Why I'm Eating More Organic Food, And How To Make The Most Of It

My wife Becki and I are really starting to eat healthier - not just the kinds of foods we're eating, but also the fact that we're eating more organic foods. I know that a lot of traditional health and fitness type people don't make a big deal about this, but I do, and I'll tell you why:

You are what you eat, and if you eat food that is full of toxins, your body will be full of toxins too.

It's a pretty simple concept, really, but for some reason people often seem to forget about it, or ignore it completely. I'm not ignoring it - in fact, after doing a cleanse a few years ago to help get rid of toxins in my body and the amazing results I had from it, I'm convinced that the toxins that find their way into our bodies are a huge factor in our overall health and well-being.

Our livers are our natural detoxification organs, right? Well, our livers are also the center of fat metabolization. Right now, they're over burdened with all of the toxins that are constantly coming their way, and they start losing their ability to burn fat anymore.

So let's see... be a blubberous toxic waste-dump? Or be a fit and clean eating machine?  ...hmmm... which would you rather be?

How We're Making The Most of our Organic Foods?

It's not always easy to start eating much, much healthier than you have been for the last few months, but I've always been a fan of going cold turkey... diving into the deep end... going balls to the wall, so to speak.

So what we're doing to get all of our healthy, nutritious foods into our diet is making smoothies. Multiple smoothies per day, as a matter of fact.

We simply bought what we basically think is the best blender for smoothies we've ever seen - especially for the price! So we just toss in some greens, a little juice, some almond butter and flax seed for fiber, maybe a little vegetarian protein powder, and then something to make it taste okay (blueberries are one of the best ways to go that we've seen) and you're off and running. That's two of the three meals we eat in a day.

Other than that, we are also using our awesome blender to make quinoa flour, to do things like make home-made nutmilk, and even make veggie juice.

Just some of the ways we're adding lots of healthy, green, organic foods to our lives, and will clear out our livers and boost our metabolisms in the process.
