Have you seen the trailer for the new movie? I stumbled across it on You Tube and began jumping for joy.

At LAST an effort to get the message out!

You are what you eat!

Are you killing yourself with the food choices you make?

Food Matters!

Food Matters is an educational organization based in the UK.

They offer tutorials on every disease process you may be addressing. Educate yourself so you will not be fooled with misinformation and you will feel confident to resist your doctors urge to drug your symptoms without taking action to address cause.

As the “Life Breath Coach” I recommend that my clients supplement their nutrition while they learn what to put in their shopping cart and what to avoid.

Vemma is my supplement of choice because they have a safe track record even with their weight loss line of products!

I’m hearing awesome testimonials of folks getting OFF of drugs for blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar!

This is GOOD stuff!

Nutrition Matters

Many blessings,

Relax and Release tension
Exhale Slowly
Be active in a way that adds Joy to your life

Plus pure water ~whole foods~sunshine~and laughter

When you retain fluid oxygen and vital nutrients can’t get where they need to go!

Fluid retention is such a big problem because the extra water in your system is in the way!

When oxygen and other vital nutrients cant’ get where they need to go, you deteriorate!

If you don’t want your health to fade, watch for signs that you may be retaining water:

When you press your fingernail firmly into your thumb-pad, does it stay deeply dented for more than a second or two
When you press the tip of your finger into the inside of your shinbone, does your nail make a dent?
Do your ankles ever swell?
Does your shoe size increase as you get older?
Do your rings sometimes not fit?
Is your tummy ever tight and swollen?
For women, do you suffer from breast tenderness?
Does your weight fluctuate by several pound within the space of only twenty-four hours?

You should be concerned if you recognize water retention symptoms, even if your doctor isn’t!

Sometimes water retention makes you uncomfortable for a few days to weeks and then it will seemingly subsides and leave you be until the next time it comes to visit.

But did you know that you could be carrying around 20 extra pounds of fluid and NOT EVEN KNOW IT?

That extra fluid is putting a heavy burden on your heart muscle!

Sally had been trying to lose weight for years.

She was very strict with her diet and made sure to exercise 3–5 times every week.

When she saw her doctor, he always said the same thing, ”eat less, exercise more.”

She wondered how in the world she could eat any less, and felt that the doctor must not believe her!

Each week without progress made it that much harder to continue starving and exercising herself.

Does Sally’s story sound familiar?
