WE DON’T HAVE A VITAMIN DEFICIENCY WE HAVE A FRUIT AND VEGETABLE DEFICIENCY. We need ALL of those thousands of ingredients in fruits and vegetables every day. An isolated supplement or multivitamin has maybe 20 ingredients. All of these ingredients create synergy which means they work together to prevent disease. The second image shows a list of 400 ingredients in an apple but scientists believe there are probably 10,000 or more ingredients yet to be discovered. They also contain thousands of phytonutrients – plant nutrients! These phytonutrients prevent cancer and other diseases. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress which causes aging and disease. Silent Spring researchers found that BPA and other toxins could be reduced significantly after just 3 days by eating whole foods! Fruits and vegetables are powerful not just because they detox us but because they contain ANTIOXIDANTS. Many of the health challenges and diseases that we are facing can be linked to these toxins. In our world today we are exposed to toxic chemicals that are putting our health at risk. Part of the reason we need to #takehealthyback isn’t something that we can easily control. This Healthy Living Revolution is about taking our health back, our families’ health back, our schools’ health back, our country’s health back. Healthy was a lifestyle that we lived and we can again. We had energy all day long and 70% of us weren’t on medications. Healthy was fresh vegetables from grandma’s garden. Healthy used to be SIMPLE! It wasn’t the latest superfood or the new diet craze. Is your health exactly where you want it to be? What if you could learn about tools to take your health back? That’s why I’m so excited to have found the Healthy Living Revolution and the tools it provides for 10-day jumpstarts and overall nutrition guidance. Stay tuned for my posts sharing my journey on this month’s shred.
It was a great variety of guests and an event that we plan to host monthly during the week prior to each new Shred10. Many people were looking for improved health and more energy. Juice Plus+ Chocolate Complete can be purchased here.Īfter enjoying dinner, we all went around the table introducing ourselves and sharing our health goals. Other popular dishes were a butternut squash dish baked with onions and tomatoes, a Mexican fruit salad ( recipe here), and Chocolate Complete Energy Balls. Sherry learned her recipe directly from the White House chef and it is delicious. If you haven’t tried making your own dressing yet, it’s very easy. Most store-bought dressings have added sugars, which we are avoiding during the Shred10. Sherry also made a homemade dressing of vinegar, olive oil, and honey. One of my favorite dishes was a mixed greens salad with a variety of toppings to choose from, including peas, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, white beans, tomatoes, walnuts, and radishes. Many children were in attendance as well, and they enjoyed snacking on the Juice Plus+ gummy chewables. Sherry had prepared a beautiful lemon-lime infused water, along with a decaf peppermint tea. As people gathered, we snacked on hummus with gluten-free crackers and asparagus, and grapes.
