JUICING FOR KIDS OMEGA JUICER FITNESS NUTRITION BLOG WOMEN

What kind of juicer? When researching juicers, I went to my favorite source, the place I started with my information, gerson.org for their Guide to Juicers.  Here’s a brief overview of the types of juicers. (NOTE: READ THE WHOLE LIST!) Centrifugal Juicers.  The juicers you see everywhere today are mostly these.   The Gerson Institute does not recommend these for any use & lists them as UNSUITABLE on their site.  According to the Gerson Institute, these juicers “expose the juice to heat and oxygen, killing off the essential healing enzymes in the juice.  These juicers have difficulty juicing leafy greens [and] more produce is required to make less juice.” (source) According to my research: these use more produce (more expensive in long run) the heat kills healing ...

Juicing How To Guide | Why Juice? [Part 1 of 4]

February 12, 2013 FIT recipes February 12, 2013

I am not a juicing authority. As always with my blog, I am sharing my personal experience and research with you to help make your journey smoother than mine.  If you know more than me, share it! If you have questions, ask them!  If you disagree with me, tell me why! Cancer scares me. It seems to be everywhere these days. We all know someone who is affected.  But why? What is causing it?  We don’t have any REAL answers but there are tons of ideas and it seems to be coming from everywhere! As I do my research I am slowly starting to change the things in our lives that may be causing or preventing cancers. One step at a time. One thing at ...

Holly was on the show with me. You can watch it here & read my reply if you missed it.  I told Holly after the show that at least if the show was a bust, I met a friend in the process! :) I was so glad to have Holly there with me. I found her on a BLW Facebook Group and it turns out we have a mutual friend. Small world! About Holly. Holly is mom to 1-year-old Miller. She holds a B.A. from the University of Maryland and an M.A. from Georgetown University. She operates a busy travel agency and spends her free time directing Voices In Praise, a youth choir of 11- to 18-year-olds who have traveled throughout the U.S., Canada, Ireland ...

baby led weaning steve harvey

By now, many of you have seen my Steve Harvey segment on Baby Led Weaning. If you haven’t…here it is… [video removed at the request of Steve Harvey show] I could critique myself a lot and tell you I talked too fast in the first segment or said “so” too much, but oh well! If I get the chance to be on TV again, I’ll do better! For now…I think I did pretty damn good! :) My response….. I have a few apologies to start. My first apology is that I have been missing on this blog recently. Sorry about that.  It took a lot more time to prepare to appear on Steve Harvey than I anticipated!  There was travel time to Chicago, packing and ...

I’m on TV Thursday! | Watch me on Steve Harvey!

September 5, 2012 Baby Led Weaning September 5, 2012

[I left the smudges on the stainless steel fridge on purpose in the pic above...it shows real life...and that she tries to open & close the freezer herself to get her frozen veggie teethers out! That's a piece of frozen asparagus she's chewing on while teething. Caution: As with all foods, watch your children closely while eating.  I always think about the fact that if she was actually, really truly choking on food, I wouldn't hear anything. Usually if they're coughing, they're clearing it from their throat. So, I try to watch her extra close if I know she has food in her mouth!] MY LATEST NEWS….. I’M ON NATIONAL TV!!!! WATCH ME ON STEVE HARVEY ON THURSDAY 9/6/12 talking about Baby Led Weaning! The ...

Best, most natural teethers around!! | Baby Led Weaning

August 3, 2012 Baby Led Weaning August 3, 2012

We love Baby Led Weaning at our house! It comes natural to us. It’s how we are. It just makes sense. It’s easy. And she loves it! We feed ourselves as much real food as we can and we feed her 99.9% real food. She has nibbled on some crap here and there: cheerios at play groups [and that's my secret weapon plan for flying the next time], crap at restaurants, teething biscuits at desperate moments. But for the most part REAL foods it is. One of our secret weapons at our house is FROZEN VEGGIES….especially frozen broccoli and asparagus. These are our two favorite teethers!  Teethers only worked for a few seconds and then they were on the floor. BUT a piece of frozen broccoli ...
