For many of us, healthy eating during the recent stress of the world transitioning to full-time working, educating & surviving from home these day, has been nothing less than a challenge…to say the least. Do you agree?
So, Project WE Society stepped up to support our community and hosted a virtual 7 Day Food Reset called Eat the Rainbow! Members who joined us were there to try out eat healthy by means of a Vegan or Vegetarian lifestyle or simply to just eat more fruits, veggies & healthy grains. The goal was to take in a plethora of good health supporting vitamins & minerals by eating a balanced 3 Vegan/Vegetarian meals per day while having variety in produce & grains consumed, thus the name “eat the rainbow.”
Eliminating meat, processed food and dairy (if eating vegan) offers a much decreased impact on our environment, saves the lives our animal friends (!!), and promotes our good health by reducing the risk of obesity, high blood pressure & heart disease (the #1 cause of death in the US) & promotes healthy weight, less disease in the mind & body, more energy, better sleep and more. And it can even boost your immune system, which is something that everyone needs … particularly right now.
Each of the members did a fantastic job on their individual journeys! A few pounds were lost, less meat protein was consumed and the focus & community was very much needed, for sure. To top off all of the excitement & positivity, WE found an amazing recipe from the people over at Forks Over Knives that WE love and want to share! The warm grilled pineapple & greens covered with strawberry poppy seed dressing made with REAL strawberries was Ah-Maaaazzzziinnnnngggggg! Eating grilled pineapple here in the Northeast isn’t an everyday thing so, it was a treat to enjoy this delicious this sweet but, healthy treat for a couple of days. Yum!
