They spend far an excessive amount of on the “why” as a substitute of the “how” and this e book is the right mixture of each. It’s additionally very conversationally written, so whereas it consists of a number of science-backed info and peer-reviewed research, it’s a straightforward learn.
Notes I took on my telephone whereas studying:

– Massive salads with numerous uncooked veggies – concentrate on kale and broccoli
– Smoothies with assorted components
– Water with a pinch of Himalayan sea salt, cayenne, and lemon within the am
– Meals with excessive chlorophyll content material: chard, kale, spirulina, chlorella
– Make train sporadic and enjoyable; really problem your self
– Discover a higher water supply. We now have reverse osmosis right here on the home, nevertheless it hasn’t been serviced because the first time we lived right here. So we haven’t been utilizing it. I’ve been filling the big water jugs from Entire Meals. Although I’m looking for a greater choice (glass bottles, an excellent filter like Berkey, or perhaps a supply service). If in case you have any concepts, please let me know!
As a non-vegan who loves vegan meals, I’m enthusiastic about making an attempt a number of the new recipes in Superlife. They’re all vibrantly coloured and full of veggies.
So, inform me, mates: what’s one of the best well being or wellness e book you’ve learn just lately?
