No that's not a typo up there, sugar makes you fart, toot, cut the cheese. Whenever you consume sugar you're feeding the bacteria in your gut and then they shit that out inside of you (great visual eh?) then it comes out of you by means of a fart....yummy. However, if you start eating healthy and cut down on sugar as well as white pasta, white bread, wheat, dairy, processed foods, sodium nitrates (deli meats and cured meat) your body will be healthy, you're skin will look great and your friends and husband will thank you for no longer polluting their environment.

If you have a hard time incorporating greens into your diet by eating them, you can drink them and make it tons easier. I drink a green drink at least twice a day and have energy and glowing skin. I of course incorporate these green drinks with a healthy lifestyle like a clean, healthy diet and exercise. Here a few of my favorites:
Green Banana Berry Blast:
In a blender (preferably a NINJA or a Vitamix) Put in the following ingredients:
5-6 Kale leaves
A handful of spinach leaves
1-2 Large bananas
1-1 1/2 Cup of frozen or fresh blueberries
1 Tablespoon of powdered Flax Seed (fresh seeds ground up in coffee grinder)
Add 2 Cups filtered water
2 TBS of Coconut Nectar or Organic Clear Agave Nectar
Makes about 16oz. Drink immediately.
Apple Banana Green Drink:
5 to 6 Kale leaves or a few handfuls of fresh spinach leaves
1 Whole apple (green or red) chopped and cored with skin
1-2 Large bananas
5-6 Baby carrots chopped (optional)
1 TBS of Flaxseed powder
2 Cups Filtered water.
2 TBS of Coconut Nectar or Organic Clear Agave Nectar
Makes about 16oz. Drink immediately
The Kale and the Spinach have amazing antioxidant properties and will fight off free radicals that are responsible for the break down of collagen (aside from naturally aging) and fine lines.
If you need even more of a pick me up add some Goji berries into your green drink or just pop a few handfuls for even more nutrients. For more info about Goji berries read this.
So here's to younger looking skin, more energy and no more skid marks in your panties ladies! Bottoms up!
