Your food choices are so important! You will feel better. Your body is running on what you feed it. It’s not about calories, it’s about the quality of fresh foods. Enjoy!

It turns out the QUALITY of our food matters more the QUANTITY of the food we eat. And it’s a lot easier to control WHAT we eat than HOW MUCH we eat. The QUALITY of the proteins, fats, and carbs is super important.⁣
⁣
We have been taught that all calories are the same. It’s what our government tells us, what nutritionists and doctors tell us. It’s what the food industry tells us.⁣
⁣
All calories are the same—it’s all about moderation. Nonsense.⁣
⁣
The science shows that food is not just energy or calories but information that regulates almost every function of our body.⁣
⁣
In a lab, all calories are the same when you burn them. But not when you EAT them. Your body is a complicated biochemical, hormonal soup controlled mostly by what you eat.⁣
⁣
Our gene expression, our hormones, our immune system, our gut flora, our brain chemistry, our muscle mass, our metabolism, and more are all changed with EVERY single bite of food.⁣

Food is the code that programs your biology. You can literally upgrade or downgrade your biological software with every single bite.⁣

I’ve seen thousands of people transform simply by changing their diet to real, whole foods, so why not give it a shot? You will only feel better.⁣

Start with your diet for more energy, by eating more fresh fruit and vegetables and by decreasing processed packaged foods.

Mitochondria are key energy sources for our bodies. They are tiny factories housed within our cells that take the foods we eat and the oxygen we breathe and convert them into energy.

That energy is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and it is used to support every function in our bodies.

Each cell holds hundreds or thousands of mitochondria; they are found in greater concentrations in active organs and tissues like the heart, brain, and muscles.

In fact, we have more than 100,000 trillion mitochondria in our bodies, and each one contains 17,000 little assembly lines for making ATP. Mitochondria are where metabolism happens.

So, when your mitochondria aren’t working properly, your metabolism runs less efficiently and can even practically shut down. Problems occur because these powerful energy producers are VERY sensitive and easily damaged. When they are damaged, we suffer from low energy, fatigue, memory loss, pain, rapid aging, and more.

Fatigue is the most common symptom of poorly functioning mitochondria, and it is the reason we tend to feel pooped as we age.

Mitochondria are really important, but unfortunately many things can damage them, mainly through uncontrolled oxidative stress. That may sound complicated, but in reality we are all familiar with “oxidative stress”, even if some of us don’t know what the term means.

Lemon water! 🍋💦 Do you drink it?

Several years ago, I began drinking warm lemon water with cayenne every morning - and this habit is so valuable to me that I try to do it every single day (even when traveling)! Once upon a time, I had cravings for sugary foods like granola bars or muffins as soon as I got up in the morning, but those cravings vanished after I began this habit. Now I crave whole and satisfying foods instead. Starting my day with a healthy action sets me up for success for the rest of the day and is a reminder that my health comes first.

It provides a super stimulant to the liver, your main detoxing organ in the body. Your liver will release uric acid and create bile to safely eliminate environmental and lifestyle toxins that would otherwise be trapped in your digestive system longer. Remember keeping your liver and digestive system clean and in optimal condition will help your body prevent diseases like cancer in the future. Combining cayenne with lemon increases the detoxing effect and raises the temperature of your body increasing your metabolism.

Drinking this combination will cleanse your body every single day safely and naturally. I plan to do it for the rest of my life. Join me and watch your vitality increase!
