5. Have one treat a day - that's why it is called a treat!<br />
6. Have
kids rate candy for nutritional value or NOT and group them for best
choice to worst (think about additives, MSG, coloring)<br />
7. Eat an equal amount of fruit to candy.<br />
8. Think about donating candy to encourage 'out-of-me' focus.<br />
9. Make treats at home full of healthy fats (coconut oil) and healthy sugars (Coconut Sugar)<br />
10. Walk or run the block tonight - rain or shine it's an opportunity to exercise.<br />
<br />
Happy Hallowe'en - have FUN!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The best way to promote longevity and lead a long, happy,
and healthy life is simple - It starts with a good balance of good-for-you
foods and a moderate daily exercise to reach a healthy lifestyle. Raw,
unrefined and minimally processed foods are the best kinds of foods to eat as
they jam in plenty of heart healthy and longevity increasing goodies. Make a
start by cutting out foods that contain unhealthy substances as bad
cholesterol, added bad sugars, trans fats and saturated fats. Its really as
easy as swapping out that unhealthy, bleached and highly processed flour for a
more nutrient dense flour such as oat or coconut flour that’s super high in
nutrients and fiber in your yummy baked goods instead… your kids won’t know the
difference! Superfoods, are becoming more and more popular, and for great
reason too! Superfoods are nutritionally dense foods that are high in fiber,
are minimally processed, unrefined and have shown to have many health benefits.
Lets have a look at a number of superfoods that can be easily found today and
after plenty of research, have been shown to be beneficial to our bodies in
many ways, including promoting longevity on both the inside and out:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Brilliant berries:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Berries are famous for their large antioxidant content which
is vital in assisting our bodies in fighting off harmful free radicals, and also
to protect our cells from any damage, whether it be from the environment around
us, or the type of lifestyle we may lead in todays busy world. Goji berries
contain a whopping 500x more of the free radical fighting antioxidant Vitamin C
alone, compared to that of an orange along with an abundance of other important
antioxidants and healthy nutrients needed for a long healthy life. They have
been called the longevity fruit and for good reason too! They are very rich in
carotenoids such as beta-carotene and zeaxanthin which helps to protect our
eyes retinas by absorbing blue light and acts as an important antioxidant that
prevents cell damage in the eyes which could in turn lead to development of age
related macular degeneration which is the leading cause of vision impairment in
people over the age of 65<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span>[i]</span></span></span></span></a>. Free
radicals cause gradual cell damage that responsible for visible aging and can
also boost development of some genetic and age related diseases such as cancer
or dementia. Goji berries also contain a large amount of polysaccharides which
causes the body to produce more human growth hormone (HGH) from the pituitary
gland which can help slow down the aging process. Goji Berries are very beneficial
in cardiovascular health and our circulatory system, due to their super
cholesterol lowering properties, which helps to keep your heart in tip-top
shape and your blood balanced - two very important aspects of a healthy human
body.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Radically raw plant foods:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Raw fruits, vegetables and seeds such as hemp and chia are
all part of a balanced diet with their large, naturally occurring amount of
nutrients and minerals. They contain fabulous anti-cancer phytochemicals
(naturally occurring plant chemicals), which provide stress damage resistance
to the cells in our body and therefore help to prevent development of aging,
and certain stress or age related diseases<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span>[ii]</span></span></span></span></a>.
Essential fatty acids and high antioxidant levels found in seeds such as hemp
and chia, help to boost cardiovascular health by lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol
levels, maintaining the health of your skin, hair and nails and therefore
protecting them from signs of aging, helping to boost visual acuity, decrease
the risk of developing Dementia and Alzheimers disease, along with protecting
the brain from aging effects, helping to maintain alertness and mental health. Raw
plant foods also contain anti-inflammatory properties, which have been
associated in helping to reduce inflammation in related health issues such as
arthritis, which can provide some comfort and relief to associated pain to
those certain affected areas.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Great grains:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>A unique polyphenol called
Avenathramides can be found in oats and has the ability to keep the arteries
clear and free of any plaque build up. This same compound lowers the
pro-inflammatory cytokines that can cause inflammation in the body, that is
associated with certain health issues such as Parkinsons disease, Alzhiemers
and cancer. Beta-glucan is another substance found in oats, which help to boost
our immune system, which is very beneficial in the elderly to keep their
resistance strong to certain diseases and illness.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span>[iii]</span></span></span></span></a>
Quinoa is another ancient grain jam-packed with longevity loving goodness. It
contains high levels of magnesium, which help to relax your muscles and blood
vessels that affects blood pressure and is crucial for cardiovascular health.
