It’s been our aim over the past two weeks in LivingFuelTV’s mealtime series to encourage you to ask “What’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner?” well in advance of these meals. This foresight can yield huge benefits to your nutrition, performance, sleep, and overall wellness. Impart these fundamental lessons to your children and involve them in meal preparation and they’ll take this knowledge with them for a lifetime!
We’ve discussed the importance of
breakfast in the popular episode
Change Your Breakfast, Change Your Life!, then turned our attention to
lunch in
What’s For Lunch? Today, we sit down to
dinner and look at how to craft the perfect dinner menu. Also, you’ll discover the perfect (and vital) companion to that big dinner salad.

The first thing that comes to mind when you read Marshmallow Root is likely not a flowering plant that’s home to one of nature’s most powerful and efficacious herbs. However, Marshmallow Root has been used for thousands of years in many cultures as a powerful herbal remedy for a wide range of dis-eases ranging from colds, cough, and sore throat, to diarrhea, indigestion, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), to even eczema and pinkeye.
The marshmallow plant is native to Europe, western Asia and northeast America and is a fleshy, flowering plant that can reach up to 4 feet high. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), the entire plant contains a slippery, slick substance called mulicage, long-believed to be the active ingredient in the herb. Mulicage is actually comprised of large sugar molecules, a long chain of polysaccharides, most of which is concentrated in the plant’s root. Marshmallow root is rich in nutrients and is easy to digest, making it an excellent food during times of digestive discomfort.
Enjoy organic marshmallow root, along with over 60 other superfoods, vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics in a great-tasting whole meal functional superfood blend.
It’s truly “living” fuel!

While most of the interior United States remains locked in the cold grip of winter, here in central Florida, the famous Plant City strawberry crop is already rolling into local farmer’s markets, a sign of spring around the corner!
With their bright red exterior, covering of dimpled tiny yellow seeds, and lid of tousled green leaves, the wonderful strawberry is a delight to the eye as well as the mouth! Here’s a few interesting facts about this beautiful berry:
- Strawberries are the only fruit with their seeds on the outside. Each berry can contain over 200 seeds—it takes just one strawberry to start your own strawberry field forever.
- Because the fruit is fragile and can bruise easily, all strawberries all hand-picked.
- Strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C, potassium, folic acid, lutein, and fiber.
- A study from the Harvard School of Public Health showed that that women who eat 16 or more strawberries per week are 14% less likely to have elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a key marker of inflammation in the body.

Imagine that a new pharmaceutical drug is released to the public amidst a flood of news reports and television advertising. This pill has been has been clinically and conclusively proven to dramatically reduce the risk of breast cancer by as much as 80%. Do you think this would be a popular prescription?
It may come as a surprise to know that healthy lifestyle habits and diet have been clinically shown in a significant number of studies to substantially reduce the risk of breast and other cancers that plague our modern society. A vast majority of the fund-raising activities for the pink ribbon organizations are rooted in good people with noble intentions, however, with over a billion dollars spent on the “cure”, little progress has been made in this fight.
In today’s LivingFuelTV’s HealthAlert, we turn our attention from awareness to prevention. Join us as we explore key factors that increase women’s risk and those factors that decrease the risk of breast cancer. This is vital information you are not likely to hear from conventional medicine.

Dear Living Fuel Family,
There is no lack of nutritional information these days. Enter “nutrition” in Bing’s search engine and, in a fraction of a second, you’ll receive 297 million results quite literally at your fingertips. So, how do we condense this information (much of it useful, but some of it misleading) and slice through the hype and hyperbole? Is there a cohesive, simple, and effective program that hundreds of qualified researchers and top health professionals endorse?
In my book Super Health: 7 Golden Keys to Unlock Lifelong Vitality, I present The Four Corners of Optimal Nutrition, one of the most well-researched nutritional concepts in existence, supported by over 3,000 individual research studies over many years. What’s unique about the Four Corners philosophy is that the individual components are integrated into a unified theory, providing a comprehensive foundation for new levels of health awareness and life enhancement. |

The Four Corners are:
- Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition
- Low Glycemic Response
- High Antioxidants
- Healthy Fats

A new study indicates that eating berries, specifically strawberries and blueberries, may reduce cognitive decline in elderly women. Strawberries and blueberries contain high levels of flavonoids, compounds that have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The Harvard Medical School study, published in the latest issue of the journal Annals of Neurology, supports similar findings from smaller studies on the benefits of flavonoids.
Living Fuel has long-recognized the amazing health benefits of berries, including strawberries and blueberries. That is why our LivingFuel SuperBerry® Ultimate and LivingFuel SuperBerry® Original functional superfoods contain a unique SuperBerry complex of organic, freeze-dried strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries.
Unlike other brands, which may contain only a small amount of berries or simply berry flavoring, each serving of SuperBerry® Original and SuperBerry® Ultimate contain approximately 14,000 milligrams (14 full grams!) of organic berries. Along with organic berries SuperBerry Ultimate and Original also contain:
- live digestive enzymes to ensure maximum availability of nutrients,
- probiotics and probiotics for healthy intestinal function,
- protective antioxidants to protect against free radical damage,
- an array of beneficial herbs to enhance major body systems,
- optimal levels of essential vitamins & minerals, delivered in their most bioavailable forms, and
- 26 grams per serving of clean, non-GMO brown rice and yellow pea protein.

antioxidants, diet, food, fruit, health, KC Craichy, Living Fuel, nutrition, raw food, Super Health, superfood, vegetables
Adding more fruit and vegetables of any kind to your diet will improve your health, especially if they are organic, because they limit your exposure to pesticides and herbicides. But some foods are higher in antioxidants than others. To reap the biggest benefit of antioxidants, eat these foods raw or lightly steamed; don’t overcook or boil. Three of the most well-known major antioxidant vitamins are beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E; however, there are many others. It is important to know that a single exotic super fruit, such as acai or pomegranate, or a blend of several like you might find in some of the “wine bottle” antioxidant drinks on the market today, do not cover the full-spectrum of required antioxidants. Remember, there are five major classes of free radicals. You cannot simply take one type of antioxidant and be fully protected. It’s like having five holes in a boat with only one or two plugs to keep it from sinking.
