FACTS 💯

So...
If Red dye #40 kills a plant, what do you think it’s doing to our cells?

Below is a picture of a simple experiment of how different food coloring changes the color of the celery plant.

Well, take notice of the red dye #40...it KILLED the celery plant in just a day! Red dye #40 is in a lot of candy and processed foods, Gatorade, etc. 🤔 and it’s not like the other two are without effect, trust me. Just removing foods with artificial colorings/dyes could substantially change your child’s behavior, mood, hyperactivity, etc.

You would be amazed at how a child's behaviour can change just from cleaning up their diet. We work on being better every day! ☺️

Yum!!!! 🍨

One of my favourite things to eat lately is to sauté a whole organic head of kale, and after 5 to 7 minutes of sautéing it in coconut oil OR you can use grapeseed oil I add nutritional yeast. I eat this several times a day. Kale and nutritional yeast together are amazing. But you’ve got to add quite a bit. I will show you in the comment section how much to add, and it’s packed with b12 vitamin.

Kale is a nutritious food rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K, and beta-carotene. It also contains nutrients that can support eye health, weight management, heart health, and more.
Today I decided to pair it with fried okra. That’s also extremely delicious, fry until borderline crispy. I added Himalayan salt, turmeric, and red chilli flakes absolutely delicious and not to forget I made roti the (bread) I eat this kale so often that I have noticed myself feeling better, and my nails growing stronger and longer 😊

Do you have avocados 🥑 that are ready to eat but you are not ready to eat them. Place them in water completely submerged and put them in the fridge. They will last an extra week and a half to 2 weeks.
Avocados are expensive and this is a great way to keep them fresh!!

Mine and my daughters breakfast. An amazing way to start the day. Same recipe as the post below except this time I blended mangos with almond milk instead of strawberries. Then once you blend your mango chunks with almond milk, you add a couple of tablespoons of Chia seeds stir mix put in the fridge for about 20 minutes to 30 minutes and it will become like a pudding, then I added my coconut plain yoghurt because I try to not do dairy and then I just top it with some sliced bananas and maple syrup. These breakfasts are so packed with nutrients such as omega-3, which are great for the heart. Great for the skin great for your colon great for so much added fiber, and energy!!!

So I posted a video below about pomegranates and how I decided to try the method that girl used and wow it works so well. I always struggle to buy these because I always thought to myself. They’re so hard to get what’s inside. But after this, I am so super happy because it works so well. Follow the video on my previous post works like a charm.