Manganese and Copper act as antioxidants in your body to get rid of disease
causing substances which may be effective in treating conditions artherosclerosis,
breast cancer, diabetes and insulin resistance helping to prolong a long,
healthy life.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>RAWsome Cacao (raw chocolate):</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Unlike
commercially processed and refined chocolate bars, antioxidants are preserved
in raw cacao and score a huge</span><span> 62,000 on the ORAC scale</span><span>. By keeping cacao in its raw
state, it results in a much higher level antioxidants that are not lost during
intense processing methods that can dissolve plaque built up on artery walls,
keeping them clear and are therefore less likely to negatively affect your
hearts health.</span><span> Raw cacao, being one of the richest
natural sources of antioxidants has twice as much as red wine and three times
the amount of green tea! These antioxidants, along with anandamides (neurotransmitters)
help to increase cardiovascular health by improving blood vessel dilation,
blood pressure and also lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels which are all
essential in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, one of the leading
causes of death in North America. A feel good stress defense shield called
serotonin</span><span> </span><span>helps
us to have a good nights sleep and also protects us from stress related
diseases as we age. In addition to all of these essential disease fighting
substances, there are phytochemicals found in cacao that reveal it may be the
most chemically complex food on earth when consumed in raw form and in every
human diet to promote well-being and longevity<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span>[iv]</span></span></span></span></a>.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Facts about fibre</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Many people know that more fibre is needed in their daily diets and some of us don’t quite consume enough. Consuming more fibre can help in many different ways. Some people may need it to lower cholesterol or blood sugar, or simply to help with regular bowel movements.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to a panel of Canadian and US scientists, the daily intake of fibre for women aged 50 and under is 25g, and for men its 38g. Women over 50 require 21g and men require 30g. This isn’t because as you get older, you need <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">less,</i> it’s because as you age your body doesn’t need as many calories.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, many of us in North America only consume 50% of the recommended daily intake. So why is it so important for us to get the <u>full</u> recommended daily intake and why is this so detrimental for our health and well being? The issue is that by not consuming atleast the recommended daily intake of fibre, we could be putting ourselves at a bigger risk of some major health issues, ones that are bigger than irregular bowel movements.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before society was introduced into todays processed fake fibres lots of different whole foods contained a whole whack of healthy mixed fibres – whole grains, beans, fruits and veggies. Sadly today, companies are adding in isolated (bad) fibres in powder form to foods that should not even contain ANY fibre at all. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The simple question still remains ‘but why?', no one knows. Lets look at how fibre can help you avoid some major health issues;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heart Disease</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Data and previous studies have shown a link that fibre prevents cardiovascular disease. It has been found in a past study that there was a lower risk of heart disease in people that reported eating the most fibre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These studies also showed that the foods that helped protect the cardiovascular system the most were grains, and the fibre found in them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One thing that scientists however are uncertain of, is if the fibre protecting our hearts is soluble or insoluble fibre. This is due to fibres link with cholesterol – soluble fibres seem to reduce cholesterol, where as insoluble fibres do not. The best way to protect your heart and keep you pumping is to eat a balanced mix of whole grains, fruits and vegetables to keep you covered, instead of processed fibres such as those added into yogurts and frozen deserts etc. This way your keeping the full fibre package in your diet.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diabetes</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once again, evidence has shown that fibre is also linked to another huge health issue today, diabetes. Just like heart disease, incorporating fibre from whole foods in your diet such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables is linked to a lower risk of diabetes.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Results from 2 studies – one on 65,000 women, and another on 43,000 men, showed that those who reported eating the most fibre from grains (approx. 8g) showed a huge 30% less risk than those consuming the least amount (approx.. 3g). Scientists believe that it’s the gummy-like soluble fibres in oats and barley tend to keep blood sugar levels under control. This could potentially be because of the idea that fibre slows down absorption of carbohydrates in foods, so blood sugar levels do not peak.