FUN FACT FRIDAY!!
Why did the garbage truck break down? It had too much junk in the trunk!

Did you know that garbage can pile up in our bodies, as well, causing a breakdown in our cells? This cellular garbage includes stressors such as nutritional deficiencies or excesses, metabolic imbalances, hypoxia (i.e. low blood oxygen), oxidative stress from free radicals, environmental toxins, viruses, infections, automimmune diseases, aging, and more. That's the bad news.

The good news is that our amazing bodies have a built-in trash disposal, a divine design called autophagy, to help us get rid of cellular garbage and repair damaged cells by recycling parts! Is that cool, or what? I could go on and on, but, I won't!
Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a key that turns on the power of autophagy, providing so many positive health benefits by combatting the stressors listed above. This process is one of the important aspects of the Juice Plus Shred10 Program, designed by Dr. Mitra Ray, that helps get our bodies back in balance. Check out the following video to learn the specific guidelines and more. player.vimeo.com/video/234677211

Below is a quick explanation of how IF works. If you have any questions, feel free to put them in the chat.

Here's some motivation for you!! It's never too late to start exercising, eating right, and taking care of your health!

85-Year-Old Bodybuilder Is Motivating Others To Start Exercising Ernestine Shepard, 85, began working out in her 50s and has since become a bodybuilder. She tells TODAY what keeps her motivated to stay fit and first steps ...

Plant foods are nutrient dense, full of phytonutrients, which are powerful antioxidants, as well as vitamins and minerals. Plants are powerhouses of nutrition that serve to neutralize free radicals, turn off inflammation, optimize beneficial gut bacteria, increase energy production, and prevent the development of disease! Variety is key. According to the CDC, only 1 in 10 adults get the recommended 9-13 servings of fruits and veggies every day. Adolescents and younger children fall short as well.Bottom line is that what we eat matters. No one is perfect, but it’s important to be mindful to up our intake and begin a journey to better health. I’m in, how about you? Posted withregram • “As tempting as it may be to blame our current health challenges on fate, genetics, or cellular damage from poor eating habits we learned from our parents, the truth is that diet is the largest factor that determines our health destiny. ”

Great advice! Itt’s so important to eat nutrient-rich plant foods every day, every day, every day! 🥦🥬🍓🍎. They contain powerful phytonutrients proven to strengthen your immune system. Can I say awesome sauce!

On the polar opposite, heavily processed junk/fast foods offer little nutritional value and are often full of sugar and chemical additives such as preservatives, artificial colors/flavors, and other synthetic substances that our bodies aren’t designed to process. Over time, this issue increases your risk of negative health outcomes.

It’s so hard to give them up, right? The trick is to start consuming your favorite junk food as an occasional indulgence instead of a staple. You may even enjoy it even more!

Please take time to listen and join in the fight to get the truth. We need to hold the people and organizations responsible for misinformation accountable! Our children, our freedoms, our economy, and our entire nation are at stake.

CDC Investigation - Stand for Health Freedom In March 2020, the CDC abruptly changed how death certificates were recorded. While this might seem like a mere formality, the CDC only made this change for one type of death — COVID-19 — and circumvented multiple federal laws to do so.

Your brain on exercise performs so much better. Exercise improves memory, learning, and concentration. Vigorous exercise is a better antidepressant than Prozac. Exercise creates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDMF), which is basically miracle grow for your brain. When you exercise, your brain becomes more elastic. Exercise also helps to improve your mood, boost your energy, and reduce overall stress in your body and mind.⁣ ⁣ In fact, if I could put something in a pill that would reverse almost every chronic disease, it would be exercise. If exercise could be put in a pill, it would be the biggest blockbuster medication of all time. ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately, nearly half of Americans live a sedentary lifestyle and 88 percent don’t get enough exercise. No wonder we have an epidemic of broken brains and broken bodies!⁣ ⁣ If you’re having trouble getting started, you can fit in exercise with these three strategies:⁣ ⁣ Make it a priority and think ahead. Human nature dictates that we are more likely to exercise if we’ve made it easy for ourselves. Get your sneakers out of the closet, choose whatever clothing you’ll be most comfortable in for walking, and make sure it’s clean and accessible. Let’s get the obstacle of preparation out of the way so you’re ready to lace up and go.⁣ ⁣ Do it first thing in the morning. We all know how easily pushing exercise to the back burner and subsequently neglecting it can become. Do your daily exercise first thing in the morning to jump-start your metabolism and set your day on the right course.⁣ ⁣ Make it fun. Getting into great shape doesn’t mean hours at the gym, plodding along on elliptical machines or suffering through classes led by punishing drill-sergeant instructors. While I hate to exercise, I love to play. I find different things that keep me fit. I encourage you to explore all the fun things you may enjoy and safe exercise for those times when you just can’t find a way to play on your own or with someone else. Vary up your routine and above all, make it fun.⁣
