Boost Your Immune System & Enhance Your Health With The World’s Most Powerful Superfood & Enter Our Giveaway!

Would you like a quick and easy way to get loads of nutrients into your system?

There is a lot of controversy surrounding what we should and shouldn’t eat but one thing that’s never up for debate is the fact that we all need lots of vegetables every single day. How does getting the nutritional equivalent of a plateful of veggies from one tablet sound? And what if I told you that tablet was actual food, not a supplement? Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it? It certainly intrigued me.

That superfood is algae. There are so many health benefits that it is mind blowing. Hear all about them on this week’s episode of Clean Beauty Scene podcast. My guest, the country’s leading expert on algae nutrition, Catharine Arnston, Founder & CEO of ENERGYbits, explains the many phenomenal science backed health and beauty benefits. Click hear to listen. 

We’ve partnered for a wonderful giveaway! Enter below to win a box of BEAUTYbits Spirulina Algae Tablets AND a 1:1 Wellness & Life Coaching Session with Kelly.

Algae is the most powerful nutrient-dense superfood on the planet. It has thousands more nutrients than any fruit or vegetable containing all essential amino acids, the highest concentration of protein, iron, beta carotene, and antioxidants, as well as B-vitamins, electrolytes, and omega 3’s!

It’s also the most eco-friendly sustainable, you know this Eco girl loves that aspect as well. It’s been used for thousands of years most notably in Asia where it’s a multibillion-dollar agricultural crop. 

You will find the incredible information that Catharine shares in the episode about algae and its history absolutely fascinating. You’ll hear about how Spirulina was the first life on earth almost 4 billion years ago! You might even hear my Cher impression.

Algae is a beautiful companion to your clean beauty routine because it naturally helps your body detox.

There are tens of thousands of scientific studies validating the benefits of algae, including some about COVID-19. It’s been used for thousands of years most notably in Asia where it’s a multibillion-dollar agricultural crop. It’s endorsed by the UN as the answer to world hunger.

ENERGYbits gives you a seriously simple way to assimilate this super food into your diet with high quality algae tablets. It’s the quickest easiest way to get the nutritional equivalent of platefuls of veggies without cooking, peeling, chopping or cleaning! Genius. 

They fuel NFL and Olympic teams with ENERGYbits.

Nutrient-rich algae is highly beneficial in building a strong immune system which is always vital and it’s more crucial than ever right now as we face this pandemic.

Do you struggle with insomnia or 3 AM wakings? Chlorella has the highest amount of tryptophan – precursor to melatonin.

It’s important to note, these ENERGYbits tablets are not supplements, they are real food. On a personal level, I can’t tell you how excited I am to have these amazing nutrients in my life. To know that by just having a few tablets a day I am getting the equivalent of platefuls of nutritious vegetables is remarkable. Even my teenage boys are happy that they can get this amount of nutrition in one tiny tablet. Isn’t the packaging gorgeous? Catharine designs all the packaging herself!

Don’t Let Them Poison Our Strawberries

Strawberries are packed full of vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants but when they’re sprayed with highly toxic chemicals, how healthy is that? Not so much! Some strawberries are doused with up to 13 different pesticides, such a shame since most kids love to snack on them. It’s criminal. Harmful pesticides can cancel out many of the wonderful health benefits we get from our delicious fruits and vegetables.

 

Don't let them poison our strawberries

Toxic pesticides like the fumigant chloropicrin are sprayed on fields before planting and their harmful effects drift from farms into nearby neighborhoods, schools, day care centers, playgrounds, businesses, etc. posing serious health risks and threatening the environment. Crop workers are subjected to this harmful exposure on a daily basis.

The Environmental Working Group [EWG] needs our help. They’ve partnered with the Pesticide Action Network to deliver a petition to Brian Leahy, director of the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, demanding strong regulations for chloropicrin, recommending the phasing out of fumigants and using safer options by 2020. Please join me in signing this important petition and demand safer strawberries!

When Should You Choose Organic?

To go organic or to not go organic. There are many benefits to buying organic. The majority of experts in the scientific community believe pesticides have adverse effects on health and on our environment. Babies and children are at even higher risk when exposed because their delicate systems are not fully developed.

hot-farmers-market-lgCertified organic produce is not grown with genetically modified seeds, fossil fuel or sewage-based fertilizers or manmade chemical pesticides. The same goes for certified organic meat  and dairy and you can be assured the animals were not given antibiotics or genetically engineered bovine growth hormones. Organic farmers conserve water and soil, use renewable resources and do not irradiate their crops.

                      Research shows that we can lower our health risks by as much as 94% by choosing organic produce

There is no doubt about it, organic can be costly. Save some $$ by buying conventionally when it comes to what the Environmental Working Group [EWG] calls them The Clean 15: onions, sweet corn, pineapples,  avocado, asparagus, frozen sweet peas, mangoes, eggplant, cantaloupe (although other sources say that cantaloupe has a dangerous amount of pesticides so this one’s up for debate), kiwi, cabbage, sweet potatoes, grapefruit & papaya. Tests show that after washing these fruits and vegetables they were least likely to have pesticide residue on the parts you eat. 

I always buy organic when it comes to the The Dirty Dozen. The Dirty Dozen are 12+(there are a few ‘bonus’ items added) fruits and vegetables that still have high pesticide levels even after having been washed: apples (pesticides pool around the stem & drip down inside through the core), celery, strawberries (because they are low to the ground, farmers typically give them a lot more pesticide to ward off bugs), peaches, spinach, imported nectarines, grapes, hot & bell peppers (they have the largest amount), cucumbers (can have as many as 35 pesticides), cherry tomatoes, summer squash, spinach (it can drink in pesticides through its stalks), potatoes, snap peas and kale/collard greens. Lettuce, sweet bell peppers, and blueberries didn’t make the list this year but were on previous lists so I still try to buy those organic. Some argue that pesticides are used on organic crops as well. Yes, naturally occurring pesticides may be used but they are less harmful than most synthetic pesticides.

farm_suit_0804If ingesting pesticides along with your food doesn’t phase you, how about the humanity aspect? While earning poor wages, hard working crop workers on conventional farms are working in extremely unhealthy conditions as they are subjected to heavy pesticide exposure on a daily basis. Consumers can buy organic but this doesn’t solve the problem for farmers, farmworkers or the environment.

The harmful effects of fumigants drifting from farms into nearby neighborhoods, schools, daycare centers, etc. is another dilemma according to The Pesticide Action Network.

Equally important is choosing household cleaners and personal care products that are truly organic. Our skin absorbs up to 60% of what we put on it. The scalp, groin, and underarms absorb up to 100% so keep your products clean. Check ingredients. Many companies claim to be natural but they are not. One name you can trust to be 100% free of toxic chemicals is Pure Haven, the entire line is pure.

Visit your local farmer’s market. Many may not be certified organic farms but they grow their produce organically without toxic pesticides. Plus there is the added benefit of supporting local growers. And of course, an 528695217economical and convenient option is to grow your own. We just put in a lemon tree, we have some herbs and a strawberry plant but it’s not exactly flourishing so I’ll have to learn more about it. Do you have any tips on growing your own fruits and vegetables?
