Summary
Today I talk with the wonderful Caren Skibell. Caren is an improvisor, actor, writer and teacher. She has won multiple awards for her writing including Best Festival Audience Pick for the Quo Vadimus Arts AD America Festival for her play Appetite (which I had the honor of being a part of in the original cast). Along with her artistic endeavors Caren is also an educator at Whole Foods and has some amazing information about nutrition. If you are trying to get off sugar as so many of you are, give this a listen. Thanks Caren. Here are some notes from Caren: Here are my food ingredients guidelines: If I can't pronounce it, do I really want to eat it? If it has more than 5 ingredients, I won’t eat it. Is it real food? Food is simple. Chemicals make food last longer, and food isn't designed to last long in the body. A few years ago New England Journal of Medicine stated that minute amounts of pesticides can contribute to tumor growth. We need much more testing and food label requirements before allowing GMOs into our food stream. Thankfully there are many orgs tracing food sourcing and putting that on food labels. Majority of Europe bans GMO. Celery juice is absolutely great, but any green juice is fantastic and low alkaline. (Most bodies are highly acidic.) Celery has multiple nutrients, but currently social media is highlighting its ability to cleanse the body and liver. Juicing allows nutrients to bypass the digestive process, which is incredibly taxing on the body, organs, and requires a lot of energy. Consequently, juicing delivers the vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream, where they are readily absorbed.
