You can create a healthier body, lose weight and feel better by including more foods in your diet that are listed in the illustration.
One good way to get more of these foods in your diet is to make a veggie smoothie to replace one of your meals each day. Use a blender made to blend vegetables smooth (a regular blender won’t do the job). Add a carrot or/and another brightly-colored veggie (like half of a red bell pepper or a small portion of a beet), spinach or another leafy green, and at least one other veggie like a stalk of celery or half a cucumber (peeled). A piece of fresh ginger around the size of your thumb nail and one-half of a lemon or lemon juice is a good addition. It is best to use organic vegetables if possible. For the liquid, you can use half apple juice or orange juice (or juice of your choice), and half filtered water (alkaline water is best). Add enough liquid to make around 20 oz. of smoothie. To get a dose of quality essential fatty acids, add a tablespoon of cold-pressed flaxseed or extra-virgin coconut oil (or one of the other oils listed). Add a high-quality protein powder and you have a health-giving low calorie meal that your body will thank you for!
