Tatiana, our nutritionist, and I, gave an amazing workshop last night on JUICING- everybody loved it. Everyone enjoyed 3 different juices, made right there on the spot. Let me know if you are interested in the next one. Here is the recipe for Tatiana's Super Green Smoothie:

1 cup kale

1/2 ripe avocado, peeled

1/2 cup green seedless grapes

1 orange, peeled and sliced

1/2 organic green apple, sliced

1 cup pineapple, fresh or frozen

1/2 lemon, juiced

Sprig of mint

dash of cayenne pepper

1 cup coconut water

BLEND IN HIGH SPEED BLENDER

Health and wellness is empowering.

Sickness and disease are passive.

Health and wellness requires proactivity.

Sickness and disease takes your power away.

So you have to create your health and wellness.

Join our JUICING WORKSHOP, Thursday at 8PM

Everyone wants to be healthy- but ask someone what it means? Ask 10 people and you might get 10 different answers.
Many people will say something related to feeling good. Is that it??? So here are a few fun facts:

1- in more that 50% of heart attacks, the first sign of not feeling good was the heart attack itself!
2- according to the World Health Organization, we rate number 38 of the worlds nations in the category of health
3- The USA spends MORE per person, than any nation on the planet on health.

Something is wrong with this picture!!! If you owned a sports team, spent more than any other owner and ended up in 38th place, you'd fire somebody! You'd fire everybody!!! So what do we do? What would you do? I would like to hear from you- and I don't believe the answer is political.

When I googled the definition of Wellness, this is what I got:

the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, especially as the result of deliberate effort.

The 2 concepts that jump right out are "healthy" and "deliberate effort." I'm going to undertake healthy in a future post, but deliberate effort says to me that Wellness must be made as a specific goal, and worked towards- that it's not just going to come down the road and bite you in the tush.

We should all be asking ourselves right about now

What am I doing TODAY in my deliberate effort towards Wellness???

What should we learn from Neuroplasticity? That the HEALTH &WELLNESS of our brains is in our hands.

And so it is true with the entiretyl of our health and wellness- it's up to us. So are you going to be that person

that waits until your brain is mush to try and start building some new brain connections? Are you going to wait until

your body is mush to try and get healthy?

Make health your goal, don't wait until you are sick- BE PROACTIVE.
