HAVE YOU EATEN YOUR SEAWEED TODAY??

Arame Seaweed Beauty Salad

I'm calling this the beauty salad because it's so good for your skin, hair, and nails and much much more!

Arame is a brown sea vegetable or brown algae and just one of the many sea species out there.  Ok, I know it sounds gross, the name and plus the word algae!!  The Japanese and Koreans use it excessively in their diets and look amazing!  Arame has so many health benefits that we should be eating a ton of it!
~Arame contains calcium, iron, zinc, manganese, folate, vit A & K, and iodine.
~it boost the immune system
~helps provide a clear complexion, soft, wrinkle free skin
~promotes strong nails
~beneficial in the treatment and prevention of cancer due to lignans in it
~boost libido in men and women....wooo hoooo
~gives you healthy hair and may prevent hair loss!!!
OK right there alone is reason to eat it!
The Sunflower sprouts in the salad are an excellent source of nutrition.  The condensed energy is hidden within the seed and released in the form of a sprout!  When the seeds are germinated ( sprouted) the nutritional  value can multiply..  Yea I said multiply, not double..SO RAD!
Sunflower Sprouts-vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, essential fatty acid, dietary fiber, amino acids, and disease fighting phytosterols.
I mean can we get any healthier..OH my

Dairy is GROSS!

Sure dairy products may have a little calcium left after they are pasteurized but they still have hard to digest animal proteins, lactose sugar, growth hormones, antibiotic, and other contaminants. The best source of absorbable calcium are leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, Swiss chard, dandelion. Plus in order to have calcium absorbed it needs magnesium with it which dairy products lack.
Dark leafy greens contain both calcium and magnesium in perfect amounts for optimal calcium absorption.

Milk is one of the most MUCUS forming foods on the planet.  The casein found in milk is the material used to make the glue for woodwork.  Cabinet producers use it all the time.  Now do we really want glue(mucus) in our body?  Mucus holds toxins all over the body leading to asthma, allergies, ear infections, colds, compromised immune systems.
Try not using milk or dairy and replacing it with almond milk, hemp milk, fresh carrot juice, fresh vegetable juice, dark green leafy vegetables and watch colds disappear and your body become stronger and healthier.

The growth hormones and antibiotics that are injected into the cows to produce milk fast, enter directly into our blood stream!  So unhealthy!

Dairy can block the absorption of iron resulting in a reduced red blood count leading to anemia!
Not to mention the FAT in dairy...
Don't have any dairy tomorrow. #onedayatatime

Part one..throwing out the junk party!

Fridge and pantry rehab!

     Ok it's time to gut the fridge and pantry of old, dusty, fat filled, chemical laden, body slowing, heart stopping food and remodel with pure whole life giving food! It's time for a makeover and no better place to start than where we spend most of our time.. the kitchen. Let's make it up to date with a variety of colorful foods, gluten free crackers, raw nuts, organic dried fruit, the latest trend is organic natural food. We will have a reading label and throwing out junk food party! Fun! How many times do you go in and out of the pantry or open and close the cabinets, can't make a decision? Maybe deep down you know nothing in those cabinets is going to give you nutrients and energy your body needs. It’s just shelf fillers and does nothing but slow the body down. Let’s move along, so you may find yourself throwing out 50% of all the packaged and canned food after reading the labels. Its great though since you will never nourish and regenerate your body with old dead, stomach filler food. We want to eat alive colorful food that we were designed to eat.  I know in the past in the old decor of the pantry it was cool to have artificial flavors, toxic preservatives, chemical food dyes, saturated fats, addictive sugars, calories, artery clogging hydrogenated oils. The house our body lives in will never be vibrant, shiny, or skinny putting junk in it. Throw it out! It has no place on the shelf anymore or in your body for the new you or anyone you love.  Some words over our head are butylated hydroxyamisole (bha) and butylated hydroxytoluene (bbt) which are chemical preservatives that are either put in food or into the packaging. The FDA does not require food and packaging companys to announce using these hazards if they're used in packaging, which we may be injesting. Well the food in the pantry can live forever its preserved, but its junk in the trunk for our bodies. Now it's really time for a pantry gut job so that the packaged food in there doesn't out live you!
This may be tough to hear but yes fat-free and sugar-free foods need to go probably more than the other junk! Those words mean fake chemical substitutes, headaches, fatigue, clogged colon and a fat tush! One sweetener they use in sugar free is aspartame which has been linked to arthritis, birth defects, fibromyalgia, alzheimer, lupus, and diabetes. Aspartame contains methyl alcohol and when that enters your body it turns to formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can make you sick, it's toxic and carcinogenic. You’re tired of being sick, right? Throw out any package or canned diet soda that has aspartame in it!! Save your life and feel much better along the way.  It's garbage, trash, waste, old rotting dull pantry decor! We will be remolding those shelves with acceptable gluten free crackers and healthy snacks. Like Mary’s Gone Crackers, they're out of this world! No need for chemicals or gluten ever again. Remember the old saying garbage in; garbage out?! Same goes for what you put in your mouth, be conscious! If you don’t have the options of junk sitting on the shelves, you will have no other choice than to reach for a juicy, sweet, delicious piece of fruit.  The bonus is besides it making your mouth water its cleansing the body, giving you a natural sugar boost, and takes no time to digest. Fruit with the seeds is much more cleansing than fruits with pits. Cleansing fruits to have on the counter are grapes, apples, oranges, figs, and kiwis.

