A New Body in 3 Minutes: Debunking Fitness Selfies

Personal trainer Sophie Kay exposes a number of fitness myths, especially the fantasy surrounding before and after selfies by posting her own. “But when other people are looking at it they may not understand that the photo is not what that person really looks like, but the most perfect representation.”

Health & wellness truly do begin in the mind. It has been said that DISease can not ultimately reside in the body of a person with a 'healthy' thought pattern and a positive mental attitude toward health, wellness & longevity. 😉 (The book passage in the picture is from 'The Food for Life Cookbook' by Dr. Baruch @everlastinglife_md)

So I threw 4 very ripe, frozen #bananas, 2 pieces of fresh #ginger root, 2 cups of unsweetened #flaxmilk & several ice cubes into the old @vitamix & came out with the creamy goodness that you see before your eyes.....one of the best, frozen #smoothie treats a girl could have on a #Saturday night! Almost tastes like vanilla bean ice cream without all the crap! 😍 👍 #HealthAdvo #wholefoods #nutrition #diet #wellness #health #eattolive #fruits #tastytreats #eatclean #prevention #noadditives #nopreservatives #goodeats

#ChiaSeeds are such a powerful #superfood! Rich in #antioxidants, vitamin C, #calcium, #fiber....the list goes on! They are in heavy rotation in my kitchen. 😁 I use them in my #smoothies, #buckwheat cereal, #yogurt, #salads, etc. Have you tried them? #HealthAdvo #nutrition #prevention #foodasfuel #foodasmedicine #eattolive #eatclean #foodie #wellness #health #healingfoods #newvegan #vegansofinstagram #vegansofig #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #gogetyousome 😉

What’s a “powerhouse” fruit or vegetable?

Yes indeed! I have decided to go #vegan! I have been a self-described #pescatarian for quite some time now (almost 10 years). This simply meant that I was a non-dairy, fish-eating, #vegetarian.....😏 I've become a bit more health conscious lately as far as my food is concerned. So, I decided to put it to the test & go without the #fish & #eggwhites for a while & you know what? I feel absolutely wonderful! My energy level is EVEN HIGHER, my bowels are functioning that much better (I know that might be a little T.M.I. but it's worth noting!😜), my eyes & skin appear to be clearer as well. I am guessing that as time goes on, I'll see even more benefits of eating a diet of #veggies, #fruits & some #grains. So, now I join the ranks of the #vegansofinstagram & I wish I'd done it sooner! Yay for me!!!🙌 #HealthAdvo #wellness #health #nutrition #prevention #fitchick #fitfam #igfam #instagram #IG #vegansofig #diet #plantpowered #plantbased #newvegan #goodstuff #illgetplentyofprotein #dontworry #gogetyousome #enlightened

"The effects of human-induced climate change are being felt in every corner of the United States, scientists reported Tuesday, with water growing scarcer in dry regions, torrential rains increasing in wet regions, heat waves becoming more common and more severe, wildfires growing worse, and forests dying under assault from heat-loving insects."

This week a new study came out showing a 30 percent increase in type 2 diabetes in children since 2001. This is completely preventable, and it is criminal. Now one in four teenagers has pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes and one in 10 kids has a fatty liver and many have cirrhosis from drinking soda and eating sugar.

A very eye-opening read from KevinMD’s blog, by Pamela Wible, MD.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With just hours to spare, Congress stepped Monday to finalize legislation to prevent doctors who treat Medicare patients from being hit with a 24 percent cut in their payments from the government.
