Day 14



I just love lazy sleep-ins when the rain is falling - it is one of life's simple pleasures. When we lived in Far North QLD it rained so hard you couldn't hear each other. We were most fortunate to live in a little piece of secluded paradise (the top photos of our home at the lakehouse) and the third photo is from our favourite swimming spot Josephine Falls - the water so crystal clear and cool on a hot day - it was glorious!  It was so so green up there, an abundance of water and sunshine made everything come alive. Nature really does show us the way - mostly green with some colour and this is a great model to follow for our diet. As you know I have been starting my day with green juices and wanted to share a few reason why greens are so important for us at a cellular level. So chlorophyll is the component in plants that enables photosynthesis to occur. It also closely matches human blood with magnesium at its centre whereas blood's core is iron - it assists our cells to absorb oxygen and releases carbon dioxide so when you eat greens you're giving your cells a massive boost. Greens also alkalise the body and make our cells a very unfriendly place for cancer and other disease which thrive in acidic, anaerobic environments (lacking oxygen). So fill those baskets with dark leafy greens and your bodies will love you!
