Plant Sterols: Start making food choices today that will help manage your Cholesterol. Plant Sterols are naturally found in some vegetable oils, nuts, grain products, fruits and vegetables. Because of their ability to lower LDL cholesterol, plant sterols have been added to common foods like orange juice, yogurts and snack bars, read the labels. Naturally occuring foods with good sources of Plant Sterols are Avocados and Sunflower Seeds. You only need 2 grams of plant sterols per day to help reduce your risk of heart disease by up to 10%. Try a Promise Active Shot found in the dairy section at your local grocery!

"I will be taking a walk down the grocery isle with you, sneaking into your pantry, refrigerator and cupboards, driving with you through the fast food line and spending time in your kitchen. It’s all about Food! The emotional struggles, time management issues, but ultimately it’s about you facing food choices everyday to fuel your body. Let’s learn the truth about food and find Nutrition Peace. It’s not complicated, nor scary, and you will be amazed at the simple skills you will learn to decrease your bodyfat and inches, with that ultimate Healthquest goal of nourishing your body to fend off disease.
Here are a few suggestions for shrinking your own storage sites:
#1 Eat Breakfast. Did you know on average adults who skip breakfast can gain approx. 10-12 pounds of fat.
#2 Eat Real Food. Consume foods that do not have an ingredient list. An Orange is an Orange.
#3 Lean into your lifestyle changes. Be patient and take small steps. If you have not been a breakfast eater, start out with a mini goal this week of eating breakfast 4 times. But please don’t beat yourself up if you only got in three. That is three more than before! Don’t give up and realize small diversions from your goals, which I like to call “Hiccups”, should not give you permission to sabotage all your future eating choices.
#4 Your body will give up what it no longer needs. It takes 21 days to change your taste buds. As you consume nutrient dense foods (foods that are full of Vitamins, Minerals, Phytochemicals, Antioxidants and Fiber) you will find it easier to eat healthy. Your body is actually being fed real nutrients now and the cravings will start to diminish! Anyone for breakfast? 3/4 cup of Oatmeal, 1Tbs of Brown Sugar, 23 Almonds and a Banana. How about a snack? An Apple with Mozzarella String Cheese, or a small box of Raisins with one ounce of Walnuts! Get started today!"
