From The Desk of The People's Chemist: 

"You're only as young as your joints!"

Stan reminded me of that as he explained why he wasn't mountain biking as often as he liked. He was only 45 years old! I explained that lack of nutrients damages joints, NOT age. He learned, acted and is now pain free despite rigourous mountain biking. Learn about it here (way beyond glucosamine HCL!): http://alturl.com/3hxp

Look out next week for the anti-wrinkle oil I found on the islands! It only costs about $5 per month! Can you guess?

Two Reasons to Take Your Kids Grocery Shopping

By Shane "The People's Chemist" Ellison

Nothing manifests vibrant health more than what we eat. That's why my wife and I always make it a point to take our kids grocery shopping with us. This allows us to teach them how to avoid sneaky labeling and deceptive branding, and how to pick the best foods for a healthy meal.

The first lesson is how to read labels so that they don't get ensnared in grocery store fat traps. We teach them to look for things like high fructose corn syrup, MSG, dextrose and sucrose. Then, we explain how to avoid the hormone smashers so that your muscles don's evaporate. These include the health branded sports drinks, juices, and flavored teas.

The second lesson is how important it is to pick a healthy balance of the right foods. We let our kids pick out their own veggies, which gets them excited about eating good food. (We also let them help prepare their meals, which gets them even more involved in healthy eating.)

Including them in your weekly shopping trip helps kids realize how important healthy natural foods are to our bodies. In my family, health is wealth. And in this we are abundant!
