Because Knowledge is Power
 

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT IF SOMEONE INVENTED MAGIC WEAPONS TO BLOCK “BAD” THINGS FROM HURTING OUR HEALTH?

“Magic” elements that help the body neutralize a host of damaging factors we may expose ourselves to on a daily basis?

Well, we already have it! Fruits and vegetables!

Check this out:

Blueberries…antioxidants help prevent cells from turning CANCEROUS!

Bananas and sweet potatoes……potassium helps lower risk of STROKE!

Oranges….Vitamin C that (besides boosting our immunity) can help reverse damage from smoking to the eye in MACULAR DEGENERATION

Kale……has alpha-lipoic acid…..helps regulate blood sugars levels and improve insulin sensitivity to fight DIABETES

Almonds ….Calcium and Magnesium – elements needed on a cellular level and lowers risk of HEART ATTACK!

I could go on and on, believe me!
These are part of our natural arsenal of magic weapons!
Naturally occurring, inexpensive plant-based foods that are easy to come by.
Try to pack them into your diet!

I’m not saying we shouldn’t try to tame the “monkey on our back” of bad habits we may have (sugar addiction, too much sun, smoking, etc.)
Yet if we spend the rest of our time devoted to giving our bodies optimal fuel, we increase our chances of neutralizing these “bad habits.”

Make sense?
