Tip of the Week May 25, 2009

Can 409 make you fat?

What if the toxins you are exposed to on a daily basis affect weight loss and a host of health issues?"During this century, we have been exposed to substances that have been shown to cause profound damage to all of the systems involved in weight control." Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton

I am conscious of what I eat (my diet), drink water (1/2 my weight in ounces), and exercised. But my weight would fluctuate. I never thought that the products I used to clean my home and wash my clothes would affect my weight. I was wrong. Here is what I've learned. Chemicals are stored in the fat of the body. Lean muscle mass and less fat = healthy body and ideal weight and less toxins in the body.

By addressing the toxins in my body and home environment, I have been able to maintain my weight and no worries about asthma and allergies.

Tip of the Week

Mother's Day is May 10th. So the tip of the week is for Savvy Moms.

Family is important, in fact top priority. Which would be most likely to describe your view point about setting an example with food in your family:

_____ Do as say not as I do

_____ We are all in this together

_____ Forget the kids it's all about me

If your kids ate like you do, would they get the proper nutrition every day?

_____ Yes ______ No

On the average, what do you think you spend on a monthly basis on products that are totally non nutritional? For example: pop, chips, snacks, Starbucks, Gatorade, candy, fast food

_____ $100 _____ $200 _____ $500

So after reading this and answering these questions, what do you think?
