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 ...

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 ...

Today’s post is all about the paper for FITbaby’s First Birthday Party! We had custom invites, thank you notes, cupcake toppers, & goodie bag tags!  This was made super simple by one really great etsy shop……Bundle Design. Bundle Design. The name is right. Bundle. Design. She is FANTASTIC. I love love love Christine’s designs. I’ll get to customer service in a minute. But first, the reason I contacted her is that I am IN LOVE with her designs! And, she’s full of them. I asked for a custom thank you note [based on the invites] and told her what I wanted. She had 4 designs to me super quickly. How did she come up with 4 ideas that quickly? I have no idea. I am ...

FITmommy & FITbaby | mom was there…i swear!

There were a few moments over this past year that I’ve left saying “she’ll have no proof I was there” because I didn’t make sure I got a photo with me in it! On the flipside, I am trying to enjoy moments and not be obsessed about documenting everything. I don’t take my fancy camera everywhere. I recognize that a photo with my iPhone will document moments I want to remember but that my fancy camera is for moments I want to turn into canvas! I do a really great job of focusing on the moment and not pointing my camera in my kid’s face all day every day. BUT, I look back sometimes and wish I was in a few more photos. Anyway, my ...

No rice cereal for baby | Baby Led Weaning

January 9, 2012 Baby Led Weaning January 9, 2012

This is a blog about nutrition and fitness. And, now, since I have FITbaby, her nutrition is extremely important to me.  I had no idea that so much of what we feed our children is based on tradition versus research.  In general, I’ve found that the statement “Infant research is in it’s infancy” is an accurate one! I think I found that quote here. And, that statement is so disappointing to me. Why isn’t more research on our babies?! Anyway, when I started hearing discussions about “rice cereal” as my daughter’s first food, my first thought was to give her “brown rice cereal”…of course. But, then, I started doing more research and wondered…why rice cereal at all?  Should her first food be cereal? Grains? Carbs? ...
