Mothers Day
By Sylvia Honey

  *****************************************

The origin of Mothers’ Day was in 1870 after the Civil War. Mothers, daughters, and wives came together to protest the blood shed by loved ones and of the ‘enemy’. Their belief held that all sons everywhere were part of our greater family.

For the following thirty years, June 2nd was celebrated a “Mothers’ Day for Peace”. When Congress declared it a legal holiday in 1913, it became the exploited billion dollar industry it is today and the original purpose was lost.

Now more than ever, we need to choose a path of “waking up” and healing our planet by the choices we make. We must become very mindful of this interconnectedness that we share with all beings. Honor our mothers; celebrate, eat, enjoy the day, but…take time to think about the women of the 19th century and how each of us can contribute to peace.

Julia Ward Howe Wrote in 1870:

“Arise, then, women of this day!

Arise, all women who have hearts,

Whether our baptism be of water or of tears!

Say firmly:

“We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses, and applause.

Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn

All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country

To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

This year, celebrate a “Mothers’ Day for Peace”.

Come together to end war.

Get RAW

By Renee Bronner Hribar

Eating Raw is the healthiest and simplest way I have found to feed my body …and my soul. The point of this article is not for you to understand the acid alkaline balance or the complete function of enzymes. It is about changing your life in a way you may never have thought possible.

What is RAW?

Besides delicious and easy to prepare, scientifically, it is maintaining the enzymes that are produced by nature in keeping the food below a certain temperature (debated to be between 105 and 120 degrees). Since no cooking, it’s RAW.

The four food groups of RAW food are: Leafy greens and vegetables, Sweet Fruits (bananas, apples, durian, dates), Non-Sweet fruits (bell peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers), and Fats (avocados, nuts, olives, coconuts). Balance within these four food groups is natural and if you listen to your body it will tell you what you need.

Why RAW?

The list of benefits to eating a RAW diet is near endless. Curing diabetes was one of the most wonderful and exciting tales I’ve heard from going RAW for just 30 days. Of course weight loss is a popular benefit, I personally lost 9 pounds eating 100% RAW in just 5 days. Others that I have met are able to end long-term use of their blood pressure and cholesterol medication. Some that I have read about cured multiple sclerosis, diverticulitis, candida, asthma, acne, menopausal and menstrual symptoms, migraines, arthritis, hypoglycemia and the list continues to grow as more and more people are getting the word out about eating food in the way nature intended.

Since there is no refined, processed sugar, no dairy and no soy, wheat or gluten in RAW food, this is a perfect way for our body to cleanse itself. When our body is clean and getting the nutrients it needs, it can heal itself from anything.

How to go RAW?

EASY, QUICK and DELICIOUS. In the same time it used to take me just to prep my cooked food to then go into the oven, the RAW food is done and ready to be enjoyed!

I can eat carrot cake for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I want. I’ve made a RAW Black Forest Cake, Lasagna even Spicy Fries that rivals in taste to any cooked version I’ve ever had.

Most of the recipes are so simple you only need a blender or a food processor. Raw food is not a lot of work. If you do enjoy preparing food you can easily create beautiful gourmet food twice a day – in minutes. Otherwise you and stick to eating foods in their whole form with no prep time at all!

Mixing fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables together, without cooking them and having something delicious like carrot cake come out in fifteen minutes seemed impossible. I was not sure I could give up cooked food. I loved soups, burgers and bread…and I still do. I just prepare them differently.

Instead of using Grandma’s recipes, I reference Alissa Cohen’s Living on Live Food, and Ani Phyo’s books and video’s on www.YouTube.com. I am a FOODIE. Anything to do with food is social to me and I love sharing. I have the most fun at the RAW Potluck Dinners at the studio once a month. I love testing new recipes on my fellow yoga teachers, most of whom are not RAW, but love the taste of differently made “classics”.

RAW is NOT just plain old green lettuce with celery sticks. There is a whole exciting, new world out there to explore through your taste buds! Fruits that I had passed a hundred times at the market, juicy and delicious are now enjoyed by my entire family in place of pretzels and cookies. Varieties of gorgeous green vegetables I had never heard of are now creating dishes I bring to my family holidays and they can’t believe it’s RAW!

Resources to GO RAW:

Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually.

Blue Ice Pure Cod Liver Oil

Grandma knew what she was doing by giving us cod live oil. It is high in vitamin A and D plus Omega 3 oils. The Blue Ice brand is the purist and highest vitamin content we’ve found.

“Vitamin D may be one of the most fundamentally important building blocks available to us for creating and sustaining vibrant health. In addition to its classically understood role in bone formation and calcium absorption, research has uncovered myriad roles for vitamin D, ranging from increasing muscular coordination to preventing cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases and radiation-induced tissue damage. Yet vitamin D is also considered to be "the most toxic of all vitamins..", so don’t over do it. (From Green Pasture’s Website) For more information visit www.greenpasture.org  and www.westonaprice.org.

Afraid of the fishy taste, try the mint or cinnamon flavor and fear no more.

We are also carrying Blue Ice Gold Therapeutics, a blend of high vitamin cod liver oil-- 5000IU's vitamin A, 500IU's vitamin D -- plus 100mg of high vitamin butter oil in each dose.
Without vitamin A & D our bodies don’t absorb minerals

Michigan Harvest

Michigan Harvest is a proprietary blend of sweet cherry, blackberry, blueberry and apple chosen to maximize the ORAC* score while producing a flavor filled juice drink boost. Most high antioxidant drinks use fruits from far away places in an attempt to maximize antioxidant score. At Sol Resource we created a high antioxidant drink made with fruits grown right here in the state of Michigan. A single ounce of Michigan Harvest provides you with half of your daily recommended antioxidant intake.

*ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) measures the antioxidant activity of a substance.


Cherry Harvest

American Premium Blends is proud to present Cherry Harvest. Cherry harvest is a combination of tart and sweet cherry blended in such a way to maximize benefits while providing a surprisingly refreshing taste. Cherry Harvest is all natural with no preservatives, added sugar or color. This is cherry juice the way nature intended delicious and nutritious. Tart and sweet cherry juice are both excellent sources of anthocyanins, a family of antioxidants that give cherries their bright color but also may play a critically important role in reducing inflammation, promoting joint health and reducing the symptoms of gout and arthritis. So try an ounce of Cherry Harvest your body will thank you for it.

Tart Cherry Harvest

Michigan is the top tart cherry producer in the United States harvesting 75% of the nation’s tart cherry crop. These cherries do not normally make it to your local supermarket, mostly because the tart cherry crop is sent for processing into jams, jellies, pie filling and of course tart cherry juice concentrate. Scientific research suggests that enjoying a shot of tart cherry juice concentrate might help defuse arthritis pain. It is this overwhelming scientific evidence that compelled us at American Premium Blends to create Tart Cherry Harvest, our own proprietary blend of tart cherry juice that promotes the health benefits of tart cherry juice.

Samples are available at the studio, try a bottle the taste is great.
