Healthy meal plans should include organic foods as often as possible.
It’s true that organic foods (especially produce) are a bit more expensive than conventional foods, but for some foods, you really don’t want to skimp. If you are diligent when it comes to your grocery shopping, then you’ll know healthy meal plans that include organic foods are feasible if you catch weekly store specials.
Healthy meal plans that include organic foods are often easier to achieve if you visit your local farmers’ market because you’ll buy your produce directly from the farmer and you’ll save on the middle man charges. Continue reading “Healthy Meal Plans include organic foods” »
Healthy meal plans will improve your quality of life
Healthy meal plans can really change the way your body functions.
Healthy meal plans aren’t just for people who want to lose weight, they are also for people looking to improve the quality of their lives by increasing the energy levels and hence their productivity. Healthy meal plans (or weight loss meal plans for those looking to shed some pounds) should be that complicated to integrate in your life if you try to keep your meal plans to real foods.
A lot of people are quite intimidated by the idea of having to prepare meals from scratch, but that’s the beauty of working with a healthy meal plan … you prepare yourself in such a way that you actually have a plan that allows you to have your weekly meals prepared in advance and you simply need to reheat food when you get home after a long day at work.
If you’ve never followed a healthy meal plan in the past, you might not know where to start. There are a few simple tips I can share with you, but I’d highly recommend that you looking into using a proper structure if you intend on making healthy meal plans part of your lifestyle as you age.

Just in case you didn’t know already, Genuine Health is one of my favourite health food companies. I just cannot get enough of their Greens+ products (developed by Sam Graci) and their supplements.

Organic celery is WAY better than conventional celery
I’ve never liked raw celery sticks! I’m sorry, but celery as a vegetable has never really excited me at all.
There I’ve said it! Yes, a healthy eating expert that doesn’t like a particular vegetable is shocking, I know.
I’ve always found celery sticks to be tasteless and I used to make an effort to eat them, but not before covering them with a lot of salt to try to give them some taste (which really is not the best idea).
I will buy celery to cook. I make a delicious and simple meat pie and I love adding loads of vegetables in my pie and cooked celery is one of my favourites! Continue reading “Organic celery is WAY better than conventional celery” »
Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars are my new favourite raw food
I really didn’t expect Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars to be that insanely delicious!
I’ve eaten many natural protein bars, and some are much better than others. In fact, I reviewed a few that I quite liked here: Healthy and tasty protein bars
The new Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars are incredible. Not only are you getting 9 grams of protein (which represents 18 per cent of your daily requirements), you are also getting a bar made from loads of raw foods!
The bars come in three flavours: Green Synergy, Nutritive Original and Chocolate Decadence. My favourite by far is the Chocolate Decadence. It not only tastes great (and I’m not really a huge chocolate fan), it also provides you with the antioxidant benefits from 70 per cent cocoa (dark chocolate)!
Each Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bar is a unique, delicious blend of all-natural, raw, organic and enzymatically-active plant-based super foods including sprouted buckwheat, sprouted almonds, acai, Salba and hemp seeds. Continue reading “Vega Whole Food Vibrancy Bars are my new favourite raw food” »

Video Review: Ayala’s Herbal Water
I find it always shocking when I hear people say they “hate the taste of water”. I mean what is there to hate? Water is tasteless.
I’m equally confused when people say to me they drink pop or fruit juice when they are thirsty. I do enjoy a glass of fresh juice, but I assure you that when I’m dying of thirst, NOTHING (I mean, nothing!) quenches my thirst like water.
Water is also one of the best “diet secrets” there is!
Why? Because water is essential for your organs and essential in helping your body flush toxins (trapped toxins are the perfect festering ground to trap fat inside your body). If you replaced a couple of cans of pop each day with the equivalent in water, you’d lose weight without even trying!
A few years ago a few companies came out with these flavoured waters that were sweetened with artificial sweeters. The idea was that by sweetening water, manufacturers were bringing the taste closer to what most North Americans were used to drinking – sweetened drinks.
