SPRING INTO ACTION TELECLASS CALL ARCHIVE April 7, 2010

Call #7   5/24- What is sugar?  How does your body deal with it?  Why is it addictive?  What can you do to control it’s effects on your body?  It is part one of a 2 part call.

call 7- sugar part 1

CALL #6   5/17-  this call was essentially about crowding out the bad foods by incorporating more healthy foods, in particular, eating more dark leafy greens.   You noticed during your cleanse that a lot of cravings that you used to have were eliminated and that it was in part because you simply avoided certain foods altogether.  Wether you are continuing on a strict cleansing cycle or have moved into maintenance, you probably want to know how you can continue having a good relationship with food without getting off track with your goals.  This call will help you with that. In addition, I review two Isagenix products, the Greens and IsaFruits, that also work to crowd out less healthy foods and are an essential supplement to any diet.  Are you getting 3-5 servings of fruits and 3-5 servings of vegetables every day?

call 6- Greens, glorious greens

CALL #4  5/3-  On this call you will learn how to identify which foods are better for fueling your body and which foods leave you unsatisfied.  With mindful eating practices along with planning and logging your meals you can determine what works well for you.  Take a look at this link for the My body Food Log and get a report card on micronutrient balance and nutrition profile for your meals.

RENEWAL AND BALANCE: Why Everyone Needs to Detoxify March 13, 2010

In an ideal world our food would nourish us and give us the nutrition we need to replenish our systems.  But since the world is far from ideal, our bodies need much higher levels of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants just to cope with our toxic environment.  The food we eat is for the most part “mass manufactured” and compared to 50 or 100 years ago, depleted in essential minerals, vitamins and may have genetically modified aspects which are very foreign to our bodies. Getting adequate nutrition from our depleted foods is simply not enough.

Here are 8 other reasons why cleansing is important:

• Many people eat non-foods like MSG, saccharine, nutrisweet, splenda, artificial colorants and flavors which put stress on our systems.
• Almost all foods have pesticides, chemicals (PCB’s, Dioxins), and Fluorides which come into our bodies each day.
• Most meats have antibiotic, hormone, and chemical residues.
• Most fish have mercury and chemical residues.
• Even if we are drinking purified water, most of us shower in water that is full of chemicals, or sit in Jacuzzi’s or swimming pools that are full of chemicals that enter our system every day that must be dealt with.
• Our foods are contaminated with phthalates from plastic wraps, Styrofoam, Tupperware, and non-stick coatings from fry pans which enter our system.
• Our clothes, mattresses, and sheets, are full of chemicals, flame retardants, preservatives, and anti-fungals which enter our bodies through the skin.
• Our air is full of carbon monoxide, petrochemicals, lead, mercury, plastics fumes, etc. which enter our bodies when we breathe.

Thus to flourish we must supplement and consume more foods that are naturally detoxifying.  Click here to learn more about my 12-week Spring into Action Cleansing and Renewal program.  And Click here to learn what foods you should be eating more of, and which ones you should be eating less often.
