Back to School – For GIRLS, Part 4

Remember what I mentioned before about being what you eat? Well, when it comes to hormones, you really, really are. What to eat lots of: Fruits and Veggies, Leafy greens, Whole grains. Endocrine disrupters: Soda [sugar AND chemical sweeteners], Dairy [concentrated cow hormones—we definitely do NOT any added hormones floating around in there!]. I would challenge anyone facing any hormone issues to avoid completely soda and dairy for 1 week. Let us know how it goes! Your hormones will thank you.

Back to School Germs: How to PREVENT illness, Part 5

You are what you eat, sort of. Do eat lots of fruit. Do eat lots of veggies. Do eat lots of leafy greens. Do eat a variety of food with a rainbow of nutrients. Do eat fresh produce in season. Do snack on all of the above. I like to set a bowl of cut up carrots or apples on the table for my kids [and me] to snack on all day. If it’s there, they will eat it.
