3. Begin with a few small changes.

Replace junk foods and fats with fruits and veggies. Don’t be surprised if you feel more energetic as a result.

 Traditional Chinese folk medicine uses Goij to cure a variety of ailments.  Goji berries have also long been used in various Asian dishes as an ingredient or a garnish. They are full of amino acids and essential minerals and are a nutrient-dense superfood. According to ancient Chinese tradition, Goji berries enhance the energy of life and support the function of vital organs.  Diminished sexual function is not an inevitable part of aging.

Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables around and one way to be sure to enjoy the maximum nutrition and flavor from kale is to cook it properly. We recommend Healthy Steaming kale for 5 minutes. To ensure quick and even cooking cut the leaves into 1/2" slices and the stems into 1/4" lengths. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to enhance their health-promoting qualities before steaming.

4. Variety in food is a healthy habit.

An apple a day is great, but you’ll get a better balance of nutrients by trying different foods in each group.

6. The importance of exercise

Adults need at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days of week; children should get 6o minutes every day or most days. Keep moving. Limit time in front of the TV and computer. Take a walk. Exercise with family. Paying basketball, swimming or gardening helps burn calories and will keep you in shape.
