Say NO! to HFCS!

TopNov0801-001Just say NO to High Fructose Corn Syrup!

It’s easy to find on many labels.  Soda, juices, ketchup, jam, syrup, etc…You’ll be surprised how many foods have HFCS listed on their ingredient list. !

TopNov0801-002Converting to a NO High Fructose Corn Syrup home isn’t as hard as you expect, and is necessary for good health. 

It’s time to start reading labels!

Always consult with your doctor if you feel discomfort.  A good rule of thumb when performing any stretch, stop if it’s painful.  The stretches above are just a guideline.  Talk you your chiropractor to find out what stretches are best for your body.

Green Drinks

I love Dr. Oz. 

I think I’ll try this green drink he talks about.  mango-spinach-smoothie2

  • 2 apples (cored, but leave the skin on them)
  • 2 BIG handfuls of spinach
  • 1 medium cucumber
  • 3 ribs/sticks of chopped celery (if you’re using Vita-mix, you only need to cut the celery rubs into thirds)
  • 1/2 inch or teaspoon ginger root, peeled
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Use a juicer to combine the above ingredients.

Enjoy!
