The Smoothie Diet

Day 2- Blueberry Tart There’s nothing as healthy as a great looking smoothie packed with fresh seasonal produce. Blueberries and cranberries are what your body needs to get rid of illegal drugs, toxins , medications, and alcohols that build up over time. The combination of blueberries, cranberries and fresh lettuce results in a fresh delicious smoothie with a purple bursting color and a tropical taste from lime. Cranberries are vital for supporting the urinary tract and preventing impending tract infection by blocking the bacteria from binding to the urinary tract. Despite offering the purple delicious color, the berries contain a photochemical referred to as anthocyanin which is the pigment that gives it color. The special photochemical may work as an antioxidant to get rid of cancerous cells from spreading. The berries are also high in antioxidants and help reduce aging .

Many of us make health-related resolutions, such as to lose weight, stop smoking or join the neighborhood health club. While it is common to set high goals, experts say that setting smaller goals could do more for our health. "Small steps are achievable and are easier to fit into your daily routine," says James O. Hill, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. "They are less overwhelming than a big, sudden change." Here are 10 to try: 1. Keep an eye on your weight and work on making sure you are not gaining extra lbs. Even if you gain just a pound or two every year, the extra weight adds up quickly. 2. Take more small steps. Use a pedometer to count your daily steps; then add 2,000, the equivalent of one extra mile. Keep adding steps, 1,000 to 2,000 each month or so, until you take 10,000 steps on most days. 3. Eat breakfast. Breakfast eaters tend to weigh less and have better diets overall. F

While kids want great taste, you want to give them the vitamins, minerals and fiber their growing bodies need. Serve watermelon and you can both be happy. Watermelon is a fun, nutritious way to make sure active kids don't get dehydrated; it's 92 percent water. A two-cup serving of watermelon is an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C, and it provides 7 percent of the recommended daily value of potassium, with only 80 calories. Watermelon is fat-free and also contains fiber. Its beautiful red color comes from all-natural lycopene, an antioxidant that can help keep kids' bodies healthy. Watermelon can be eaten at any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner, and it's a wonderful snack for the whole family. Delicious on its own, watermelon is a fantastic ingredient in recipes, too. Previously just a summertime treat, tasty watermelon is now available year-round. A watermelon carving makes a great addition to a kids' party buffet, and the birthday boy or girl can

We all know by now that we should be eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day. But knowing and doing are two different things, aren’t they? Sometimes it is just not easy to get them all in there. We are constantly tempted to fill up on convenience and junk food. If your family is anything like mine, they’d much rather fill up on a bag of chips or a bowl of rice or pasta instead of trying an apple or a plate of steamed broccoli. So we’ll have to get creative. Here are a few ideas to “sneak” some extra vegetables and fruits in your family’s diet. 1. Start the day with a breakfast smoothie All you have to do is throw some fruits, low-fat yogurt and ice in a blender. You may also want to add a scoop of protein powder in there for good measure. Just blend for a few seconds and you have the perfect breakfast ready to go. I like to sip mine in a thermal cup on the way to work. To make it even more appealing for your kids, use some frozen yogurt or a sc
