Baked isn’t always healthy:
Here’s how to tell

by Diana

Fact:

80 Percent of Americans Have No Idea Which Foods Contain Trans Fats

Read time: 2 minutes. As reported in NaturalNews, most people in the United States now know that they should avoid trans fats but few actually know which foods contain the dangerous ingredients.  Example: food companies selling things like potato chips and fried snack goods stop frying and slap "baked" on the label -- they take frying totally out of the equation.  Bingo -- their product becomes health food.  Right? Wrong! Consider the actual ingredients -- not just what may be added during the cooking process. Read on and I'll show you who to easily, quickly decide what a healthy snack looks like in the shopping isle.  Here's how to read the label AND know what to look for.

Does your child receive enough chlorophyll?

by Diana

"Consuming Chlorophyll is like receiving a healthy blood transfusion," says Dr. Ann Wigmore.

You probably think that I'm speaking some other language different than English to you or that I'm reading from my Biology 101 text book.  Guess what? I'm speaking English to you. Yes, chlorophyll.  Every parent should know about the amazing properties of chlorophyll. Given how many essential nutrients reside within it, chlorophyll is as important as sunlight. Why? For starters, did you know that the only differences between chlorophyll and our blood is a single atom? Ok, Diana, so big deal -- what does this mean about my child's health? It means our bodies can absorb and digest chlorophyll very easy. Therefore, consuming it this way is an EASY, SPEEDY path to getting vital nutrients into kids bodies.

A glass of milk or a glass of kale smoothie?

by Diana

Time to read: Less than a minute. What would you choose to offer to your child?  A glass of milk or a glass of kale smoothie?  Which has the most benefit... the  most digestible form calcium?  What if I told you milk wasn't "all that" and your kids can and will crave kale.  You'd probably call me crazy but I assure you milk can be dangerous, is NOT a good source of calcium (based on our body's inability to extract the calcium from the milk and it's low level to begin with!) and I can convince kids to crave kale smoothies. Kale is ranked as one of the world's healthiest foods. This powerful cancer-fighting agent is a member of the cabbage family and loaded with phytonutrients. But the health benefits don't stop there! Kale is often called the "king of calcium" and is loaded with vitamins A and C. Is it a better source of calcium than milk?  Hmmm...

Time to read: 3.5 minutes Does your child have at least one bowel movement per day? Do you struggle to help your child go potty more often? Believe it or not, it's VITALLY important -- yes, "going number two" is something that you must pay close attention to. Today I'll show you how to guarantee your child receives more nutrients without working so hard. Yup... as a result your healthy child will "go" (have a movement) AT LEAST once a day and likely more. Here's why "going" is so important -- AND how to do your part by incorporating "whole" (dark green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts) and superfoods into your child's daily diet.

It IS possible for kids to crave veggies!

by Diana

"My child doesn't eat veggies. My child stopped eating vegetables at 18 months. No matter what I do I can't get my child to eat his/her veggies."

Does this sound familiar to you? Do you hear yourself when you read these words? Do you battle with this every single day?  Does your child ever eat those very important dark green leafy vegetables? What if I told you I found the answer to these important questions?  Well, I have and I'm sharing them with everyone because I care about your family's health.  But my answer is only for those of you who are ready to step up and be bold.  In the end, our kids' poor eating habits are based mostly on our own. Can we break the bad and begin forming better habits?  Yes we can.  I'll guide you through the steps but you must be willing to make the change. Here we go....
