Monday Morning!

Good morning everyone!
Happy Monday!
Normally I would be having the post Sunday blues right now and dreading the week ahead, but instead… I am excited for the days to come.
Let’s start with what I had for breakfast-

Oatmeal with frozen berries, nuts, and dried cranberries!
I took a QBC, Multivitamin, and a Fish Oil.
It is 11 am and I am still not hungry! This never happens! By now I am ready for a snack, all the protein and just enough carbs though must have done the trick!
What did you have for breakfast?
Are you already planning lunch and dinner? :)

Clean eating is important in keeping your body in perfect health, in order to prevent disease like cancer, and heart disease.

Since type As are especially susceptible to getting cancer in their lifetime, fighting it BEFORE it happens is crucial!

Yoga is so transformational.

Especially for Type As… Type As should not be doing rigorous exercises. Instead, yoga and Tai Chi are recommended for exercise routines.

Note to self: Take photo before you eat… Lunch consisted of- 1/6 of a falafel Greek wrap, spinach and tofu pasta salad, sundried tomato hummus with celery, watermelon, and minestrone soup (from Forks Over Knives). Delicious!

Type A... The BEST Type!

Sun, 20 May 2012 12:05:00 -0400

If you came here looking to find fun recipes, and the adventure of crossing over from a diet full of meat and dairy, to a diet rich in plant based and whole foods… Congratulations, you made it!
If you have type A blood… this is the type of diet you should be on!
If you are type O… no one likes you and please leave now. Just kidding, but really..
We all know, you get to eat all the meat you want and this is all just hogwash to you, blah blah blah.

But Type As are different. Type As are more likely to get cancer than other blood types.

This is because our bodies have less defenses against cancer. This DOESN’T mean you WILL get cancer. However, it does mean that you should feed your body what it needs to be in tip-top shape to work like a well oiled machine.

Our bodies cannot get sick, unless its defenses are down. For type As this means eating meat and large amount of dairy wreck our bodies. Eating a plant based diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and gaining your protein from non animal sources, helps our bodies to defend itself against illness, and disease.

Organically grown is a great option. These vegetables are not harmed with chemicals, raw sewage to ‘fertilize’, or genetically modified. This means you are going to be getting the most for your money when it comes to what you are actually consuming vitamin and mineral wise. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful store located only five minutes from my home that offers great produce, and dairy free options.
