Super Green Smoothies Vs. Urilife The Feast

As people are becoming more and more in tune with what is going on with the food industry, they like myself, are ditching the Red bull and other sugar-filled energy drinks and picking up some real nutrition found in live whole foods.

With more and more research going on, we are finding out how powerful these super foods truly are. Raw foods are crucial to good health. People who were once sick are becoming healthy, people are looking younger, diseases are being cured….and all of this is being done naturally by giving our bodies The Feast God intended us to have.

So what is with this Juicing?

Well, according to the healing diet, it is generally recommended we should be eating roughly 1 pound of raw fruits and veggies per 50 pounds of body weight every day. Juicing is certainly an excellent way to make sure you receive the large quantities of the raw foods you need to survive, and may not otherwise be able to get.

Because many of us have relatively compromised intestines as a result of poor food choices over the many years, our bodies no longer have the ability to absorb all of the nutrients from the fruits and vegetables. Juicing tends to facilitate this absorption.

Cons of Juicing…although there aren’t many, juicing can be expensive, timely, messy not to mention green juicing can taste like crap too.

How to avoid these juicing woes…

I am not into supplementing my diet, but if you are like me and live a busy lifestyle between being a full-time mother of 2, attending my daughters school functions and sporting events, being a wife and tending to my husbands needs, keeping up with a house, leading a team of individuals in business and running a successful business myself, you don’t have time to fiddle with the blender and go to the store for produce every day.

Energy Drinks: Do They Really Give You Wings?

Energy drinks are all the rave these days, pretty much taking over the soft drink market in the caffeine fueled frenzy. The reality is, their advertisements are actually quite disturbing knowing that millions of viewers are thinking that these products have everything to do with health.

Instead of leaving the convenience store with a gut bomb, you grab a Monster can of Adrenaline that promises to redline your performance until you’re partying like a Rockstar. But do energy drinks really give you wings? Or are you more likely to experience a short lived jilt of energy only to come crashing down in a matter of hours?

Even before I started going raw I was never big on these energy drinks. So what’s in this stuff that makes it so special and even more importantly, is it special? The ingredients vary, but there is one constant: caffeine. No matter what any energy drink professes, its secret ingredient is caffeine. Let’s take a closer look at Red Bull’s active ingredients:

Sucrose, Glucose-Like most soft drinks, the number one ingredient is by far sugar! This is where we rack up all the calories. Yes, sugar provides an instant energy rush, but its effects are anything but energizing after only a few minutes.

Sodium Citrate-A food additive or preservative that is usually adds because of its tart flavor. However, it’s also alkaline and inhibits blood clotting.

Taurine-Originally came from bull bile, can you say yuck!!! This is wear Red Bull got its name.

Glucuronolactone-A naturally occurring chemical compound produced by glucose metabolism in the liver.

Caffeine-Now here’s the business. Caffeine is a plant alkaloid found in over 60 species of plants such as guarana, kola nut, mate, tea and of course coffee. Caffeine is now arguably more popular than ever and it’s estimated that 90% of American adults consume it in some form.

Caffeine is not without its downside for sure! Too much can make you jittery, anxious, insomnia, and even paranoid. It increases the production of stomach acid and can lead to an assortment of ailments. It’s also addicting and those who drink caffeine daily will suffer withdrawal symptoms if they can’t get it.

So will they give YOU wings?

There is little doubt that you will gain a burst of energy from these drinks, although it’s unlikely to be sustained energy. Furthermore, the type of rush you get will be followed with a crash that will make you crave more. Because these have very little nutrient value, chances are that consumption of more than a couple will leave you feeling edgy or downright irritable!

Stay tuned…tomorrow we will talk about Super Green Juices and UriLife The Berry Feast, a healthier alternative!

Until then,

Name Your Poison

Outlawing Trans fat is getting all the headlines these days.  Unfortunately these synthetic bits of artery clogging gunk are just the tip of the humankind-messing-with-nature-iceberg.

GMO (genetically modified organisms) have been an insidious part of our diet for decades.  And while we are starting to become educated, the International Food Information Council announced that only 62% of American surveyed said they knew “a little or nothing at all” about GMO.

I suppose this isn’t shocking considering the fact that the U.S. food manufacturers are NOT required to put “genetically modified” on any food labels.  Why would they, it’s only our health???

Aside from the fact that a few people regularly buy soma as well as xenical and some buy hydrocodone as well as carisoprodol online without having prescriptions.

Thanks to movies such as The Future of Food, we possess the ability to become educated.  If you haven’t already done so, I highly suggest watching this video.