This will be continued! I will talk more about what to look for on the labels...

Have a fruit filled Saturday!! xoxo 

Michael just finished the cleanse, his letter to me!

Hi Melissa,

I wanted to give you my sincerest thanks for the Skinny Green cleanse. I've been looking to try a detox cleanse for the longest time as I felt that I needed to rid my system of the unhealthy foods I have been eating in abundance lately. I came across your company through a blog from a wonderful trainer named Jenna Phillips, who gave this her enthusiastic seal of approval. I decided to give it a try.
Right off the bat you were very accomodating in making the shakes right away and sending them to me over night. I was impressed with your dedication to your clients.
Day 1, first shake...I was surprised at how delicious this actually was. It gave me a great boost to start off my day.
Shake #2 & the first test of my willpower..my coworkers were eating their take out lunches as I sat there drinking my shake. They gave me a hard time for trying one of those "diet shakes" so I tried to explain to them that I was taking in vital nutrients and living foods to aid in my digestion. And jokingly said "you guys enjoy you dead food haha".
The hardest part of the day as usual was the afternoon rush at work and the stress it brings. I usually reach for the candy dish that was strategically placed in front of my desk to satisfy my sweet tooth. Instead I drank shake #3 which was actually naturally sweet and filling to both satisfy my sweet tooth and get me through the day with plenty of energy to spare.
I got home and decided to do an hour yoga session instead of my usual weights routine. I finished off by using a foam roller and then using my powerbreathe device to strengthen muscles used in breathing and improve my cardio. I followed that up with shake#4 and some herbal tea. Then went to bed at a decent hour.
I woke up the next day feeling lighter and ready to go. Day #2 was very similar and even a bit easier. I didn't even have the food cravings I usually get after seeing all those fast food ads on tv.
I gotta tell you, this was great. After finishing the cleanse I immediately felt and looked lighter. My waist shrank and I was leaner in my face. My digestion vastly improved as I didn't feel bloated after a regular meal. What I loved most about Melissa's product was that it helped me cleanse my system without depriving it of nutrients like so many other products do. It helped me reset my eating habits and state of mind.
I would recommend this to anybody no matter what your current fitness level is, even if you loved eating fast food and sweets like I did, because everyone can learn to make better choices in their diet.
Thank you so much Melissa for being a great ambassador to healthy living!

Sincerely,
Michael Melicor

I know I will be doing these once a month! After I completed the 3 days, I felt clear headed, refreshed, recharged, and energetic. Thank you for introducing me to how important detoxing and cleaning out my body is. By the way I have been 90%vegan and feeling great ever since!

Change your food>> change your life!

Raw living organic whole foods.. Pratically digest itself!
Living foods are packed with their own digestive enzymes. Cooking your food above 115 degrees cooks out 100% of the live enzymes we need and it takes way longer to move through our bodies. When we eat lifeless, cooked, no enzyme food our bodies must create digestive enzymes on its own grabbing energy from other organs and areas of our body. This leaves you feeling tired, lethargic, and stuffed feeling like you want to take a nap. I feel so light and refreshed after I eat my raw meals! Some people are worried they won’t have that full feeling after. Like they’re still hungry, but the food is so nutrient dense that you aren’t as hungry when you feed your body the right thing. A lot of processed food, packaged food or food on the inside isles of the store are filled with empty calories and most vitamins and minerals and 100% of the enzymes are cooked out! You want to feel good and have maximum energy try eating 50% raw. It’s a good start; maybe a salad everyday for lunch and some lightly steamed veggies and quinoa for dinner!

Cooked food
If we always consume processed foods and excess grains, meat, and dairy products, our lymphatic system becomes overloaded and congested, leaving extra toxins in the blood and digestive system where they can cause chronic disease and colon problems. Raw foods help our digestive tract to heal and discharge toxins and have become famous for helping heal people from discomfort and disease. Raw vegan foods are beneficial for losing weight (maximize fiber, low calories, enzymes for energy). Plus the high fiber content allows for a cleaner colon and then better absorption of vitamins for every cell!

I feel great and wake up early feeling good everyday and that’s why I want everyone to try some raw foods! The proof is in the Chocolate PUDDING! Try my raw chocolate pudding..I named it Addictive Chocolate Pudding. It’s guilt free food, made with mostly avocados which are a great source of vitamin e, excellent for GLOWING skin!!!
