COPD'er/Emphysema~1 Easy Step to Boost Your Immune System

Again, from Mike's newsletter. 1 very easy step to improved immune system. Enjoy and good health!

Just a quick tip today on a very simple way to make every meal you eat a lot healthier... here it is:


Make sure to ALWAYS include at least 1 source (or more) of high-antioxidant food or drink with each and every meal or snack you eat. This could be many different things...


*iced green, white, oolong, or red tea (unsweetened or very lightly sweetened with raw honey or stevia)

*hot tea (unsweetened or very lightly sweetened with honey or stevia)*pure unsweetened cocoa

*berries (blue, straw, rasp, black, etc)

*red wine (in moderation...still high cal so watch the quantity)

*raw and cooked vegetables


What I like to strive for is to try to get at least 1 vegetable with every meal I eat. Usually for bigger meals like dinner, I'll try to get at least 1 raw vegetable (or a full salad) and at least 1 cooked vegetable (there are benefits to both raw and cooked vegetables).


In addition to at least 1 vegetable with every meal, it's a huge benefit to at least try to get some other form of antioxidant-rich food/drink into the meal. For example, if you're having a smoothie, you could add pure cocoa powder(unsweetened) to the smoothie;

Or if you're having a turkey sandwich, you could add a glass of unsweetened tea and/or a handful of berries;

Or if you're having a piece of sprouted grain toast with almond butter, you could add a cup of hot green, white, or oolong tea with it.


You get the idea.


It goes a long way to helping your body battle free radicals by having a constant supply of natural antioxidants with each meal.

*One last note for today:
If you'd like some extra motivation to get in great shape by summer (and win some cashola in the process), my colleague Rob Poulos is having a contest (similar to the old Body for Life contests), and you could win your share of $2300 in cashola by entering! All you have to do is grab a copy of Rob's Fat Burning Furnace program, and then you can enter the contest. What do you have to lose? Nothing but a lot of body fat and possibly make some decent coin at the same time! Go to the following site to enter (once on the page, click the link below the days counter for the contest info):

(Note from Luna: I went to the above site and clicked on the link just below the counter and received the 40+page free ebook totally free of charge. In only minutes I had it in my email. So, you can get the info for free. YAY!)

That's all for today.
Til next time,Don't be lazy... be lean.
