#OptimalU-Week 22 Recap
June 3, 2014
Hi Everyone!
June is now upon us and we are drawing to the halfway point for our #OptimalU. I hope that our pictures and videos have made a healthy impact on your life and that you can see that being healthy is about making simple, wise decisions daily. If you missed our #OptimalU May event, you can watch here. Otherwise, our new June focus is on dinner and desserts, and our outreach is “Wigs for Kids”. Enjoy!
Day 1: Add cinnamon to baked yams or sweet potatoes.
Day 2: The juice formula I recommend includes ONLY eight ounces of organic beet, carrot, apple, parsley, cucumber, and a small piece of ginger. (Don’t make juicing the only way you consume your vegetables).
Day 3: From my experience, Americans get a limited amount of natural vitamin C complex from their diet. A lack of vitamin C can create weakness in teeth and gums resulting in fragile tissue. I encourage my patients to consume bell peppers instead of citrus, and also today’s #OptimalU on page 57: Do not chew synthetic vitamin C (this particular brand’s first ingredient was sucrose, or, sugar).
Day 4: Summer is the “optimal” season for many fruits and vegetables, and today’s #OptimalU focuses on one of them: Fresh or self-frozen blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants.
Day 5: Off
Day 6: Deep water ocean fish are excellent sources of omega-3 fat. Avoid farm-raised fish.
Day 7: Are you not feeling at your ‘peak performance’ level? Today’s #OptimalU on page 159 suggests: Journal your food patterns for one week. Wheat, corn, dairy, sugar, nightshades, alcohol, and citrus are all common energy zappers. You can find a link to my food journal here: https://druglessdoctor.com/recipe/grocery-list-diet-sheet/
