• Have the Guts to be beautiful?

  • From: OwnerResources
  • Description:

    Do You Have the Guts to Be Beautiful is a book we are featuring on Great Resources!
    Click the book to visit the Great Resources Profile and  purchase today! Available on CD or book.

    Here is a note from the authors:
    In my new book, Do You Have the Guts to be Beautiful?, I discuss that much like the food and drug industries, the beauty industry is full of false information about what's "healthy". Dr. Jennifer Daniels, a Harvard educated MD, is working with me and has shared her secrets to maintaining or regaining youthful skin. She and I start every morning with a Green Drink, and I'd like to invite you to try it.
     
    Dr. Daniels and I both use a Vita-mix, which is a super-powered blender that can puree whole foods, including skins, stems, stalks, and other bits that are nutrient dense. However, this can also be made in a food processor or regular kitchen blender. The recipe is open to experimentation -- try other greens and fruits as well. I like using frozen banana, and frozen red, seedless grapes. Also, it helps to use chilled, filtered water. Making it cold makes it taste better and stay fresh longer. You can refrigerate up to 24 hours, but I like to drink it when it's at its most fresh.
     
    Makes 1 Serving

    • 3 large kale leaves, chopped
    • 2 bananas-very ripe, frozen or fresh
    • 1 fleshy fruit chopped (apricot, peach, mango, pear, etc), frozen or fresh
    • 1/4c flax seeds
    • 1 tsp whole milk thistle seeds

       

    • Enough filtered water to make it as liquid as you like

    Put flax and milk thistle in blender. Blend until powder-like. Add one cup of water and continue blending. Add fruits and vegetables, then slowly add additional water while blending. Blend until liquefied, or until smoothie has reached desired consistency.

    What we eat and how we look are closely linked.  We are what we eat!  Smooth, soft, skin, for example, is an indicator of radiant health that starts with nutrition and works it's way out to create our external beauty.  The state of our hair, eyes, nails, etc are all indicators of our body's wellness.  Through the consumption of more fresh fruits and vegetables in smoothies, soups, and other recipes that use whole foods, we are able to positively affect our looks by revitalizing our health.  Using a Vita-mix streamlines the means to make a healthy diet a reality in our busy lives as it bridges a much-needed divide between our diet and our good looks.  -Dr. Mitra Ray

    Hi Guys. 

    I started my journey with Green Smoothies and my Vita Mix a little over two months ago.  As of yesterday I have lost 16 pounds and still love green leafy veggies , fruit and nuts and seeds.  My blood sugar count has never been better. I have also found the goji berries to be great in my salads.

      Hello I am a cancer survivor who is trying to juice to get over radiation.  I ordered my Vita Mix in July and they screwed up my finances and then I got it after we sorted them out.  when it came it had a scratched DVD.  I called and they sent another.  It was scratched too.  I still don't have a working DVD so can't do all the machine is supposed to do.  Barb Hezel sent me a card asking me to contact her so I wrote a polite email on 8/23.  No answer.  I wish I could be amongs the happy users but need the instructions!  LOL

• Dr. Bob Visits Vita-Mix

    Dr Bob Visits Vita-Mix

    

    "We love our new Vita-Mix and we believe in its benefits so much"- Dr Bob DeMaria and wife Debbie on their Vita-Mix machine!

    Dr. Bob is a local Chiropractor in the Cleveland area who also actively promotes how the power of whole foods can help you live a healthier life.

    "I have to tell you that this is one of the most diversified pieces of home equipment that I have ever had the opportunity to use. Our bodies need and desire whole food nutrients to operate at one-hundred percent efficiency." Dr. Bob

     We have been programmed by the fast food industry, the package food conglomerates and instant packagers that you can 'have it your way" - just pop it in the microwave and you're on your way. Do you really think all those instant foods are promoting health? Dr Bob says 95% of all disease conditions can be prevented and/or corrected just by changing one's diet. Dr. Bob has previously visited with Vita-Mix employees as part of our wellness program to teach us about eliminating processed foods.

    Here's a look at Dr. Bob in our kitchen!

    
    Dr Bob teaches based on the Hippocrates saying

    "Let Food be Your Medicine - and Medicine be Your Food". Actually, chiropractors everywhere are beginning to teach this to their clients as they have testified to the changes they have seen in their own client base. Many of these Chiropractors are also members of our Affiliate Program and promote the Vita-Mix machine to all of their  clients.

• Papa Barnard Movie did it....

  • From: ScottDavis
  • Description:

    I down loaded the Papa Barnard Movie and watched it last night...  Now I have wanted a Vita-Mix since the early '70s, when I first saw a demonstration at the State Fair. Almost 40 years latter I still want one and still can't afford a new one. However, I found a 2200 sidewinder at a yard sale and bought it for $20, but it came with only the hardware, no instructions, manual or recipes. It seems to work fine and if I can use it I might be able to convince my wife that it is worth while to buy a new one... So I have questions... like "Can it do the same recipes that are in the new book?"

    But after watching the old demonstration (and Papa was using an Evan older unit than mine)i came away with a better understanding of how good even the vintage machines were... There are somethings which I do think I'll stay away from, at least until i get more info...

    I've had the 2200 for over two weeks now and haven't used it for fear of doing something i shouldn't... BUT,  Papa Barnard Movie did it.... so today I started my journey on a healthier life..... Oh nothing fancy, I'm just a beginner... I went to the store and bought some fruits and vegetables.... some I've never eaten before... and what an experience... How do you pike out good Kiwis or Mango's ??? LOL... the produce lady was very sympathetic and gave me a few lessons.. No I didn't spend a lot of money, I consider myself frugal, about $10.00 worth...

    Papa Barnard Movie did it.... So did I...... I tried a very simple one for my first try today, a Mango Smoothie, 1 fresh mango, 1 orange 1 vanilla.Blueberry yogurt 1/2 dozen ice cubes and a little water.... Place all ingredients in Vita-Mix container  Run for 60 second...... My bots a fun watching me work on a mango for the first time... first i peeled it, not too bad... then... i tried to get the seed out.... OMG... maybe I should have peeled it last... juice was every where.. I even got squirted in the eye... ended up slicing it a peace at a time off the seed into the container (at this time the boys are ROFLMAO.........) But finally ( about 5 minutes with my bumbling) everything was in... Sense this unit has a reverse, and I remember some demise i saw when i was younger, I ran the unit for 30 seconds forward hi, the reverse on hi for 20seconds, then 10 hi forward.... IT WAS VERY GOOD...........;-)
