Boost the Nutrient Power of Vegetables

Spring has sprung and this is an ideal time to learn how to boost the nutrient power of vegetables. I have several tips for you. The question is: what order should I give them to you?

Should I give these tips on how to boost the nutrient power of vegetables based on potency or convenience? I’m going to opt for convenience.

My Top 6 Tips to Boost the Nutrient Power of Vegetables

Tip #1 – The greener the vegetable the more nutritious it will be. This means stop eating iceberg lettuce and instead eat spinach. Dark green leafy vegetables and ones that are vividly colored (purple, red, yellow, and orange) will provide you with a broad range of powerful plant nutrients.

Tip #2 – Juicing provides an easy way to consume a variety of vegetables. Most health experts recommend 2-4 servings of vegetables per day but who has time for this. Instead add them to your morning smoothie. I don’t like carrots raw or cooked but I add them to my morning shake with a cup full of spinach. Sometimes I add kale to the mix. This gives me 2 to 3 servings. And when I add my frozen blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries I have my 5 to 8 servings of fruits and vegetables per day.

What Are The Health Benefits of Vegetables

While the health benefits of vegetables are tremendous they get lost in the American or Western diet of red meat, dairy products, grains, and dark cola drinks. This kind of food consumption constitutes an acidic diet, which allows diseases the desired environment from which to grow and spread.

Your body is designed to be slightly alkaline and this is one of the primary health benefits of vegetables.

But what really intrigued me to write this post is a study out of Neurology. This study involved 3,718 Chicago area men and women aged 65 and older.

Chicago is the land of deep dish pizza (Giordano’s is the Best) and all beef hot dogs (especially those from Portillo’s). Sometimes the only vegetables consumed are the dark relish added to the hot dog.

These study participants were followed for 6 years and what the researchers found was startling.

Thoughts On Our Whole30 Journey

In today’s post I want to share some observations about our Whole30 Journey. We completed this journey about 3 weeks ago. My wife and I have continued to apply most of the Whole30 parameters since officially ending this lifestyle.

I asked my wife Sherry to write down the three most significant benefits that she enjoyed while being on the Whole 30 Journey. They are:

Weight Loss

Significantly Reduced Joint Pain and Inflammation

Eliminated Bloating and Abdominal Cramping

My Whole30 Chili

In today’s post I’ve asked Patrick Harms to give you his Whole30 Chili recipe. As I shared in a previous post our family decided to implement the Whole30 lifestyle to improve our overall health and wellness.

One of the food sources that you eliminate are all legumes. One of the meals that our family would enjoy is chili. The old recipe used dark red kidney beans, pinto beans, and chili beans. And while we loved the taste of the old recipe sometimes the aftereffects we’re not ideal. Abdominal discomfort, bloating and extra gas.

As I shared in my previous post, the Whole30 lifestyle requires a lot of preparation work if you’re going to stay on it. My son-in-law Patrick and daughter Sarah have been tremendous is preparing Whole30 meals so that we can stay on track. And they designed this Whole30 Chili recipe.

It is FANTASTIC!

My Whole30 Journey – Part 1

In October of 2015 I decided to go Gluten Free and eliminated Wheat from my diet. For Lent our family decided to implement the Whole30 program for the next 40 days. I’m halfway through the Whole30 journey and I thought I’d share some observations about this program.

What is Whole30?

The concept behind Melissa and Dallas Hartwig’s Whole30 program is that it takes 30 days to reset your health and change your relationship with food. That by eating non-processed whole foods and eliminating grains, dairy, sugar, legumes, and alcohol from you system, you will:

Best Ever Gluten Free Waffles and Pancakes

At the end of October 2015 I decided to go Gluten Free. I’ve been faithful to this Gluten Free lifestyle ever since. And while the change has been extremely positive from a health perspective I’ve missed certain foods.

One in particular is having waffles for breakfast.

Most of the time my morning meal is my High Antioxidant High ORAC Health Shake, and I like to combine it with toast to hold my appetite until early afternoon. In going Gluten Free I’ve been searching for a replacement for toast.

I’ve completed my 4th week on being Gluten Free and looking forward to this Thursday, Thanksgiving Day for us here in the United States.

So Happy Thanksgiving to all my US subscribers. May it be a great day of Family, Food, and Football. And for those outside the US you can certainly adopt this Holiday Tradition and make the 4th Thursday of the month of November a time to officially give thanks for all the Blessings you enjoy.

I’m entering into a whole new world of going Gluten FREE!

I personally don’t have an issue with gluten but my wife has a sensitivity to gluten and it would be nice to be supportive to her.

This means that the next series of newsletters will be in the Gluten FREE arena of information.

And as I’ve begun to dip my toe into it, it’s a bit overwhelming with the amount of information and options that are out there.

So here’s the game plan:

I hope you’re feeling well.

I’m feeling EXCELLENT!

I thought I felt good before going Gluten FREE but since making the decision a little over two weeks ago I’m feeling even better.

Now feelings can be subjective and so let me give you two quantifiable areas of improvement for me.
