Week 2: What To Eat?

Eating healthy is a priority in our home and at times demands some creativity in the kitchen.  Over all vegetables, fruits, various forms of protein and whole grains are our main staples.  

I have started to incorporate green smoothies as a regular part of my daily food intake.  Often for breakfast I have a smoothie consisting of some combination of broccoli, spinach, apple, pomegranate, banana, celery and natural unsweetened plain yogurt. You can add beets, various berries, red cabbage, carrots, peaches or other favorites. I use agave nectar as a natural sweetener which helps keep the insulin levels down.  I will post some recipes in the Healthy Recipes link.


I have also started incorporating more sprouts into my diet, which I have been growing in mason jars.  Youtube has a number of videos that will walk you through the process. I believe the more live food I am able to ingest the better it is for not only my liver but the over all health of my body. 



Make it fun.  Get creative. 

Cheers

Deborah
