Spring Clean your Body!


I look forward to the weather changing! Winter is harsh, your body suffers and your mood suffers. Spring is fresh, new and full of vitality all around you! It is one of the best times of the year to change your eating and lifestyle practices. Start with a 3 day cleanse and if you can tolerate a 5 or seven day cleanse that rids your body of sugar cravings, salt cravings, meat cravings and fat cravings. It can be a homemade juice cleanse or one that consist of delicious fruit smoothies, salads with lemon juice dressing, bean soups and stews. No matter what kind of cleanse you choose it should not include anything processed, any sugars other than what is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, no carbohydrates unless it's of the vegetable variety and no, potatoes are not included. Avoid adding salt or other sodium products to your foods, drink plenty of water 6-8 cups, snack on raw nuts, seeds, dried fruits and absolutely no meat or animal by products such as milk, cheese, yogurt and butter. You can do it! Let's Go!

Green Monster Smoothie consist of: 
1/2 green Granny Smith Apple 
1/4 cup kale
1/4 cup carrots chopped 
1/4 cup frozen pineapples and strawberry 
Water can be used to adjust thickness. Blend and drink!

Sex and Nutrition

It's been so long! But here I is.

I recently caught a snippet of a rapper who will remain nameless and his wife, yes, his wife, some rappers actually do believe in marriage but I digress. They were doing one of those solacious, late night talk shows and the topic of oral sex came up. Well, this unknown rapper said and I quote, " I love performing oral on my wife, she tastes good, she tastes like mangos, fruity, it's true you are what you eat." Hhhmmmm, I liked said rapper before but that interview garnered a new found respect for him. Men don't often discuss why they like to perform fallacio much less how it tastes.  His statement is the definition of, you are what you eat, and often times what you eat secretes through your biggest organ your skin! Body odors though widely hormonal also has a lot to do with your diet. Hence the reason someone might smell garlicky, smell like pungent seasoning or just plain foul. 

There's no complicated remedy other than to eat healthy, drink plenty of water and sweat as much as possible. Eating healthy means eating a variety of whole foods, fresh fruits, vegetable, whole complex carbohydrates, limiting meat intake which takes far longer for your body to break down and process than most foods, limit pungent herbs and spices and I say this with bitten lips because I love to flavor my foods with garlic, cloves, cayenne and I am a curry freak! Drinking plenty of water will help balance out your intake of pungent herbs and spices by flushing and cleansing the body. Eat raw nuts and seeds for added protein and fiber. Try a new exotic fruit paying attention to the flavor and the smell and imagine that's how you want to taste. 

Good nutrition serves to promote good health but it's also important for our sexual health, sexual pleasure and flavor 🙊.
