I love Whole Foods!

The new love of my life is Whole Foods. I have been able to get some great ideas towards living a healthier lifestyle. During the winter I spend time in colder climate which makes it hard to frequent farmers' markets so a fun alternative has been weekly trips to Whole foods for fresh fruits and veggies. I also am able to get great recipe ideas and their vitamin section is awesome.

Because I'm on this California health trend kick I have been focusing more on California grown produce and California spirulina mainly because I've done my research and I'm learning a lot about how California spirulina is grown. Even better I'm using the fruits and veggies I'm getting at Whole Foods and adding spirulina for extra vitamins and energy!

Although Whole Foods can be a little pricey for my budget, especially these days, I still am able to get some great ideas on how to cook healthier for me and my family. There are also some pretty simple recipes on that internet that use California spirulina as an easy supplement to add.

I'm anemic, how can I get iron with superfoods?

I often battle with anemia and after doing research and reading blogs on superfoods, I have been trying to get my iron with superfoods. My doctor told me my iron was low and told me to eat liver or a steak. Well this is hard considering I don't eat red meat.

So I decided to put together an anemic diet consisting of iron-rich foods. So far I have included the following in my diet:

Beans
Turkey
Oats
pumpkin seeds

This is just a start I'm still researching different foods that will add iron to my diet. I have found a love for California walnuts which have a decent source of iron. I also found out that the iron in California spirulina is easily absorbed by the human body. I think I have a problem with absorbtion so California spirulina works well for me.

I've been purchasing organically grown California spirulina from Billy's Superfoods and this has so far been the best supplement I could give my body.

California Superfoods After Detoxing

I recently embarked on a 10 day fast. After my fast I wanted to make sure the foods I put in my body were organically grown and nutritious. I decided to focus on superfoods more specifically organically grown California superfoods.

I primarily focused on spirulina immediately after my detox. Then I focused on green superfoods such as kale, spinach, and broccoli. That I cooked using organic garlic. For snacks and desserts I ate California nuts and organic fruits such as blueberries and bananas. Coming off of my fast has never been smoother. Having organic California grown superfoods made me feel I was replacing what I lost during the fast with the best foods out there.

Although I began returning to my normal diet I continued to include superfood supplements such as organic California blue green algae.

California Living

Imagine unconditional healthy living. Imagine a world in which healthy eating and active living is the preferred and chosen course of action for everyone. Imagine that healthy living is a choice people make because they want to and the world makes it easy to make those choices.

In an ideal world I would be able to make healthy choices and have easy access to healthy foods and education on healthy trends. In California, health trends are pretty accessible. The California environment and what it has to offer is what makes living a healthy lifestyle easy.

Year round temperate weather makes outdoor exercise/activity more accessible. The temperate weather also makes for year round organically grown produce. Because of this natural foods are in abundance.

California health trends can encompass so many activities from biking to fresh food market shopping, meditation, and going organic.
