1. If you’re craving, reach for the chia.

Your body is great at telling you something, especially if you’re deficient in certain minerals or vitamins. Your body can send you on a mission to the kitchen, as you crave foodstuffs that will make up for the particular deficiency.

Unfortunately, this can often lead to you eating the wrong foods and/or too much of the wrong thing, especially if you are on a selective diet of some kind.

Most people hop out of bed in the morning and grab a coffee – often sweetened and thickened with cream – then look around the kitchen for more sweetness, figuring that’s the energy boost they need to start the day.

Unfortunately, for most of us, that craving for “sweet” doesn’t leave much room for vegetables.

Why aren’t we thinking vegetables instead? Perhaps it’s the stress of consuming five or more servings a day – Read More

It soothes the sympathetic nervous system (providing deeper rest), and is essential for the production of amino acids that are critical for virtually every chemical reaction in the body.

If I don’t eat dairy, how do I get enough calcium? You get lots of calcium from various vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables such as kale, as well as broccoli and sesame seeds. Calcium is readily available in many foods. Better yet, these foods are alkaline producing, so the body can actually use the calcium it gets from them.

Dairy products actually do not provide sufficient calcium. The countries with the highest dairy consumption are also the ones with highest osteoporosis levels! Dairy is one of the most acidic foods on the pH scale and calcium is the number one mineral the body uses to buffer against excess acidity.

There is just never enough calcium in any dairy product to offset the acid-producing effect it has. So you actually end up losing calcium when you eat dairy products, not gaining it! Shocking, right? Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to drink your milk in order to get your calcium.

Here are  foods high in calcium that don’t come from a cow: Read More

In order for our bodies to process sugar, it has to rob our reserves of vitamins and minerals. This means sugar is not just an empty calorie substance . . . it’s a sub-zero calorie substance. And this can have devastating effects on your body.

For instance, when our bodies look for nutrients to steal, it targets key minerals such as calcium from the bones and teeth. And since calcium is the primary mineral used to neutralize high acid in the cells, we could be left with “toxic” minerals, because there’s not enough calcium to fight them off.  And it gets worse: This can also lead to calcium becoming toxic resulting in plaque on the teeth, osteoporosis and arthritis, kidney stones, and even hardening of the arteries.