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Colon Cancer</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since the 80’s as time and technology have progressed, the idea that fibre can prevent colon cancer is still somewhat inconclusive. Over 3 years, 700 people were told to eat 13.5g of wheat bran and another 700 were told to eat only 2g daily. At the end of this study, those consuming more fibre had no fewer pre-cancerous colon polyps that those consuming a lot less. A second study was conducted, that this time included 2000 people over 4 years. The first 1000 were told to eat a low-fat diet rich in fibre (36g daily) from whole foods, and the second 1000 people were to eat their normal diet. Once again, at the end of the study, those consuming a low-fat, fibre-rich diet had no fewer polyps. A third and much larger study by EPIC (European investigation into Cancer & Nutrition) who tracked 500,000 people in 10 countries over 5 years this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This time, the results were a success – the people out of those 500,000 who were consuming more fibre showed a whopping 40% lower risk of colon cancer.</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn5" name="_ednref5" style="mso-endnote-id: edn5;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS ??"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[1]</span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> So why is it possible that two studies failed, and one showed huge success? It is possible that its not just about ‘fibre’, but rather something about fibre-eaters that lowers their risk. Although lowering the risks of heart disease and diabetes is larger, cancer may possibly be prevented by consuming more fibre over a more lengthly period of time.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Obesity</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What if eating fibre rich foods could also help you maintain your weight? Fibre can potentially slow down the rate of food leaving your stomach, keeping you full for lengthier periods of time. A study on approximately 75,000 women who increased their fibre by 12g daily, had an 8lb weight loss. A second study was with 22,000 men who increased their fibre by 20g and had a weight loss of 12lbs. This weight loss is based on eating high fibre whole foods, as opposed to high-fibre snacks and foods that are still high in calories.</span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So whats the difference – Isolated and Natural fibres</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As mentioned previously, nowadays companies are adding in isolated fibres – Inulin, cellulose, and oat hull fibres to foods and labeling them with ‘added fibre’. This type of fibre is not naturally occurring. In order for fibre to be helpful, it has to be soluble or insoluble to help with certain conditions. For example, to lower bad cholesterol, fibre has to be soluble and viscous. Inulin, a non-natural fibre, is soluble but <u>not</u> vicous so it wouldn’t have the same effects on the human body as a natural fibre.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When talking also about regularity, Inulin and other false fibres are eaten up by the gastrointestinal tract before making it through. Therefore, they don’t help with this either. The only thing these types of fibres can do for you, is to give you regular gas build up and other gastrointestinal issues.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who wants that? The scary thing is that both isolated and naturally occurring fibres are all labeled the same on food products. So whats the best way to ensure your getting the good stuff? Whole foods!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Cancer as we know, is the one of the leading causes of
death, alongside heart disease, here in North America and has effected many of
us, one way or another. There are many cancer risk factors, that if we take
care of ourselves properly can be prevented such as; diet, weight and physical
activity. A whopping one third of all cancer deaths come from bad diets and
lack of physical activity alone (1)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"></span></span></a>.
After many years and billions of dollars in research, what if all along the
foods we eat can act as preventative medicine to help conquer cancer? Just by
taking a little more notice of the foods we put into our bodies, could
potentially make cancer history, so it dies off and is one never to be seen
again instead.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So what are the most important foods to consume to help beat
cancer? Foods rich in antioxidants (such as carotenoids and Vitamin C), Omega-3
essential fatty acid (EFA), phytochemicals (plant chemicals) and high in fibre
have shown to be beneficial in warding off nasty cancer causing substances.
Lets take a look at what foods contain these super substances:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Antioxidant
abundance:</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Antioxidants are the body’s major defense against free
radicals and oxidative stress. Free radicals cause havoc in the body, causing
damage everywhere in their path. Antioxidants neutralize them, therefore
stopping them in their tracks to ensure they can’t cause any further damage. It
only makes sense to consume more antioxidant rich foods, to make sure we have a
consistent supply of these fantastic little free radical fighters to maintain
optimal health. Antioxidants pack in a powerful punch when it comes to putting
up a fight with cancer causers and diseased invaders. They can be found in many
fresh (organic is best) fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits,, green
leafy veggies, broccoli and goji berries along with chia and hemp seeds, and
raw cacao. By taking a look at the US department of agriculture and their ORAC scores
(Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity), raw cacao powder is one of the highest
sources of antioxidants at a staggering 98,000 ORAC score. Raw cacao nibs come
in close behind at a massive 62,000, with goji berries coming in with a huge
25,000 score. Consumption of Goji Berries has shown to have huge impact on
human health, performance and disease prevention (2) <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn2" name="_ednref2" title=""></a>Comparing
these numbers to the recommended per person 3000-5000 ORAC unit consumption per
day, raw cacao and goji’s jam in a truly unbeatable amount!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Veggie proteins and
Omega-3</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Sadly, the majority of society today sees fatty steaks and
burgers as their only protein source that can hide a lot of scary chemicals.
