Pumpkin Heart

Hi everyone!


    Today’s juice is based around squash.  I had everything in the house for this particular juice, which is why I chose it … if you were wondering. 


{you can see my juice HERE}


     Squash Action: Antioxidant and anticancer. 

     Squash Uses: Vitamin A.

     Buying & Storing Squash: Keep whole and in a cold and moist place or in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator.  Squash may be stored up to one month.

     For Juicing: Scrub and remove stem.  Juice the seeds {anticancer}.  Juice the skin if not too think and waxy.

Enjoy!

Coconut Water

Hi everyone!


    While I was in Costa Rica I had my first coconut!!  When I came home to the states I was hoping I would find a company that makes yummy coconut water!  {During the US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach I tried some coconut water, yuck!! They almost had me to the point of never trying it again} 

Have you ever had a fresh coconut? 

     Coconut Water contains electrolytes such as Na, K, Ca, Ph and Mg.  I like the fact that coconut water contains natural sugars and no refined sugars.  I am not telling you to drink coconut water as an alternative to plain old water.  It is smart to drink water throughout the day BUT {in my opinion} coconut water is a very good alternative to juices and sports drinks! 

What coconut water brands do you drink?

I like ZICO :)

  

{Hydrate with ZICO Coconut Water}

     Coconut Water Action: May aid in digestion and metabolism. 

     Coconut Water Uses: May naturally help to prevent intestinal gas, ease digestive upsets, ease nausea, remove toxins, enhance absorption of nutrients in the digestive tract,  balance acid levels in the system {ZICO pH of 5}, alleviate symptoms of kidney stones, alleviate urinary tract infections and dysentery.

     Buying & Storing ZICO: “ZICO bottle is recyclable and in fact, 30% of the bottle is made from recycled content. Currently almost 40% of HDPE bottles are recycled in America today.  {High Density Polyethylene - BPA is not used in HDPE bottles}.  Although cartons are made from paperboard, a completely renewable and stable source of materials, only 20% of recycling centers can process cartons in the US.”

PowerBlock

Hi everyone!

     What do you use for weighted exercises?  I am recently no longer using my gym membership.  I was debating about purchasing some weights.  After a little research I realized I would be spending a lot of money for a handful of weights and a stand! Yikes!  I noticed that BodyRock uses a product called PowerBlock.  I figured it was a smart investment and I opted for these.  I did not want to pay for shipping so I researched some local retail stores inventories.  Luckily I found some close by!!

I ended up purchasing the U-33 Stage 1
