Low and behold, after driving through a beautiful neighborhood I ended up at Sunset Ranch in Griffith Park. There were mountains and hiking trails and of course the Hollywood sign. I could not believe it, I had made it! Sunset Ranch offered horseback riding and that was added to our schedule for the following day. We hiked up one mountain and that is where this picture was taken with the Hollywood sign. My travel buddy had never been horseback riding before but she never second guessed her involvement.

This breakfast burrito or crepe was just okay, it photographed well. I have eaten all raw for over 4 years, I know good raw food. The crepe was too thin, like a thin flax chip. The coconut yogurt was sour and bad tasting. The huge chunks of apples inside took away from the delicate nature that a crepe should have. I could totally make this 100% better. Crepes should be soft and gooey. I also had their "oatmeal" (pecans and apples chopped very small in coconut or almond milk, basically a bowl of nuts, not good either. Needless to say, my breakfast on day 2 at Cafe Gratitude was not very satisfying. Food must be beautiful and taste amazing!

In case you did not know, I love horses and riding! The horse is Tracer, with a white diamond just like I like them. I rode up and down the mountain cliffs of Griffith Park. The scenery was amazing! The valley's, mountains, birds, dog, our tour guides and the other tourist made this part of my vacation marvelous! While horseback riding, I actually met a lady and her daughter from my home town of Detroit, Michigan, that was amazing! I could do without the helmet but I followed orders.

Santa Monica Beach is absolutely beautiful, the water however was freezing! So, just toe time for me. I always collect at least one shell from the beaches I have the opportunity to visit. I found some amazing pieces.

Topanga & Will Rogers Beach Area in Malibu, CA

What a lovely beach. I even video taped the bugs, ugh! I drove along the coast about 9 miles into Malibu!

I thought I'd share a little about my vacation and opportunity to speak in front of 5000! I was honored to have been apart of the World's largest nutrition schools Mega Conference in Long Beach, CA over the weekend.

Here is what I learned about myself: I pack to much, it makes my trip more work than it has to be, I definitely had plenty of choices wardrobe wise but in the end it didn't matter because I could not see them all at once, my suitcase was so packed. My travel buddy brought 2 carry ons for a 5 day trip.

I bought a ton of raw vegan food, for my research of course! I did not eat it all at once, but as a raw vegan chef it's important for me to taste and see what others are doing in their raw food kitchens. I visited 5 different raw vegan restaurants in LA.

I really want to move to a warmer climate. I'm not the 4 seasons type anymore. I'm craving year round farmers markets and warm weather something awful.

Hubby update: He successfully juiced for 30 days. He is now back to eating a regular diet and about 75% raw or vegan.

One of my greatest missions in life is to help as many people as possible achieve their mental, physical and emotional health goals. I would love to work with you and for you to share my message with anyone you know.

Let's take the steps together so that you can experience life at it's fullest.
