How to Get Healthy

My health is a work in progress. I'm tired of being fat and tired. I'm tired of not having energy. My wake up call is screaming in my ears. Diabetes, spastic colon, asthma, and excema top the list of my health problems. I've spent countless hours sorting through health information trying to discover the best way and most efficient way to get healthy and stay that way.

This lens is also a work in progress. As I discover new and important information, I will add it to the lens.

I will start by stating my philosophy (living up to my own beliefs is the hard part). I believe we should eat food God made and intended for us to put in our bodies. If man made it or altered it, then we should avoid it. Real food and clean water is what we need to live, thrive, and survive. This is not easy considering today's lifestyles and the multitudes of altered foods on the grocery store shelves.

I am not a health nut. I love pizza and ice cream and most definitely chocolate, however, I am tired of doctor bills and downing pills to cover up symptoms. I am vowing to take charge of my own health and my own life. Join me in becoming healthy, fit, and happy. Let the sunshine in!

What's for Breakfast?

Combine one food from each of the categories for a healthy breakfast:

PROTEIN

quinoa
eggs (boiled or scrambled, never fried)

Using Supplements

Dr. Diana Schwarzbein, author of "The Schwarzbein Principle" discusses using quality supplements.

Wheatgrass

The benefits of wheatgrass are numerous. I first heard about wheatgrass when I was hanging out at a local juicing store. I was waiting for my juice when I noticed a book on wheatgrass. I flipped through it was surprised at the numerous benefits. I decided to give it a try. A shot of wheatgrass a day will help your health and vitality. It tastes like...grass. Very green grass. I always chase it with a sip of juice or smoothie. It's not bad...honestly.

Wheatgrass Resources

The Benefits of Wheatgrass: Read about the extensive health benefits of wheatgrass. It's caled the "sunshine food" for a reason. Wheatgrass contains 70% chlorophyll. It's a green food for life.

Digestive System Cocktail

A Recipe for Good Health

RECIPE from The Information Lady

8 oz of V-8 Acai Berry juice
1 tablespoon of flax oil
1 tablespoon of aloe vera juice
2 teaspoons of tasteless fiber

Mix, drink, enjoy! You really can't taste the "extras", however, the flax oil will make it look "oily".

Quinoa

The New Super Food

Imagine a perfect plant food. Quinoa is considered the "Mother Grain". It's low-glycemic index, high fiber, gluten free, and high protein makes it a wonderful food for everyone -including diabetics. Quinoa is versatile and tasty. You can eat it like oatmeal or rice. You can purchase a quinoa pasta or cereal. There lots of recipes to use with quinoa available.

Buy Quinoa Now: Purchase the ancient harvest grain. Give it a try. Replace oatmeal (oats are for horses) and rice (high in carbs) with quinoa. Try it with a dash of low-fat milk, cut strawberries and bananas for a filling breakfast.
