Try this Unbelievably Simple Way to Detox with WFPB Foods
Is Eating a WFPB Diet Hard?
The biggest problem I find with eating whole food plant-based is finding easy to fix, nutritious, and great-tasting recipes.

Making smoothies also is a lot of effort. But what if I told you there was an easy way to eat whole food plant-based meals?
In this article I will give you some tips to make your whole food plant-based prep quicker and your burden lighter. Trust me when I say that I know the feeling.

Gentle Dry Brushing To Better Move Your Lymph
The Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system is a vital part of the immune system. It comprises a network of vessels and organs that help filter fluids and remove waste from the body. Lymph nodes are an essential part of this system, and are located throughout the body in areas where the lymphatic vessels converge.
There are approximately 600-700 lymph nodes in the human body, which play a vital role in protecting us from infection.
Lymph nodes contain white blood cells known as lymphocytes, which help fight off bacteria and viruses. When we are infected with a pathogen, our lymph nodes can become swollen and painful as they work to rid our bodies of the invader. Keeping your lymph moving is critical to your health.

How Phytoestrogens Behave in Estrogen Positive Breast Cancer
What are Phytoestrogens
Phytoestrogens are estrogens that are derived from plants and have a structure similar to human estrogen. Phytoestrogens can bind to estrogen receptors (ERs) in the body. Because of this, there is interest in using them as cancer preventives and therapies, particularly for estrogen-positive breast cancer. There are three main types of phytoestrogens: isoflavones, lignans, and coumestans. Isoflavones are found in soybeans and soy products. Lignans are found in flaxseed and flax oil and some fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Coumestans are found in alfalfa and clover.
How Carrots Can Actually Help Heal Many Chronic Diseases
Did you know that carrots are a superfood? They contain beta carotene, which is the pigment in carrots. Beta carotene is the precursor to Vitamin A, which means that beta carotene only converts to vitamin A as our bodies need it. Beta carotene is only found in vegetables and to a lesser extent in fruits. The more intense the color of the veggie/fruit, the higher the beta carotene content. Beta carotene in carrots is also an antioxidant that may help reduce the risk of certain cancers and protect your cells from damaging free radicals. Free radicals are believed to play a significant role in inflammation, disease, and aging.