The truth is, there are a lot of whole food vegetable protein options our there
also including seeds, vegetables and grains that contain a lot more than just protein
and are such a versatile (and easy!) addition to any family’s diet. An
abundance of Omega 3 essential fatty acid, fiber and complete protein can be
found in nutrient rich foods such as quinoa, hemp seeds, chia seeds and
vegetables which all contain an amazing full package of cancer fighting
substances to help keep you happy and healthy inside and out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Upping your intake of these foods and their plant-based
proteins, compared to that of fatty meats, has been shown to have anti-cancer
benefits due to reduced intake of ‘bad fats’ and increase of cancer fighting
phytochemicals, protein, omega 3 and fiber. An Italian study showed a diet rich
in vegetables protects us from the risk of developing the most common
epithelial cancers and nasty neoplasms (3)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn3" name="_ednref3" title=""></a>. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">An essential fatty acid, Omega 3, has also been shown to
have anti-cancer benefits by weakening and reducing cancer cells from a variety
of cancers such as colonic, pancreatic, prostate and breast cancers found in
humans (4)<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title=""></a>.
So how about this simple solution to help contribute to a cancer fighting body:
cut out (or at least reduce to start) fatty meats, and increase crisp, fresh
vegetables, wholesome whole grains such as nutty quinoa along with hemp and
chia super seeds. Sounds delish and your body will thank you!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Say goodbye</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What if by following these simple, dietary changes we could
help beat cancer forever? The evidence is there that by cutting out bad dietary
habits and simply starting by avoiding those drive-thru’s, increasing exercise,
and including a daily diet that incorporates all of the above antioxidants,
vegetable proteins, and wholesome fiber packed grains, we can stand up for our
bodies and say NO to cancer. After all, isn’t a whole superfoods diet like this
the type we <u>should</u><i> </i>be eating <i>anyway?</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

Were you ever told when you were younger if you ‘eat too
much chocolate you’ll get bad skin!? If you didn’t know already, then you’ll be
pleased that it’s not in fact chocolate (in raw cacao form that is!) that
contributes to poor skin health. Raw chocolate, known as cacao, or ‘food of the
gods’ has actually shown to be extremely beneficial for our skin’s health,
along with an abundance of other superb health benefits due to its pure,
antioxidant rich and nutrient dense composition. By consuming raw cacao on a
daily basis, you are actually benefitting your skin in so many ways that you
may not have ever known, providing it with a true medicine straight from nature.
So stay away from processed and highly sugared chocolate bars and get chomping
on that <u>raw</u> cacao!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Raw cacao and its sky rocketing amounts of amazing
antioxidants are what make raw cacao contribute to super skin. Collagen, found
naturally in our skin, decreases as we age eventually leading to droopy and
weathered skin. The aging process can also sped up by environmental pollutants,
free radicals, and damage from the natural sun in todays busy world. The good
news is that natural flavonoids, an antioxidant, found in Cacao helps to
protect collagen in the skin, helping to slow down the aging process. These
same flavonoids also improve skins appearance and texture by increasing blood
flow to the skin, delivering healthy beneficial nutrients faster while
decreasing the skins sensitivity to light, helping to protect our skin from
harmful UV rays.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
These fantastic flavonoids along with a substantial amount
of natural sulphur found in cacao, have also been shown to improve skin
conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and even acne. Increased blood flow to the
skin from cacao’s large antioxidant content results in better delivery of
nutrients and the removal of nasty toxins from the blood, expelling them for
good from the body. For those who may currently suffer with acne or oily skin,
don’t fear - cacao can aid and benefit your skin too. Cacao aids your skin to
help reduce overly oily production by gently and slowly drying it out. Its
antimicrobial properties may help reduce inflammation, so those pores won’t
become blocked and those unsightly and unwanted pimples will slowly dry away.
