Happy Belly Green Smoothie

Happy Belly Green Smoothie

Green smoothies are awesome.  Loaded with vitamins and minerals, they give you just what you need to to start your day, to nourish you after a work out, or to get you over the afternoon hump.  There are endless combinations of fruits and greens that you can throw together in just minutes.  A regular blender works just fine.  But I have to say that when I got my vitamix, making smoothies became much more fun.  What I like best about high-powered blenders is the velvety-smooth consistency of the smoothie.

Today’s smoothie is the Happy Belly Green Smoothie.  If you have been reading my blog, you know that I am a big fan of nourishing the gut.  About 80% of our immune system is located in our small intestine.  That’s a lot.  So I like to eat as much fermented foods as possible EVERY day to make sure my gut stays happy and healthy.  I added homemade yogurt to this morning’s smoothie for a happy belly. It adds a bit of the necessary fat needed to assimilate some of the nutrients in the smoothie.   It’s a refreshing blend of apple, banana, yogurt, spinach, and date…… enjoy!!!!

๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’งDRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL โ€ข 3 easy things yo ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’งDRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL โ€ข 3 easy things you can do to get things flowing ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง

1๏ธโƒฃ HYDRATION ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’งโ€ข drink half your body weight in ounces every day โ€ข start the day with 32 ounces of clean water in the first 1-2 hours that youโ€™re awake โ€ข drink clean, filtered water โ€ข tap water can be loaded with heavy metals, pesticides, + pharmaceuticals ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€ข water makes up 60 percent of our total body weight + 90 percent of brain weight ๐Ÿง โ€ข adequate water intake is essential for the body to function properly โ€ข water delivers important nutrients to all of our cells, especially muscle cells (energy!!), helps to move the digestive process along through the system,  helps with constipation, moves toxins through the body faster, and optimizes kidney function (detox!) โ€ข without adequate water, toxins canโ€™t be excreted + then can build up in the body 

2๏ธโƒฃ BOWEL MOMENTS ๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ’ฉ โ€ข aim for 1-2 good-sized bowel movements per day (think at least banana-sized ๐ŸŒ) without feeling the need to strain or feeling of incomplete evacuation afterwards โ€ข if the food that we eat is not traveling through the body fast enough, it will sit in the bowels + ferment/rot and the toxins get reabsorbed into the body ๐Ÿ˜ฉ+ can cause abdominal pain, bloating, + gas ๐Ÿ’จโ€ข prioritize hydration to keep food moving + eat plenty of fiber to speed up digestion โ€ข avoid inflammatory foods โ€ข take magnesium to help things keep flowing โ€ข practice enemas to hydrate colon + to increase peristalsis โ€ข get a professional colonic to hydrate, tone, + clean large intestine โ€ข keep things flowing out โ€ข better out than in ๐Ÿ˜‰

3๏ธโƒฃ MOVEMENT ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿšด๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธโ€ข move your body every day โ€ข walk, run, jump, dance, ride a bike โ€ข take 2 minute movement tbreaks throughout the day โ€ข the lymphatic system is one of our main waste removal systems + relies on skeletal muscle contractions to keep flowing โ€ข prioritize exercise + walking โ€ข hot Epsom salt baths stimulate circulation, improve lymphatic drainage + promote sweating ๐Ÿ›๐Ÿ›โ€ข sweating in a sauna stimulates the lymphatic system to release excess water + toxins ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ
