Monday Refresh

Good Monday Morning,

Today is the beginning of a new week and you should continue on your journey. If you have fallen off or had a moment of weakness and ate an entire seafood platter plus a cheesecake with two margaritas its okay you can always start over fresh.  Today I want to highlight a few things: apple cider vinegar, calcium supplements, and  quinoa.

Quinoa
1. Pronounced KEEN-WAH
2. 100% whole grain
3. Excellent source of protein (12-18%)
4. Great source of ALL essential amino acids, helps the body to process and create protein. It contains folic acid and vitamin E
5. Great food for those who have to follow a "Gluten-Free" or wheat free diet



Apple Cider Vinegar
1. Completely naturals from the fermentation of apples to a hard cider then fermented some more into a vinegar
2. Soothes sunburns and insect bites
3. Used as a rinse to make your hair shiny
4. Aides in breaking down of fat on certain foods
5. All apple coders are NOT created equal! Make sure you purchase them from a health or while foods store and not Walmart. The others have extra processing or chemicals involved
6. Take 8oz of water and add 1 teaspoon of ACV. Drink once a day!



Calcium Supplements
1. It's positive effects on bone health
2. Liquid calcium is the best source as compared to calcium in the pill form
3. Liquid calcium is absorbed better and  supports digestion and weight loss
4. The average person need 100-1200 mg daily of calcium
5. Purchase the best liquid calcium from health food or whole food stores. Make sure there aren't any extra ingredients involved!