Toss or sprinkle raw cacao into homemade baked goods, smoothies, oatmeal or
simply eat on its own and start to notice a difference in your skin with
cacao’s super-cleansing content!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all love a bit of chocolate…but who knew that our hair did too! The cacao tree is a little strange looking but beautiful tree, in which the cacao pods actually grow from its trunk, and not the branches like other trees. One thing we now know for sure, is that <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">cacao</a>’s health benefits for your hair, is something that is definitely not strange, and will make your ‘main’ shine out from the rest of the pack!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The cacao tree is one of the most top nutrient rich botanical plants, making <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">raw cacao</a> a necessity towards beauty and wellness. An ingredient found in <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">cacao</a>, called sulphur, is the secret beauty mineral that is responsible for providing the correct super growth nutrients. By adding <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">raw cacao</a> (processed chocolate is <u>not</u> the same) into your diet, you can provide your hair with that added boost to help it grow long and strong which is excellent for people suffering from hair loss or a slow growth of hair, or those of us that just want healthier locks. <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">Raw cacao</a> adds shine and vibrancy while significantly improving the general health of hair.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Environmental toxins also play a role in the health of our hair.

In addition, poor food choices also contribute to poor hair due to high BAD fats and little nutrition. By eating antioxidant rich food like <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">cacao</a>, you help your body fight free radical damage so it can repair itself whenever needed, including the cells that make up hair follicles. Antioxidant rich <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/?id=14">raw cacao powder</a> is at the top of the antioxidant measurement table: ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) chart, with a whopping 28,000 antioxidant level per 100g – higher than green tea…so goodbye dull hair and hello healthy hair from raw chocolate!</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160" name="138112184e95d341__ednref1" title=""><span style="font-family: "Cambria", "serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[1]</span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160" name="138112184e95d341__ednref2" title=""><span style="font-family: "Cambria", "serif";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[2]</span></span></a></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another fabulous nutrient in <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/cacao/">raw cacao</a> is its protein content.

Where does it get left? Well this undigested food and waste material build up and stick to the walls of our intestinal tract and colon. With over 25 - 30 feet of digestive tract, this micro-ecosystem becomes a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria, which over time can cause serious health problems. Additionally, this toxic enviornment lays the foundation for a 5 star rated hotel stay for parasites which are commonly absorbed by exposure to: animals, soil, contaminated water or improperly cooked meat (pork is especially dangerous)</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">[i]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">.</span></span></div>

<div style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black;">a sensation that the bowels haven't completely emptied</span></li>

<span style="color: black;">There are a number of ways to remove these toxins: colon hydrotheraphy (colonic irrigations); enemas (which only gets the last 8-12 inches of the digestive tract); herbal supplements (which don't cleanse the digestive track but just empty it and can also have side effects) and laxatives (which can lead to side effects including dehydration and loss of muscle around the colon lining) and most simply a "salt water flush".</span></div>

<div style="background: white; border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
A salt water flush (SWF) is one of the easiest and quickest ways to clean your colon, stomach and the intestine. It will help to remove stored up toxins, left behind fecal matter, parasites and bacteria from your entire digestive tract. The SWF works as the salt water's saliency is the same as your body's saliency. So the water does not get absorbed into the body, but rather simply is flushed right through. The salt allows for your insides to be cleansed as well. Salt is a natural way to kill bacteria, which is why we rinse our mouths out with salt water to kill mouth bacteria or do salt gargles when we have a sore throat. So while this is winding its way through your system it has the same effect. </div>

<div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To do a salt water colon cleanse, make sure that you do it when you have time to be close to the ‘loo’ so schedule at least a half or full day to do it. So make sure you have nothing to do and don’t need to leave the house.</span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The salt water colon cleanse starts with:</span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-left: 38.35pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">·<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">one quart (8 cups) of lukewarm pre-boiled purified water</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-left: 38.35pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">·<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">add one heaping tablespoon of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/rock_salt/">Mum’s Original Inner Mountain Himalayan Rock Salt</a></b> (<u><b>do NOT substitute</b></u> for ionized table salt)</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-left: 38.35pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">·<span style="font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US">add one tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)</span></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stir or shake it until the salt fully dissolves. Drink this salt water mixture quickly (within 30 minutes). For optimal results lay down and gently massage your stomach down to your colon area to help break up accumulated fecal matter. Within thirty minutes to two hours after drinking the SWF you will feel pressure on your colon (and may hear gurgling noises) and will feel the need to go FAST! You may have several bowel movements over the next few hours and they may be very watery – which is what you want. </span></div>

