Healthy Food Tip
Why do you need to eat vegetables everyday?
You need to eat vegetables everyday because you simply cannot find another food group that is as perfectly matched to our everyday human needs as vegetables! Vegetables fit us like a glove. From so many different perspectives, the nature of vegetables and the nature of human health are matched up in a way that simply cannot be duplicated by other food groups, including fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds, grains, seafoods, or poultry and meats.
To begin with, vegetables as a group are so low in calories that it is very difficult to gain weight even if you overeat them. (This statement wouldn't apply, of course, to batter-coated and fried vegetables, or to vegetables mixed into a thick cheese casserole.) On average, you are looking at 50 calories (or less) per cup from most of the World's Healthiest vegetables! That amount is astonishingly low, even when you compare it to other food groups within the World's Healthiest Foods. With the World's Healthiest nuts and seeds, for example, you're almost always looking at 750 calories or more per cup. That's 15 times higher than the World's Healthiest vegetables. With legumes, calories per cup fall into the 225-250 range. For fruits, the calories per cup can drop down fairly low for extremely watery fruits (like watermelon, which drops down to about 50 calories per cup), but it can also spike up to more than 400 calories per cup in the case of dried fruits like raisins. Th e uniquely low-calorie nature of vegetables as a group means that you can be generous with them in a Healthiest Way of Eating and not have to worry about the calories.

Change your Mindset, Change Your Life.
Your mindset has determined your past, present and will shape your future. It can either hold us back or once expanded can take us to greater heights.
President John F. Kennedy once asked a top NASA engineer, ‘What would it take to go to the moon?’ The engineer simply answered,“The will to do it". With those five words and the declaration by President Kennedy, the US went to the moon. A nation's mindset changed and it was done.
Let me ask you…What would it take to live your dreams?
Sure, you can say Time, Support, Money, but what it really takes is…
The Will To Do It
It takes you garnering unwavering FAITH, COURAGE, and WILLPOWER.
Want more proof?
The first flight by the Wright brothers was only 59 seconds with a distance of 852 feet. Did the laws of aerodynamics changed? No, what changed was the mindset that IT’S POSSIBLE.
I want to help you shift your mindset. It’s a process and it didn’t happen overnight.

10 Signs of B12 Deficiency in Women Article
Did you know that a woman’s ability to absorb the vitamin B12 gradually decreases with age? In fact, research from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition claims that 4-percent of females between the ages of 40 to 60-years old suffer from a B12 deficiency. Combine age with certain prescription medications (i.e., for heartburn) and a lack of meat in your diet (i.e., especially for vegetarians or vegans) and you could find yourself sorely lacking vitamin B12.

BBQ Vegan Ribs Recipe
Ingredients
•1 cup vital wheat gluten
•2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
•2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
•2 teaspoons onion powder
•1 teaspoon garlic powder
•¾ cup water
•2 tablespoons tahini or other nut butter
•1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
•1 tablespoon soy sauce
• about 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce (see some suggestions below)
Instruction
Preheat the oven to 350 and lightly spray an 8×8 baking dish with canola oil. Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix the water with the nut butter, Liquid Smoke, and soy sauce and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir to mix well and then knead lightly in the bowl for a couple of minutes.
Put the dough into the baking dish and flatten it so that it evenly fills the pan. Take a sharp knife and cut it into 8 strips; then turn the pan and cut those strips in half to form 16 pieces:
Put it in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. While it’s cooking prepare your grill.
Remove it from the oven and carefully re-cut each strip, going over each cut to make sure that the ribz will pull apart easily later. Generously brush the top with barbecue sauce. Take it to the grill and invert the whole baking dish onto the grill (or use a large spatula to lift the seitan out, placing it sauce-side down on the grill). Brush the top of the seitan with more sauce:
Watch it closely to make sure that it doesn’t burn. When it’s sufficiently brown on one side, turn over and cook the other side, adding more sauce, if necessary. When done, remove to a platter and cut or pull apart the individual ribs to serve.
Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Cooking time: 35 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 4
Note
To make this without a grill, bake it for 25 minutes without barbecue sauce. Then brush the top with a generous coating of sauce, turn the whole thing over carefully in the pan, and brush the other side with sauce. Bake for another 10-20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and caramelized slightly but not burned. Remove from oven, cut apart, and serve.

Vegan diet: Health benefits, risks, and meals tips
Vegans eat no animal produce, including honey, eggs, or dairy produce, and they will not use clothes, soaps, and other products that are sourced in any way from animals.
This can be a healthful choice, but a lack of proper planning or understanding of nutrition can lead to some health risks.
