The Green Smoothie
If you have an Instagram or Twitter account, I am sure you have seen pictures detailing the recent Green Smoothie trend. They are everywhere!
Kimberly Snyder, a registered dietitian and nutritionist for celebrities says, "Ongoing cleansing is a critical way to reach your highest potential of
health and beauty. The Glowing Green Smoothie retains all of the fiber
of the greens and fruit, rather than removing it. Blending helps make greens’ full spectrum of nutrition readily available
to the body. Nutrients are encased inside plant cells and getting their
benefits requires these cells’ walls to be ruptured."
How stinkin cute is she??
Kris Karr is another green smoothie advocate who claims that green juice is what helped her overcome stage 4 cancer.
She writes on her blog:
"My backstory and why the heck I know a thing or two … On Valentine’s Day in 2003, I was diagnosed with a very rare and incurable (yet thankfully slow-growing) stage 4 cancer. This whiskey tango foxtrot moment (that’s military lingo for WTF?!) sparked a deep desire in me to stop holding back and start living like I mean it! I wanted to feel better, love harder and enjoy my life more fully. So I hit the road on a deep healing pilgrimage and have never looked back. Nearly ten years later, my life is truly, madly magical–even with cancer. If I can pull that off, just imagine what YOU can do!" (source)
After perusing her website for 2.5 hours, I decided that I really need to cut sugar out of my diet for good.
It's just SO BAD. SO SO SO BAD. It is food for cancer cells (literally).
And I don't want to get cancer, or make a way for cancer to grow on my body. Although I can't completely prevent these things from happening, I can be pro-active by making good choices! It's amazing how FOOD, not medicine made her cancer go away, and her incredibly healthy lifestyle
