LESSON 1: THE DAILY DETOX

Detox is just that.  Doing some ‘house cleaning’ in your body and elminating the toxins accumlated from the day before.  One effective and easy way to do that is to make a Lemon Water Detox drink every single morning. You start with a mug of hot water and add half of a freshly squeezed lemon.  The lemon stimulates bile production in your gallbladder which helps to break down your food better for elimination.

Here is how to make your Daily Lemon Detox

As we age, the water content in your cells decrease making your cells sluggish. Drinking water on a regular basis is vital for not only proper cell function, but it hydrates your muscles helps to flush out your digestive system. It also helps to restore and maintain energy levels.

Your body is mostly made up of water...not lattes, milk, or even tea...WATER. Bottom line, this means that YOUR body needs water to function. 

Drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day. 

Yes, I hear you telling me your bladder is too small and you will be running to the restroom constantly. It. will. stretch. After you get used to it, your body will be back to a regular frequency 

One way to get enough water is to use a straw.  This just makes it so much easier to get water into your body.  

LESSON 2: ENERGIZING BREAK—FASTS

Wondering about what is the best breakfast to start your day, energize your body? Focus on REAL food. If it comes in a box and you found it in the interior of the grocery store, try to avoid it. 80% of your food per week should be lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds. Notice I said 80%.... excessively restrictive diets lead to major crashes.

Fuelling your body with nutrient dense protein based foods is a better way to increase your energy and reduce your sugar cravings.

Every vegetable that has been studied has been found to contain substances that benefit the heart and blood or counteract the formation of tumours.

Eat vegetables with every meal to nourish your wellbeing

Snacking and eating late are two factors that contribute to weight gain. Brushing your teeth right after dinner is one way to prevent late night indulgences.

LESSON 3: SHOP SMARTER

By the end of this lesson you will know how to be a smart grocery shopper by saving time and money buying only what you need.  You will know how to prepare healthy foods in advance for quick energy.  

When you are shopping, start with shopping the perimeter of the grocery store.  This is where you will find the healthy whole nutrient dense foods are. The isles are where most of the processed and packaged foods are stored.  Before you go shopping, be sure to go after you have had a meal.  That way you are not shopping hungry where you would be more susceptible to buy an impulse sugary processed food to satisfy your low glucose state.

On Sundays, after church and lunch, I sit down and quickly write out a meal meal for every one for the week.  I factor in everyone’s activities as there are times where one or two members of our family have lunch or dinner plans where I don’t have to include them in the meal. This typically takes only 5 minutes to write out.  Once I have a basic meal plan, then I will write the grocery list I need for the week. I typically buy groceries twice a week to keep things fresh.  

Come take a virtual tour through our fridge and learn how you can get fresh food to the table easier and quicker.

Do you ever want to snoop in someone's kitchen cupboards? Come on admit it. Of course you do. Well, here I will take you are a tour of ours and hope to show you how to have an organized pantry full of healthy foods.
