Sugar vs Whole Food Nutrition
I hear so much about how sugar is bad for our body. I can fall off the wagon though when it comes to some “sweets”. Laying here with a broken ankle has been quite a challenge. I’ve been blessed with friends bringing meals which my husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed. Sitting around trying to eat healthy was going great! That is until a friend brought over a small strawberry cake. I found myself enjoying it with a cup of decaf coffee- oh so good. But you know, that’s when my ankle started hurting more than it had been. Go figure! I wasn’t snacking on my fruits and veggies but on sugar. So there IS proof in the pudding! Whole food does heal the body.
I realize that we can’t control everything in our lives but we CAN control what we put in our body!
Just a little eye opener visual here, and then a helpful healthy alternative that can really be beneficial to your health!! 👏🏼
93 grams of sugar in a small shake- that is about 23 teaspoons of sugar in one drink! 😳🤔🤢
Try this healthier option and your hormones, blood sugar, adrenals, pancreas, liver – well, your entire body will thank you!!!!

Cardiovascular Health with Fruits and Vegetables
The power of whole food nutrition never ceases to amaze me. This country is so unhealthy and needs more fruits, vegetables and berries in capsules or chewables as part of their daily intake. Did you know that you need at least 7 to 13 servings a day! This also means a variety. Eating green beans three times a day does not count as three servings. It has to be a variety, preferably raw and needs to be vine-ripened. Can you eat this every day? Do you know anyone who actually does? By the way, have you noticed that when you purchase produce, that most of the time it is not ripened? That’s because it was harvested before it’s time which means that it has already lost over 75% of it’s nutritional value by the time you eat it.
If you would like to know more about flooding your body with the nutrients from 30+ vine-ripened fruits, vegetables and berries encapsulated in whole food capsules or chewables, send me a message and I’ll be happy to talk with you. It is the most thoroughly researched nutritional product on the market. Ask Siri, she’ll tell you. By the way, kids from 4 years of age through college eat FREE through the Healthy Starts for Families program.

Eat More Fruits and Vegetables
I thought that I would share this article. Isn’t it amazing how much money could be saved if we only ate more fruits and vegetables. Look at this study from Tufts University. You can read the information here.
Reflection
Over the past few days, I have been reflecting on all that I learned during our conference, and where I would be without someone sharing the power of whole food nutrition with me almost nine years ago. At the time, I didn’t realize that I was joining a community of people who not only helped me see how important real food is for my health, but educated me on how easily I could help my body heal by consuming an abundance of raw vine ripened fruits and veggies easily every single day. I am a testimony on the heart clinical study that was done on humans not labs. Their mission to inspire healthy living around the world made sense to me and I wanted to share it with everyone. As I think back and look at the pictures from this past weekend, I am so thankful that I said YES to lock arms with so many caring, passionate and loving people who share the same vision and are there to support each other. Lots of laughter and some tears were shed as I saw close friends celebrate some well deserved promotions. Getting promoted and pay raises for helping people feel good from the inside out and vice versa! The testimonies of families losing everything then reaching financial freedom! It doesn’t get any better than this. I am so proud to be a partner with this company. When Jay Martin, President and Founder, said that he wanted to build a stable and lasting company to help as many people as possible realize their dreams – he wasn’t kidding and it’s happening. I look forward to the next nine years plus+!
