Rawr Rawr Raw Foods

Who wouldn't want to bring out their inner super powers

with some of the world’s most powerful raw foods?!

The more raw foods you add into your diet the more your body will refuel and energize making you look and feel youthful. Instead of neglecting your body’s craving for nourishment why not take charge for being the best possible you. I promise that after reading this post you will feel motivated to make these little changes that will result in BIG positive changes!

It’s doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that the more good stuff you add into your diet, the less room you have for the bad stuff. Although this rule is simple you must put effort into planning your meals in order to follow through. I have a couple of guidelines that help me keep up with raw food intake:

•  Start your day with a tall glass of room temperature water with a lemon
•  Eat 2 -3 pieces of whole, organic fruits
• Have a big spinach salad every day
• Have a green smoothie loaded with vegetables every day

Try this SUPER yummy green smoothie:

Substituting processed, sugary and fried foods for raw foods allows your body to rest rejuvenate and heal. Some of current favourite super foods are the following

• Avocados: The monounsaturated fats help improve skin tone, maintain optimal skin moisture and protect your skin against wrinkles.
• Blueberries: Contain anti-cancer compounds and antioxidants.
• Peppers: Packed with antioxidants that protect cells and stave off aging.

Personally, I immediately noticed I had more energy, better sleep and my skin improved as soon as I increased my raw food intake. Everybody can benefit from eating more raw food on a daily basis and I think this is a wonderful goal for all of us. As always remember to honor the changes you make and celebrate your progress with it.

I would love to hear from all of you in the comments below if you have noticed a change with your body from trying the tips listed above! 

P.s As promised I will share with you last week's riddle answer: Scent, cent and sent

Me, Myself and I

Audrey Hepburn couldn't have said it better herself. There is no doubt that truly feeling and looking youthful comes from within all of us. The truth is as times goes on our minds can get younger if we smile, sing and stay positive. The best part is these techniques require nothing more than just YOU!

Smiling is one of the most effective ways to feel young and it is so effortless. Research studies have discovered that smiling lowers blood pressure, boosts our immune system and releases powerful endorphins that counter stress. Scientists have found that one smile can trigger the same reaction in the brain as receiving $25,000. The “Million Dollar Smile” saying might have more truth to it then we all thought! So find what puts a smile on your face and spread the love with friends and loved ones.

Singing has similar biological benefits as smiling! The best part is that it can be done anywhere at any time. Sing in the shower, sing with your friends in the car or sing when your home alone.

 Training our minds to have positive thoughts is the basis of good mental, emotional, and spiritual health. With so much happening in our lives it is easy to let the little things bring us down. We owe it to yourselves to cultivate positive thoughts and let the burden of worries and anxieties roll off. The more you hear a message the more likely you are to truly believe it. Take time to remind yourselves that you are beautiful, accomplished and loved!
