Have you found a Healthy Balance?

Hello! Wishing every one is well and Healthy. Over the last few weeks I have been attending different seminars, including some regarding Diabetes. I am blessed, to be Healthy. Here is what I found out and makes me think. About 90% of the persons that suffer from Diabetes, were very reluctant about changing eating habits and were not open to change much of the refined sugars or flour/grains, would not eat vegetables and if so, very little. Many did not follow a eating pattern and would have a "little something" in the morning and wait all day until dinner time to eat again. Also, when the time came up to discuss what was the regular diet for their kids.... WOW!

Please, keep in mind I am not an expert, nor a doctor. I just have learned and practiced healthy (or "almost healthy") eating habits for over two decades now and enjoy sharing with others. It is so simple, specially if you make the changes gradually. It is so important to teach the children healthy eating habits as well. No wonder the predictions made for this generation is that is will be the one with the shortest life span ever. How are you taking care of yourself? and your family? Are you eating enough fruits and vegetables?

Once you start making these changes, besides noticing an improvement in your health, you will notice a weight loss as well. After talking with so many of my clients, I finally made the decision to begin a weekly live call, using skype, where we will go over a Lifestyle change for you and your whole family.  Live Well!

To your continued Health and Wealth!

Who Said Healthy Eating is Boring?

Mmmmm! Simply irresistible! This delicious meal was prepared using Brown Rice, Veggie Protein Sausage - Chorizo Style and Steamed Broccoli, Cauliflower and Carrots.

Eating and Living Healthy is not as complicated or boring as many think. Many of you may be already living a healthy lifestyle and many more problably still eating about anything, others are learning and are beginning to make changes in their lifestyles. Welcome everyone! I like to avoid pre-packaged meals and try to eat as healthy as possible. Yes! I said "try" I do my best, I am the first one to say that I do not always eat healthy, but at least 85% to 90% of the time I do. Every so often there is that craving for something that is "not that good for you" or you are invited to a party. I go and enjoy myself. Even though I don't really like much bagged snacks, I try this or that. Is one day and the best part is that I am not addicted to them! This is the major issue whith snacks, many individuals are addicted to them and must have them on a daily basis. Then.... we ask, how come there are so many obese people here? Mostly on account of "empty calories" and many more times just because the poor habit of planning heathier meals ahead of time. It is better to find a perfect balance than to not do it at all. Besides, I always use a good supplement on a daily basis. Once you get started, you will find out how easy it is to obtain more nutrients through your food. Please, do not forget about the children, teach them young to eat better.

About this dish, I love Chorizo! The sad part is that WOW! talk about fat content and sometimes by just looking at it I think about what would this do to my arteries? Good news, I found this all Veggie Protein Sausage - Chorizo Style with such an amazing flavor! Now I can enjoy my chorizo. I cooked the brown rice with the chorizo and added some fresh chopped onion, turmeric, garlic and sea salt. I cooked it in a rice cooker. The vegetables I steamed and sprinkled with some sea salt. My serving was 1 part rice and 3 parts vegetables, a very satisfying meal that your whole family will enjoy. Want to trick them? Cook it and do NOT even mention that the Chorizo is all veggie. Let them enjoy it and THEN.... let them know. Many times when we tell them what they are eating, the mind works in such a way that right there and then you will hear "yikes! veggie sausage? I don't like it" So.... put it on the table and....... Enjoy!

If you would like the recipe, send me and e-mail requesting the Brown Rice and Chorizo recipe. The supplements I use are of "High Quality" and have used them since 1998.

To your continued Health and Wealth,

Enjoy your meal!
