Food Pyramids

Consider this food pyramid.  In this age of gluttony most Americans consumer TOOOOOOO much protein and of that protein....TOOOOO much animal protein.  If your feeling sluggish or have noticed recent weight gain try experimenting with proteins.  Veggies and fruits are great sources of energy and are waistline friendly!  Also consider the theory of food signatures.  Meaning foods often look like what they are good for...

For instance...

-Leafy greens often look like lungs...and they help cardiovascular function
-Blueberries look like little eyes...guess what they help eyesight and are one of the most anti-oxidant rich foods
-Cauliflower and broccoli look like little brushes...they cleanse the colon and are great for your brain
-Kidney beans are shaped like your kidneys....GUESS WHAT?!  They help support kidney function!

Consider your food!