Help your system remain clean by getting the right amount of fiber rich foods: like </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/premium_chia/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">chia</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/hemp_hearts/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hemp</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">oatmeal</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, along with a colon-friendly diet that includes nutrient rich foods like fruits and veggies, beans, </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/goji/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">gojis</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/quinoa/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">quinoa</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The term ‘breakfast’ literally means literally means “breaking the fast”. After fasting all night, a developing body (and brain) needs a number of things: great carbohydrates (fiber), complete protein and healthy fats. When your child wakes up they have not eaten for a long time which is hard on a young person’s body as they have faster metabolisms and need constant replenishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, if your 6 year old ate dinner at 7pm the night before, a 7am rise means a full 12 hours without nutrients. The result? Insulin and glucose levels rise while the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>child’s body tries to quickly rebalance itself. If nutrients are lacking over time, the body will start to effectively<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>‘stockpile’ energy (or fat) when the child does eat in order to quickly store food as fat for future use. This creates a cycle of stress on the body and potential pediatric weight gain. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Studies indicate that with a healthy breakfast children are more likely to lose excess weight and maintain weight loss. In one American <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial;">study, they reviewed thousands of adolescents for five years and found that: teens who ate breakfast (with more daily calories)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>had a lower </span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Body Mass Index even though they ate more calories in a day. Other studies have prove that breakfast<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>helps to </span></span>jump starts the metabolism, helping kid <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family: Arial;">feel fuller for longer while decreasing bad snack desires. In one study they reviewed the b<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">rains of children and found that those who ate breakfast were far less likely to be enticed by the bad trans-fatty foods at lunchtime</span>.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carbohydrates, with the best choice being the complex-carbohydrate of soluble and insoluble fiber, become the brain's basic fuel. "Without glucose," explains Terrill Bravender, professor of pediatrics at Duke University, "our brain simply doesn't operate as well. People have difficulty understanding new information, [they have a] problem with visual and spatial understanding, and they don't remember things as well."</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When choosing a healthy breakfast meal, look for foods with high fibre percentages that make up the carbohydrate portion. So for example a cereal that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is 20g of carbohydrate and has 18 grams of fiber is an incredible choice. Conversely, a bowl of cereal with 20grams of carbohydrate that has minimal fiber basically means that this is a bowl of sugar – as that is how your child’s body will use or metabolize the carbohydrates. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What you want to look for are “low glycemic” foods. The glycemic index is a measure of how quickly food carbohydrates are absorbed into our bodies and converted to energy. Sugary low fiber cereals are ‘simple carbohydrates’ that are metabolized very quickly causing a peak in blood-sugar levels. This sugar “high” then requires the body to try to get rebalanced by secreting insulin to stop the negative effects of this poor choice. Blood sugar levels then fall dramatically after two hours or so. These blood sugar peaks can trigger a release of hormones that can affect mood. In some children, these hormones can affect concentration and memory.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">High fiber foods such as whole grains, <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/premium_chia/">chia</a>, fruit, veggies and <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a>, on the other hand, are absorbed very slowly. The result is high fiber breakfast eaters have a slow rise in blood sugar levels and the energy and nutrients last them through the morning. At one study done by Tufts University, the psychologist Holly Taylor had one group of children eat sweetened <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a> for breakfast while another ate Cap'n Crunch cereal with the same sugar content. Afterwards, both groups were given academic tasks. The <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a> eaters did up to 20 percent better than the Crunch eaters. To Taylor, that shows that "the children were remembering more information … after having eaten <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a>." Although both cereals had the same sugar levels, Taylor says that the <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a> had more protein and fiber, and therefore a lower glycemic index.