"An essential amino acid is one that cannot be synthesized by the body, and therefore must be supplied as part of the diet. Humans must include adequate amounts of 9 amino acids in their diet." Victoria Boutenko Award Winning Inspirational Documentary - Reversing the Irreversible Green For Life

Professor T. Colin Campbell, in The China Study, demonstrates how "Chimpanzees maintain a fairly low and constant protein intade, due to their focus on fruit . . ." We have become a society obsessed with "protein". We are by no means becoming an increasing nation of overweight people and not from lack of protein but from too much fat.

Remember it is true that chicken, cheese, other animal products and nuts have protein but what they really are is a fat. Greens are the other hand have very little fat and lots of assumable protein.

By maintaining a diet versed in a variety of leafy greens we can a achieve a diet rich in plenty of protein and essential amino acid. So the next time someone asks you where you get your protein- you can tell them get your protein in greens!

Loving Myself

I love taking myself to yoga. I love being with myself enjoying the few moments loving myself while stretching, breathing, and just being present.

Emotional, Physical, And Mental Awareness

Emotional Awareness: I still feel happy and rushed. I feel I like I would like to calm down and take a moment and remind myself everything is in perfect timing.

Physical Awareness: I am feeling stronger and less like I am retaining water. I think I am getting the extra salt out of my body.
