Ok let’s talk salt… first of all does your body need it? Yep sure does! Secondly, it should be pink or gray to ensure that nutrients are still present. The white traditional table salt has completely been depleted… The purest salts are Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Salt. These salts contain all of the 84 elements found in your body. Here is what they do…

Mount Verde Smoothie: Blueberries, cucumber, spinach, avocado, chia seeds, almond milk, spirulina, & raw honey.

Had an amazing lunch with my sister at Glaser Farms today! Avocado salad, spinach, red peppers, and cabbage/broccoli in tahini dressing.

”A cup of fresh raspberries contains high levels of assorted vitamins and minerals needed for healthy body functions, including 186 mg of potassium, necessary for maintaining healthy blood pressure; 31 mg of calcium, needed for bone development and growth; and 167 combined mcg of lutein and zeaxanthin. This pair of carotinoids — or plant pigments — can help protect against macular degeneration, an eye disease that can cause loss of vision.”

Start your day off with a juice or smoothie. Why? Your body is still ”cleaning out” your system in the morning and these are both easy to digest. And a natural vitamin boost. Go for a smootie if you need fiber!

LOVE this new organic juice and smoothie bar on South Beach. Check out JugoFresh next time you’re in Florida.

My sister Louise and I opted for these delicious menu items:

• Chia Seed Pudding – chia, cashew milk, & lemon cashew cream
• Acai Bowl – acai, almond milk, banana, strawberries, and Brazil nut crumble

Ok there  are a few reasons why women should avoid soy… Yes that processed food that our society makes all kinds of things with – McNasty – and calls these products ”food.” But the number one reason is that soy may disrupt the menstrual cycle and cause infertility. And who (maybe not now) doesn’t want kids later in life? I sure do. So put down your soy latte, soy nuggets, and soy yogurt, cause they ain’t doing you no good.

On occasion, I think traditional soy sauce and organic edamame are ok… once in a blue moon…

Listen, you need to be aware of what’s going into the body. It will only take abuse for so long.

Love and respect yourself with the right foods.
