Did you know that the vibrant colors in fruits and vegetables often indicate the presence of essential nutrients and antioxidants? 🍓🥬 By including a variety of colorful foods in your diet, you can ensure you're getting a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients to support your overall health and well-being.

🟠 Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and oranges are rich in beta-carotene, which supports eye health and boosts your immune system.

🟢 Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli are packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and fiber, promoting heart health and aiding digestion.

🔵 Blue and purple fruits and vegetables like blueberries, eggplant, and purple cabbage contain powerful antioxidants called anthocyanins, which help reduce inflammation and support brain health.

🟡 Brightly colored peppers, tomatoes, and squash are excellent sources of vitamin C, which strengthens your immune system and promotes healthy skin.

Next time you're planning your meals, think about adding a splash of color to your plate! 🌈 Mix and match different fruits and vegetables to create visually appealing and nutrient-rich dishes that will nourish your body from the inside out. Remember, eating the rainbow is not only delicious but also a key component of a balanced and healthy diet!

Hi everyone

Just wanted to say thank you for liking and following us. Today I wanted to cover one of my favorite supplements. It is superfood green powder. I take this in the morning mixed with apple sauce. I do this for a few reasons.
1. It is a powder of many vegetables and a few fruits. I get multiple servings of veggies without having to purchase dozens of different vegetables.
2. Many of the veggies used would be out of season so this makes it less expensive to get those vegetables.
3. Nutrients-our soil has become depleted in many areas and this helps ensure I’m getting the nutrients I need to stay healthy.

Take care

I wanted to share my thoughts on exercise for weight loss. I feel that resistance training (machines, free weights or even bands) are superior for weight loss than traditional cardio. There are many studies to back this up, but the bottom line is this. Without getting too nerdy with my explanation.

When you exercise a muscle to failure you are depleting that muscle of glycogen. When you do that...your body will utilize insulin more efficiently and decrease insulin resistance. Second, weight training burns more calories than cardio. Third, adding muscle increases basal metabolic rate (how many calories you burn at rest). And finally, weight training increases metabolism for longer, after the training session, than cardio does.

That said cardio is great for your heart and has other health benefits but for weight loss you can not beat resistance training. If you find these posts helpful, please like our page and invite others.

If you need help with weight loss we are here to help.

Why do I recommend elimination of gluten?

Answer:
1. Many people or either allergic to it and/or sensitive to it.
2. Even if you are not sensitive or allergic to it, it is still causes inflammation in your body that can lead to many other issues down the down.
3. It is been linked to either directly or indirectly causing autoimmunity.

I get asked quite frequently about my diet so here it is:

Breakfast
organic apple sauce mixed with bee pollen, chia seed, green vegetable powder and cinnamon.

On my weight training days I will lift at this time usually mid morning. And after training I eat eggs in some capacity (sandwich, hard boiled, scrambled)

Lunch
Oatmeal, protein powder, dark pitted cherries

Dinner varies is the only meal that will vary. Otherwise I eat almost the same things daily but always try to have another serving of greens with whatever dinner

Snack
Usually yogurt without sugar added

Are there days I vary and eat things I shouldn’t eat? Of course, but consistently eating a clean meal structure is how you achieve health, energy and it does control your weight

Bread for the most part is sourdough if I eat bread at all.

Eating a diet that is low in nutritional value, high in calories, highly processed is epidemic in this country. This also explains many of the chronic diseases that folks are suffering with.
