How To Enhance Your Life With Whole Foods

The Journey To A Life Of True Wholeness

By: Mandy B. Anderson

There are many tools needed in order to reach a life of true wholeness. Some of them include skills like knowing how to overcome fear, shifting your perspective so you speak life instead of death, practicing a life of forgiveness, walking by faith…the list goes on. One of the most important tools for a life of true wholeness is the choice to be healthy.

Health really is a choice whether you were born into this world in sickness or in health. Today, we're going to take a look at some "whole food" that can enhance your life on a daily basis, and why it is so beneficial for you. The following information was given to me by one of my business mentors and it is so powerful that we actually share it at our live Wine & Wellness parties.

Did you know…?

Eating Cabbage more than once per week cuts colon cancer odds by 66%.

Eating a Carrot per day cuts stroke rate in women by 68%.

Eating half cup of Spinach once per day cuts macular degeneration odds by 43%.

Eating 6 servings per day of Fruits and Vegetables cuts stroke rate by 44%.

Broccoli has 20-50% more anti-cancer capabilities than Tamoxifin

Eating 9 serving per day of Fruits and Vegetables cuts stroke rate by 66%.

Blueberries lowers cholesterol better than drugs

Apples have natural estrogen and helps reduce cholesterol.

Acorela Cherries are known to relieve symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Cranberries are strong antibiotics and antivirals.

Oranges besides being high on vitamin C has every class of Cancer inhibitor known.

Papayas are natural medicine for helping digestion.

Peaches contain Boron, which aids in Calcium absorption.

Pineapple is your best anti-inflammatory and helps dissolve blood clots.

Raw Beets are a natural antidepressant.

Broccoli is a super source of chromium, which helps regulate insulin & blood sugar.

Cabbage is anti-ulcer.

Carrots fight heart and eye disease.

Kale has 50% more calcium than milk.

Did you know that all these fruits and vegetables are also your best source of Antioxidants to prevent you from all the degenerative diseases like cancer, heart disease and diabetes?

Whole food is so important to your every day life! Without the nutrients that whole foods give us, we can not function at our best in order to live the life of our dreams. I'm going to enjoy some pears, plums, and asparagus today…what about you?
