The Boutenko Story

Since she had been so successful in business she probably had learned that in business you looked for successful business models.

Now she looked for successful models in health.

After talking to healthy people and finding out that they would not buy the processed foods, and some so very picky that they would only eat whole foods and produce, Virginia began to decide on her own plan of action.

She cleaned out her home of all processed factory foods, and would only choose whole raw foods for her entire family.

Can you imagine how her children felt when they came home and discovered what her mom did in only one day?

It wasn't easy, but, she wanted them to regain their health. She didn't want to lose any of them.

Don't mess with moms on a mission.

They all began to get healthier, and she also began to lose some weight. After a while she even wanted to progress further. She then learned that they weren't eating enough greens-which was a very important thing to do. But, most people just didn't eat enough greens. So, she learned to make what is called green smoothies. Green smoothies had fruit in it that masked some of the taste of the greens. It smoothies also broke the greens down so they could utilize the nutrition from the greens much easier.

After that they got even healthier. Yes, they still had some faulty genes-like the rest of us, but they became as healthy as possible.

So, what is the moral of this story?

The moral to this story is:

No this isn't a fairy tail -- The moral to this story is that no matter what type of genes we have, we can eat as healthy as possible so the expression of the genes is expressed in a good way and not in a bad way.

The condition and nourishment of our genes make a lot of difference in our lives. Some of us have the genes for obesity. Some of us have the genes for blood sugar problems. Some of us have the genes that can cause us to develop cancer or have heart disease.

What we eat, or our entire lifestyle can make us turn those genes off or on. Our foods are demonstrated with the expression of our genes.

In other words our lifestyle has even more of an effect on us than our gene pool.

It means we are able to write our own story with a 'And to Live Happily Ever After.

No matter where we are in the stream of our life, we can improve our nutrition and improve the expression of our own genes. It is our choice to be as healthy as possible---or not.

You can do your own research. You can find your own mentor or mentors. Just look at who is the healthiest full grown people you know and see what they do. Or read books written by people who have done the research and applied the wisdom already and are already living 'Happily Ever After.'.

And is it Expensive?

There is nothing on the face of this earth that isn't expensive.

But, nothing is as expensive as being truly sick, buying medicine, going for expensive treatments and losing days at work. Lots of time people lose their success while at work because they are working sick. Then, all this sickness leads to premature death. And the road going to that premature death is not fun either.

Find out the truth for yourself. Search it out, apply what you learn and become as healthy as possibly-- not only for yourself but also those you love.
