In these very interesting times, we want to help you and your families stay safe and healthy during this time of the Coronavirus. We appreciate hearing from you anytime and are here for you to help you. Let us know if you ever have any questions.
Along with all of the guidelines we know you all are following to safe in your homes, we wanted to share some things to help you and your families as you plan your meals together! How fun that families are home and eating together! I choose to see the silver linings in these troubling times so that we can all share the love, joy and blessings that we have.
So here are a few tips:
The next time you are watching a Netflex movie with your family, make sure to have popcorn on hand. Did you know that popcorn is loaded with antioxidants and fiber? Even if you have the old style popcorn, just pop them on your stove! I love the smell of fresh popped popcorn!
Next, don’t stress too much! Did you know the benefits of dark chocolate? Yes, loaded with antioxidants! So now you can totally justify taking a bite of dark chocolate without hesitation. So there you have the best duo ever…chocolate and popcorn.
Enjoy!

Bonus Tip!
As we all are concerned about keeping our families in the best healthy environment, I would like to share with you what we use in our home on a daily basis.
I did a live video yesterday of the benefits of keeping your home sanitized and clean. Click here to view.
We can all rest in the knowledge that our bodies will respond to the right nutrition and we can take measures now to insure that we stay well. We definitely all want to be keeping our immune systems up during this time. If you have not heard of Moringa Oleifera, it is the most nutritionally dense plant on earth and has tons of benefits. I will include a couple of charts to show you why we take this daily. We take SuperMix which is packed with 92 nutrients and is what we know is keeping our immune systems up! This is easy to mix with water. It has immense health benefits and it will not spoil as other foods might do over the next few weeks. This is the best food I can recommend to you~ We are stocking up now.
Please let us know how we can help you and your family. If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to call. We wish you all the best of health! Pam
