Get your Micronutrients!
Just finished watching the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" which advocates juicing and eating lots of micronutrients, found in vegetables and fruits. It is really inspiring me to buy a juicer...
We are a sister and brother living in different states, attempting to "go Paleo"! Andi is a type 1 diabetic, using the Paleo diet as a means to achieve better blood sugar control, and Mitch is a weight lifter with an interest in how nutrition can affect both his health and athletic performance. The Paleo Diet is a way of eating in the modern age that best mimics diets of our hunter-gatherer ancestors - combinations of lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. By eating the foods that we are genetically adapted to eat, followers of the Paleo Diet are naturally lean, have acne-free skin, improved athletic performance, and are experiencing relief from numerous metabolic-related and autoimmune diseases.