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Protein is important to have at every meal, especially first thing in the morning. Most importantly, the protein needs to be complete so that the body can utilize it immediately. </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Research shows that a high protein breakfast results in feelings of satiety for longer periods and better food choices throughout the day if your first meal has protein-rich foods, such as eggs, low-fat dairy products and fiber-filled fare, such whole-grain bread, <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/hemp_hearts/">hemp seeds</a>, nuts and <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/oats/">oatmeal</a>.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Good fats are also an important part of a healthy start to a little one’s day. Make sure that you avoid any trans-fatty acids found in many processed foods like donuts, cookies and snack foods. Also lay off the saturated fat that is high in meat and dairy products. Instead, opt for healthy fats found in essential fatty acids (EFA) – Omega 3 and healthy Omega 6. The EFAs are needed for:normal brain function; growth and development; bone health; and regulation of metabolism. Great sources of vegan EFA sources can be found in <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/premium_chia/">Chia</a> and <a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/hemp_hearts/">Hemp Hearts</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">In addition, Hemp Hearts are the only food source of an incredibly beneficial type of omega-6 fat called gamma linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is a direct building block of good anti-inflammatory hormones. <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">GLA has many benefits as it helps to: </span>regulate blood pressure; reduce inflammation; enhance immune response; defend against abnormal cell proliferation; assist in production of steroids and hormone synthesis; regulate the body's fluid balance by assisting kidney function; reduce allergic response to allergens and promote nerve transmission. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">So a great way to start the day is to have EFA’s daily.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;"></span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We often associate the word ‘fat’ with the consumption of heavily processed fast foods and drinks, however believe it or not, there is such a thing as a healthy fat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Essential fatty acids (EFA’s), also more commonly recognized as the Omega’s (most importantly Omega 3’s and 6’s) and are actually very important aspect in achieving optimal health. Our body needs both Omega 3 (alpha-linolenic acid) and Omega 6 (linolenic acid) most importantly because our bodies cannot produce them, and therefore they must be consumed in our day-to-day diet for our body to function efficiently.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what do EFA’s actually <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">do?</i></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You may be thinking to yourself, whats so great exactly about these ‘fats’? Well, studies have shown that these super-fats actually contribute to a number of bodily functions that we don’t even really think about – good circulation, skin function, cell division, brain development, immune system, blood pressure and clotting, having healthy reproductive and nervous systems, as well as having anti-inflammatory properties; the list goes on and on. If I haven’t caught your attention yet, how about if I told you that by consuming more foods with a high dose of omega 3 and 6, could actually increase your energy, boost your learning capability, assist in weight loss, and could potentially save your life. They improve your good cholesterol levels in the body, actually decreasing your chances for a stroke and/or heart attack.</span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1732039229838185160#_edn1" name="_ednref1" style="mso-endnote-id: edn1;" title=""><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span style="font-family: Cambria;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoEndnoteReference"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Cambria; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS ??"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">[1]</span></span></span></span></span></span></a></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So whats the ‘catch’?</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is none. Unless you’re a super do-it-yourselfer and like catching your own fish of course. If you are a big fish eater and eat fish twice of more a week, then your well on your way to a healthy life. If your not the ‘fishy’ type, and still want to boost your diet, heres some great alternatives. Why not toss some walnuts and berries into your green leafy salad? Flax seeds, </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/premium_chia/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">chia</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/hemp_hearts/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hemp</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> are also jam-packed full of these super nutrients. Its as simple as throwing in a tablespoon of </span><a href="http://www.mumsoriginal.com/products/hemp_hearts/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hemp</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> into your morning yogurt, or even buying free range eggs from the grocery store.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you lead a busy, hectic life like most of us do in todays society, fish oil supplements are also available. Be sure to buy from trusted manufacturers who guarantee that their products are free of heavy metals such as lead and mercury.