Fruits and Vegetables

It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check.
However, fruits and vegetables are loaded with pesticides. Pesticides are unique among the chemicals we released into the environment; they have inherent toxicity because they are designed to kill living organisms-insects, plants and fungi that considered "pests." Because they are toxic by design, many pesticides pose health risks to people, risks that have been acknowledged by independent research scientists and physicians across the world.
It is estimated that the average American meal travels about 1500 miles to get from farm to plate. In order to transport food long distances, much of it is picked while still unripe and then gassed to "ripen" it after transport, or it is highly processed in factories using preservatives, irradiation and other means to keep it stable for transport and sale.
I am grateful there is always a solution. My favorite Isagenix Greens and IsaFruits. Isagenix Greens is packed with nutrient-rich plants,balanced formula of specific herbs, vegetables and antioxidants, vitamin E, three forms of Vitamin C and prebiotics. All there to fortify the immune health, promote a healthy digestive system and creates a cleaner internal environment boosting overall health. While the IsaFruits meets your daily fruit requirement. One scoop is equivalent to 30 amazing fruits. I have them everyday. Perfect blended with my shakes and mix with water on my cleanse days.

Producing with ease and connecting with family.

I was not looking forward to this weekend. My husband is off to Tucson, Arizona to visit his mom and dad. It turned out fun weekend anyway. Friday night, just before I start watching a movie with my daughter. I got a call. It was my friend Nemia inquiring about Isagenix. After which, we got started with the movie. The next day, Saturday, my cleanse day. On days I am cleansing, I want to make it very relaxed and spiritual. But there is one problem, I couldn't get my mind off food. Suddenly, all kinds of food seem very tempting. So, I decided I will keep myself busy. I made a production day. A day for me to connect and share Isagenix. Perfect as the day was. I received an email from Isagenix letting me know my co-worker signed up for a nutritional cleanse program. Yes! That was an awesome news. I love coaching people to cleansing. I know this way I am fulfilling my mission of helping one person at a time taking their health to the next level. Then the phone rings. Nemia who called last night about Isagenix, is asking more questions about Isagenix. After I got all her questions answered, again I got an email from Isagenix that she signed up. Saturday was just such a great day. I am so grateful. It feels good knowing you have the privilege to help other people and they are giving you a chance to do so. Now come Sunday. Thanks to Facebook, I got to connect with relatives I have not spoken with for ages. I got to talk to my cousin Homer, Auntie Meding and Uncle Tim. I had a wonderful time connecting with them. The only sad part was my uncle. Turns out my Uncle Tim was in bad shape. He has stage 4 pancreatic cancer. My aunt was okay except for her diabetes. She said it is under control, she just hates the fact she has to take so many medications. So, immediately, I introduced them to Isagenix with all hopes it would help them both a great deal and hopefully it is not too late for Uncle Tim. My aunt said it happened so fast. They just found out last April. There were no symptoms. One day he got very sick. Then they found out he has cancer and it was already stage 4. It's devastating to hear this happening to someone you know and care about. Just the more reason we need to make our health the first priority. If you don't have your health, what have you got? Hopefully, they will be open to nutritional cleansing because I know it can help.
