The Toxins We Feed Our Body
Our body is a temple and what we put into our temple ultimately determines our quality of life. But, this isn't just true when it comes to the food we eat but also what we feed our minds and spirit and that's what this piece represents. On one end we have the daily toxins we absorb through processed foods, unsafe prescription drugs, and social media. These are the things that break our mind, body, and spirit down over time the more we indulge in them which eventually dim our lives. And the freighting part is we aren’t always aware of what seems bad at first. Prescription drugs in moderation can help us feel better, social media in moderation can help us keep in contact with family and friends but even simple things like this can become toxic if we over indulge and aren’t mindful on how they can impact our lives.

What I Eat in a Day to Stay Healthy. Top Story - August 2017.

I didn’t do one of those crazy diets or use weight-loss pills. I simply changed my diet, went to the gym more and most importantly, was consistent. I definitely didn’t see results right away—it took a few months—but once my clothes starting fitting better, I wanted to keep going.

Plant Based Lifestyle–One Year Later

My Go-To Morning Infusion Can Increase Our Lifespan
When my doctor finally (for the first time in my life) told me that I was doing something good with my daily routine, it shocks me, especially because this was about the amount of coffee I'm drinking. "Three cups a day is totally fine, just keep the same amount every day," he said, and immediately after that, I needed to find out why he didn't ask me to at least reduce the number of cups a day.
