Today’s Healthy Dose – The Core of Your Being

Whatever you’re doing right now, suck it in. You heard me, pull in that core. Now hold it. Hold it. Hold it. Release. Excellent work!

Now, I will hypnotize you…. Imagine the sound of your cell phone in the distance. Your ring tone, your text ding, your email bong, your game trill. On the count of three, every time you here your cell phone you will pull in that core!

One, two, three. I was never here….

Today’s Healthy Dose – EFA’s

EFA’s, aka Essential Fatty Acids, play an important part in your overall health. In fact, they’re ESSENTIAL. And because they’re fatty acids, they’re most commonly found in, you guessed it, FATS.

Here’s a list of just a few of the things these little gems are responsible for…

  • Formation of healthy cell membranes
  • Proper functioning of the brain and nervous system
  • Proper thyroid and adrenal activity
  • Hormone production
  • Joint mobility
  • Regulation of blood pressure, liver function, immune system, inflammatory response and blood clotting
  • Transport and breakdown of cholesterol
  • Healthy hair, nails and skin

Pure olive oil, real butter, nuts, unfiltered coconut oil, seeds, grass fed animals fats, pure palm oil, wild caught fish, avocados, grapeseed oil–it’s all good.

Canola oil, soybean oil, butter wanna-be’s, corn oil, vegetable oil–not so much.

Today’s Healthy Dose – So…Where Were We?

That’s right. Whole, naturally raised foods-good 🙂 Processed, fabricated foods-bad 😦 If you follow my blog, you already know this. But how bad is bad? Try organ damaging, hormone disrupting, illness causing, immune system busting, bad.

Save yourself….get out while you can….

Today’s Healthy Dose – Double Whammy

Most processed foods will get you coming and going. Coming, they offer virtually no nutrition to support healthy cell function. Going, they assault the body with damaging toxins. No matter how you look at it, they’re really a lose-lose.