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep in mind also, to keep you on track to becoming a ‘better being’, a good balance of both omega 3 and omega 6 is important, and that more of one can cause deficiencies in the other. Eat a good balance of these above superfoods and enjoy a healthy, happy, long life to come! </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ever heard of that familiar saying, you are what you eat? Its true. That’s because your body’s daily performance is run on fuel that we get from our daily diet. Ever find yourself in too much of a hurry to prepare a wholesome lunch for your break at work that you opt to go through a drive through for fast food instead? These unhealthy eating habits all contribute to your short and long term health. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you are fueling your body with bad poor quality foods, don’t expect to get any more than that out of your daily performance. The foods you eat effect the way you think, function, feel and look, effecting your general health and wellbeing. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand, by eating a healthy balanced diet with good wholesome foods will help you function at your best. Healthy food and lifestyle provide the necessary vitamins and minerals needed for certain bodily functions. The body needs vitamins A, D, E, K, C and the B vitamins along with minerals and essential fatty acids to stay healthy. By starting a healthy diet now, you could save yourself from certain health risks in your future such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So how do you ensure your cutting out the ‘bad stuff’ completely? Basically, by avoiding anything processed. Foods that contain saturated fats, trans fats and bad cholesterol such as store bought fatty cheeses, ice cream, cookies, chips and donuts. If theres nothing wholesome about it and you cant pronounce half the ingredients on the packaging… Do you think its going to do anything good for your body? No – your body cant pronounce them either. Opt for wholesome, superfoods to get the most out of your diet.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tFON0Y9cQE4/T6plcr4rxUI/AAAAAAAAAEs/-DpZtFyCSGA/s1600/ann_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tFON0Y9cQE4/T6plcr4rxUI/AAAAAAAAAEs/-DpZtFyCSGA/s320/ann_1.jpg" width="278" /></a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Chatting with <a href="http://beabetterbeing.com/blog/">Ann Barnes</a>
is a real eye opener into the world of food, health, and business. With
a background in law, she’s always had the tendency to ask questions.
Already an ethical and healthy vegetarian since age 18, when her
interest in food grew further she started digging, and became shocked
with the misinformation spread by the food industry.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
After investing in a health food company a few years prior, the
opportunity to run the company full-time with her husband Mark arose,
and Ann was able to realize her passion for sharing and eating wholesome
food. Their business, <a href="http://mumsoriginal.com/">Mum’s Original</a>, sells natural and organic products like hemp hearts, chia, goji berries, and cacao.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Ann’s personal research sheds some light on why foods today can be
unhealthy and even cause intolerances. Milk, for example, starts out
nutritionally dense, but loses these qualities in processing. The same
is true with other foods which are mass produced and where corners are
cut, or modifications have taken the place of the natural ingredient.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
“Even with gluten, the reality is that what our grandparents used to
eat was grown with heirloom seeds passed down for generations,” said
Ann, “Since then wheat has been modified scientifically to increase
levels of gluten for a stickier consistency, which we’re raised to think
is a good thing.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So, we now eat different foods, and ones made cheaply, so you pay
for food but aren’t getting the same amount of nutrients. The sticker
price is a fake deal. Ann dedicates her life to selling
nutritionally-dense foods, and educating people on how to make simple
changes that can help people take charge of their health.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The super foods Mum’s sells are not only super healthy, what makes
her company even more interesting is where they get them from. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Outside of big food chains, Mum’s works with independent growers who
have significant expertise in what they do. They work with farms and
co-operatives in Canada and abroad, and support them to grow and produce
the best food naturally. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
In a region of The Philippines lies one of their partner co-ops in
which Ann says the best variety of cacao (where chocolate comes from)
was brought to 400 years ago. The standards in this area are higher than
in other countries they could source from, and they work with the
growers and local authorities to ensure fair wages and good working
conditions. They use stone milling and natural fermentation to bring out
the nutrients and avoid heavy metal contamination before it arrives on
store shelves.</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
“Respecting how we see growers, it changes the food,” Ann said.
“With our support they can make the right investments, and make the
products better while sustaining their livelihoods.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Ann’s focus is on educating other women, because she sees that they
are often still the main caregivers for children, partners, and elders. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
“Women prepare information and make choices for their homes. They
want real information and not to be lied to so they can make good
choices for their families,” she said.</div>

<div class="h3r2" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; margin-top: 10px;">
Like the famous Spinach Dip that
is full of super-fatty cheese and mayo, this one tastes as creamy and
decadent but is awesomely good for you! Rich in whole protein, Vitamin E
and Omega’s, this dip is one you can enjoy guilt free. Whether you
serve it with veggie sticks or plop it into a scooped out bread loaf,
this one will be a favorite for the health nut and the mayo-lover
alike…everyone can be great-full!</div>
