Free Meal Plan & Grocery List

Dine Without Whine Sample

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time coming up with meals during the week or any day for that matter. Before I'm even done with dinner sometimes my (because I start them) conversations will go like this. "So what do you want for dinner tomorrow?" He will respond like, "Can't we just eat and discuss that later?" I have to wonder, yeah what's my problem? One meal at a time!

The last thing I want is to have nothing and have to resort to eating out...you know how it goes $50 later. Even if you went cheap dining, cheap dining adds up if you're eating out two or three times a week.

So how do other busy Moms know what they are having tonight? As a matter of fact, they know what they're having all week!

So guess what? I'm getting a free meal plan and grocery list good for one week of dinners and side dishes, plus 2 brunch recipes and 2 desserts!

Go ahead, you can grab your one-week meal plan and grocery list too.

Knowing Your Fruit Juices

1. The best juice to have in your glass is tomato juice as it's rich in lycopene which reduces your risk of developing cancer. Pulpy juices contain a lot of fibre and keeps you fuller. Vegetable juices also contain a lot less sugar and are lower in calories.

2. If you want to gain weight consider choosing blended juices as they contain higher calories. On the downside, they also contain a lot more sugar and they aren't as nutritious.

3. I've never had pomegranate juice. It does have a high sugar and calorie content, but it also have a ton of antioxidants. One 8 oz of pomegranate juice daily reduces the recurrence of prostate cancer.

4. Cranberry juice is good for UTI (Urinary Tract Infections) and it's packed with Vitamin C.

5. Blueberry juice contain antioxidants that improves brain function. It protects against age-related diseases like Alzheimer's.

6. Acai berry juice is said to have higher concentration of antioxidants than blueberries, cranberries and other types of berries.

7. Eating 6 cherries a day reduces pain and inflammation in arthritis and it eliminates gout. Drink cherry juice before and after you exercise to reduce muscle pain.

8. Prunes are naturally high in fibre content and it's recommended for use of constipation. Prune juice contains antioxidants, potassium and iron.

9. Orange juice is rich in Vitamin C and immune boosting powers. It contains fewer calories than some of the other fruit juices and it's not as rich in antioxidants.

10. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends no more than 4-6 oz of pure fruit juice per day for kids under 6 and 8-12 oz for ages 7-18. Juices can also be watered down to reduce the calorie content.

The Power of Garlic For Healing Boils

Boils is a skin condition caused by staphylococcus. The bacteria can enter through oil glands or through hair follicles. When the hair follicle becomes infected, the skin produces red nodules and is filled with pus and dead skin. A person may only have one boil, but once the boil breaks the discharge is extremely contagious and it may spread to other parts of the body.

People are more susceptible to boils if they are diabetic, stressed, have a poor diet and poor hygiene, a lowered immune system or a toxic system. In some people, boils may cause fever or swollen lymph nodes.

Here's how you can treat boils with natural home remedies.

- Avoid sugar and refined foods from your diet
- Improve your immune system with enchinacea
- Eat garlic as it contains antiseptic properties and it detoxifies the body
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
- Diet should be high in fibre to avoid constipation. More waste is eliminated through the skin when constipated
- An equal measure of onion juice and garlic juice can be use topically on the boil to speed the ripening of a boil or cut a thick slick of onion and place it over the boil. An onion also has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties
- Stir 1/2 tsp of nutmeg in 1 cup of hot water and drink. Nutmeg stimulates circulation in the body helping it fight the infection

To alleviate pain and discomfort use warm compresses. Don't squeeze or break the boil before it's ripe as it may lead to a deeper infection.

Huge Giveaway All-Natural Vitamin For Kids

This was an email I received from Natural News. I'm helping to spread the word about an all-natural, made with organic ingredients a multivitamin for kids. Many school aged children are developing diseases that usually affect adults such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and more.

(Please forward this to every schoolteacher, administrator, non-profit group and public service organization you know so that they can take advantage of this huge giveaway of New Chapter whole food complex vitamins for children.)

The health of American schoolchildren is declining rapidly. Diseases that once used to affect only adults (type-2 diabetes, heart disease, etc.) are now happening in pre-teens! And instead of giving our children real nutrition, our medical system seems focused on screening children for mental disorders and putting them on yet more synthetic chemical drugs!

Our children need REAL nutrition. And today, you have an opportunity to make a huge difference in their lives.

How? NewChapter, Vitacost, the Consumer Wellness Center and NaturalNews have teamed up to announce a huge giveaway of hundreds of thousands of servings of NewChapter's EveryKid whole food complexes (multivitamin powders made from real food, not from synthetic chemicals).

The offer is valid for any public or private school, non-profit or social service organization in the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska, of course). Organizations simply pay a nominal shipping charge and must order these EveryKid products in quantities of 108 boxes (each containing 7 servings). The product itself costs you nothing. Quantities are limited, so if you want to take advantage of this, hurry to get your request in.

Instructions: To take advantage of this offer, simply email consumerwellness (at) vitacost.com with your name, organization's name, street address, telephone, email and shipping address. Put "EveryKid Offer" in the subject line. (Valid only in the United States.) A Vitacost representative will provide you with further details on payment for the shipping & handling (which is very reasonable)

When you purchase a 28-count box of EveryKid whole food complexes from Vitacost.com (which are 55% off retail price!), use coupon code NatNews3 and Vitacost will donate a 7-count box to our non-profit Consumer Wellness Center!
