Need a doctor or a nutritionist? Now that is the question!


“If the doctors of today do not become the nutritionists of tomorrow, then the nutritionists of today will become the doctors of tomorrow.” ~ Rockefeller Institute of Medicine research

Love this quote!  We MUST pay attention to what we eat!   And I know of all the people, I'm talking to the choir.  You already know the importance of nutrition, but it doesn't hurt to brush up on the facts and encourage each other that all we do for our health is worth it!!  

So many of the problems people go to the doctor for can be cured with nutrition.  I was talking to a doctor recently who told me the #1 reason adults come to see her is due to lack of energy!  What's needed is more attention to nutrition, exercise, hydration, supplementation and sleep.  These are what I call the 5 pillars to health.

Eating real food isn't hard, but we just have to have a plan.  Without a plan we will do what everyone else does and drive through a fast food place and visit the vending machine at work.  Now that is NOT real food!

And if we become like "everyone else" then that puts us in the category of an obese nation that is on the road of not out living their own parents.  That's right.  For the first time in history, our children have a higher chance of dying before us!  How sad is that?!

This sobers me at the responsibility that I have to feed my kiddos good food!  My mom did a fantastic job of feeding us!  This had somewhat to do with the fact that we just ate at home-period!  We didn't have the luxury of eating out (thank God!), and my mom was a great cook!  She also studied nutrition and fed us well.  

The result?  My parents are some of the healthiest people, in their late 60's-early 70's, that I know!  Neither of them is on any medication!!   WOW!  That is a huge testament to healthy eating! 

Today's world has changed.  We are busy and junk food is so easy and cheap to grab.  We have to slow down and remember that our health demands the extra effort of home cooked meals and we are worth the time it takes to prepare a meal!  Make an effort to bring family dinners back to your home!  Not only will the long term health of your family benefit, but studies also show that kids who eat dinner with the family even just 3x/week are less likely to get involved in drugs!  So it helps the emotional well being of our families too to eat around a table together!

Today's world has also changed in that the quality of even real food has declined due to the nutrients in our soil having declined.  Supplementation is vital to your health!  You need a multi vitamin, omega 3s, vitamin D3, calcium and probiotics, just to name a few!  Shaklee's are the best.  Their Vitalizer strips are a great place to start, but even just beginning with their Vitalea (multi-vitamin) would be fantastic.  Order here!


Need a jump start towards eating real food again?  Join us this Saturday for an informational meeting about joining us for a 10 Day Detox Eating plan that we will all begin on July 5th.  The meeting though is this Saturday, June 23rd at 10:00 am at the Holiday Inn Express in Deer Park.  
Dedicated to your success!
