May 3, 2013- Are you still with me?....Enjoying those green smoothies, and fresh veggies?....Are you detoxing with your dog?....WOW, you've made it two whole days, you know not everyone can do that, you should be proud of yourself. Your body is thanking you for treating it so kindly! How do you feel? How are your dogs, my dogs want to know about them as well! I want to know comment below or send me an email, pamelaschm@optonline.net (you can email, Skyler- Candycane- Sandy- or Benji there as well!).
Well today is the last day, yes, Day 3, our time together was short but so beneficial for our health! Okay, let's get this day started.
Breakfast and Lunch: You guessed it! We're continuing the green smoothie way! I hope your enjoying your green smoothies. They are so packed full of vitamins, minerals, fiber. To help keep you nourished, keep you full for hours, and energized as well. Do you feel effects of them? I know after my green smoothie everyday I keep going strong for hours, do not feel hungry for hours, have the energy to last a long time, and know that all the fruits and veggies are nouishing every cell in my body!Dinner: Okay, something a little different today. Have you ever heard of Quinoa?
Quinoa is a grain that provides anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, and heart healthy fats like monosaturated fat. It also has a key mineral, Calcium, providing over twice the calcium that is found in whole wheat. Quinoa has the ability to lower cholesterol and help maintain levels of HDL or good cholesterol. Meanwhile, the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients in quinoa also make it a likely candidate for cancer risk reduction.
That being said, here's a great recipe for tonight:
Ingredients: Quinoa (2 cups)
Carrots (2-3)
Broccoli (1-2 stalks)
Scallions (1-2)
Tomatoes (1-2)
Olive Oil (1-2 tbsps)
Black Pepper (to taste)
Sea Salt (to taste)
Directions: Cook the quinoa (use 2X the amount of water than quinoa when making your quinoa)
While the quinoa is cooking, cut up the carrots, broccoli, scallions, and tomatoes into bite size pieces
Once the Quinoa is finished, and the veggies are chopped, take a pan and heat it on medium.
Add the olive oil to the pan, and add the carrots, the broccoli,the scallions and then add the quinoa.
Add the black pepper and sea salt.
Cook for 2-3 minutes
Remove from heat, and add the chopped tomatoes.
Serve up and Enjoy!
We're working on our insides, but don't forget about our outsides!
*Don't Forget to skin brush, it's a easy way to remove dead skin cells and allow new skin cells to grow and have glowing skin!
Doggie Detox:
We can't forget about our dogs, can we?....Of course not!....Here's the detox for today for our dogs!
Milk Thistle, the milk thistle seed is said to contain the flavoniod silymarin. Which helps to repair damaged liver cells and offers protection to new liver cells. It is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It prevents toxins from damaging liver cells and encouraurages liver cells to create more bile. The increase in bile aids in digestion and nutrient absorption.
It is used as a dried herb or tincture.
*Note- this may interact with some drugs.
Don't forget to brush your dogs. While some dogs should be brushed daily, other weekly, and so forth, brushing your dog will help maintain a healthy coat and remove the dead fur and allow for new healthy fur to grow! (not to mention more control over the fur throughout your house!)