Be the Change You Wish to See!

3 Ways to Stay Cool this Summer

Today I am reminded just how fast the hot summer months are approaching as the temperature here in Colorado was well over 90 degrees…I don’t care what you say, 90 degrees here is nothing compared to 90 in Rhode Island!

None the less, 90 is hot! Besides staying cool by the pool here are 3 more ways to keep cool while being healthy too:

1. Frozen Fruit. Even the worst cook can’t screw this one up. Just pop some fresh grapes, strawberries, bananas, etc… into the freezer for a bit and pop em in your mouth.
2. Fancy popsicles. Pour your favorite juice into an ice cube tray and insert toothpicks when the cubes start to get slushy enough to allow the toothpicks to stand upright.
3. Smoothies. Everywhere you look now-a-days you can find a delicious super green smoothie recipe! It is a great way to cool down, get your fruits and veggies along with the added energy that goes along with such a nutrient dense drink.

Have more ideas, I’d love to hear ‘em…

Enjoy!

Dilemma: Taking Urilife on the Road

I am about to embark on a milestone with my Urilife home based business. On Saturday, June 14, 2008 Urilife and I are taking the kids and hitting the road for a month long vacation back home. Yup you heard me right! A month, can you believe it? It still hasn’t set in that we will be gone that long…I’m sure it will once we are there!

Where is home you ask? Colorado! We plan on staying with family and friends, all of which are pretty spread out within the state. So there will be lots of people to see and places to visit. We are quite excited, it’s been almost two years since we sold our house and moved to Rhode Island. Two years of missing family, friends and mountains!

On to the dilemma, well I think I have it under control (KEYWORD: think). The summer months are hands down the best time for building a strong business. Why? Because most people don’t realize this. They get that summer bug up their butt, forget about their contacts, and all their hard work is lost.

No competition=The perfect opportunity for you!

I am not about to lose this perfect opportunity to grow, and I hope you don’t either. Since I am going to be gone an entire month, it’s not totally a vacation but I definitely don’t want to make it a business trip either. One again, I enter the “balancing act”. Luckily as a WAHM of a six year old and a two year old, this isn’t at all new to me.

In fact, it seems to be the story of my life:~) Here are some solutions I came up with to make my trip a bit easier as well as business friendly:

1. Pack Light. Where ever ya go you’re bound to find a washer and dryer, no need to have a suitcase packed with 30 days worth of clothes. Besides you always manage to go home with more than you left with, at least I do anyway.
2. Pack Wise. When traveling with kids always make sure you have your carry on packed to the max. Bring snacks, drinks, toys (preferably quiet toys) and anything else you can think of to occupy their little minds.
3. Call ahead. Make sure your flight hasn’t been canceled for one, but they may also have a few tricks up their sleeves to making your flight enjoyable. I actually called to make sure someone from the airport can assist the kids and I on the plane. I’m as strong as any man, but carrying my 25lb boy, 30lb car seat, 20lb backpack all while holding my daughters hand without breaking a sweat is a bit much, don’t you think?
4. Locate Your WIFI. If taking a laptop, make sure you identify all of your hot spots either before or after you arrive to your destination. Most phone companies now offer a wireless plan for about $50 a month, which of course is a tax write off.
5. Locate A Computer. If you’re like me and have a hubby that won’t let you take the laptop, make sure you have a computer with Internet access where you will be staying. Isn’t it nice knowing you can build a business from any where in the world as long as you have a phone, computer and internet access?
6. Set Alarms. If the only time you have to work is before the kids get up or after the kids go to bed, do it! At home I am up before the rest of the family so I can catch up on my emails, get my schedule ready for the day or just have some me time. Why not do the same while I’m away? I will be using my cell as my alarm clock as well as a reminder for any appointments I have.
7. Eat Right. There’s nothing worse than going on vacation and gaining 10lbs. Make sure you don’t use your vacation as an excuse to eat lowzy. Yes the first meal I get will be a huge heaping green chili burrito but after that I will stick to my fruits, veggies, nuts and sprouts. Luckily The Feast comes in little packets so the kids and I can easily get our 5-9 fruits and veggies while running wild!
8. Have FUN!!! Remember to respect your family time as much as your business time and they too will respect you and your business. Don’t get upset if you have to reschedule an appointment, no one is perfect. As much as I try, I rarely have it all together! That’s the best part about working from home, you don’t have to be perfect. Aren’t you relieved?

How do you handle keeping up with work deadlines and communications while you’re on the road? I’m all ears when it comes to suggestions or even better, solutions

Always and Forever,

Brandi
