Ep 32 - Commonly Asked Questions About Fruits and VegetablesYou’ve heard the nutrition prescriptions: “Aim for 5-A-Day” and “Eat a Rainbow.” Few would argue, bottoline fruits and vegetables offer many health benefits.

Fruits contain natural sugar and many other beneficial nutrients, so they are a healthful addition to a daily diet#2 “Are canned and frozen fruits and vegetables lower in nutrients?” It depends on the type of produce, the type of processing#3 - “Are smoothies and juices just as good as eating whole fruits and vegetables?” Whole fruits and vegetables are the best choiceChoose the healthier choice!

Ep 31 - What do you see when you look in a mirror? “Myself, of course,” you reply. But what is your self?Strictly speaking, when you look in a mirror, you see a face that you recognize as your own. But recognizing yourself is more than just identifying the face in the mirror as your own. When you flip through your photo album, you see yourself in that snapshot of a toddler on a tricycle, that picture of a grade-schooler standing behind a science fair project, the high school yearbook portrait of an awkward adolescent, and that photo of you as ayoung adult in a college graduation gown. None of these look like the face staring back in the mirror. Yet somehow your self ties all these varying persons together.What do you see when you look in the mirror#1 “Outer appearances are a reflection of inner reality.What you hold in mind comes to life irrespective of your preferences.Life is a mirror; its reflection shines your image back to you.#2 “It’s always been an inside out Game.”Which “if ____, then I’ll be happy” or “when ____ happens, then I’ll be happy” thoughts do you have?#3 “Start now and see you as the best version of yourself - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.”Be it before it arrives!
