Ribs and Mac & Cheese?

Last night, Gina and I were invited to a 65th birthday party. Now as you can guess, most of the people at the party were on the older side. It was a lovely party that they had in the Club House where she was living. The party started at 7, but we didn't arrive until about 7:15 (More on why we were late later).

When we arrived in the lobby of the Club House they had a large table set up with a bunch of food on it. They had some good stuff and some not so good stuff. In any event I believe I saw some fried stuff on the bad side. On the other hand they had roasted vegetables on the good side. Everyone was running around the table to grab what they could. I just observed.

I later found out that the table full of stuff was just the appetizers. They had planned a meal on top of all the food that was on the table in the lobby. The main course was ribs and mac and cheese. Now remember, most of the guests were not super young, although there were several younger people in attendance. Ok, let me get to my point, people that are older have a more difficult time digesting meat on top of all the food they grazed on the first hour we were there. As we get older, our digestive system does not function as it did when we were younger. That is why we should be feeding ourselves something that can be easily digested and easily absorbed.

I happen to have the perfect solution to that very issue of making it easier to digest food. When your body is functioning as it should then your body is not working very hard to protect your organs. If it doesn't spend time protecting your organs it can do what it's made to do. Each organ will run efficiently which provides more energy and stamina. Your heart rate will be low so that you are saving your heart instead of having it work twice as hard trying to digest all the fats, carbs, gluten, gmos and the list goes on.

Don't you deserve to live healthy? I understand where we are right now with food, but I firmly believe there is a paradigm shift that is coming. With the Wellness Revolution, will come the most efficient way to eat food and sustain oneself and still provide the body the essential nutrients with a minimal amount of calories. That is why we started the "7 Day Super Food Challenge". We want people to give their bodies a break from all the chemicals and gluten they eat on a daily basis. All we are asking is to substitute traditional food for 100% Gluten Free Nutrient Dense Super Food for one week. You eat every couple of hours on our protocol and are consuming nutrients that actually help your body work more efficiently.

Since I started in Nov of last year, my results have been amazing and I actually crave this food over traditional food any day of the week. Which brings me to why we were late getting to the party. It was actually my fault because I couldn't go to the party without having my shake first. It was shake time on my protocol so the party had to wait! That is when you know you have turned the corner. Turning the corner is when you truly take responsibility for your health and believe it is more important than food.

As one women pointed out to me, "You can eat anything in moderation". I think I've heard that before and I've probably said that before. The knowledge I have now about our food supply tells me even "in moderation" is not good for you. If you can't do 90% then start with 50% and work your way up, but just start somewhere! If you take our "7 Day Challenge" I know that it will give you a new way to look at food. Think outside the box if you really want to make a lifestyle change and improve your health.
