today I want to share with you all the foods that I eat in a day and the reason
I eat all these foods is to give me lots of energy really great health vitality
and anti-aging so if you'd like to know more please keep watching hi I'm Schellea
this is fabulous fifties a lifestyle channel that explores fashion beauty and
lifestyle for women over 50 and if you're a woman over 50 click subscribe
and click the bell and you'll be alerted every time there's a new video and
they'll all relate to you today I wanted to share with you all the things that I
eat because lots of people ask me what do I eat in a day but I've got to tell
you you may find this really really boring because when I go to my sister's
place she once presented me with a really nice
platter made up of cardboard cutouts of pretend food because she thinks that the
food I eat is really really boring so anyway I'm going to share it with you
nonetheless and I want to share with you that health and nutrition is like a
really high value for me i value my health so much because i've had the
opposite to health for many years and I've gone from healthy to unhealthy to
healthy and now I've found things that really work for my body to give me
optimal health and in the past I've had adrenal fatigue from so much stress and
I've had digestion problems and I've had you know feeling exhausted and lethargic
and just generally unwell so what I've done is I've done lots of research on
foods that make me feel good and I've just stuck to it because although it's
very disciplined and I don't have any processed foods but in that discipline
for me comes feeling good and for me feeling good way outweighs not feeling
good and being unwell so let me go through with you what I had I have a
first breakfast what about second breakfast a second breakfast
snacks lunch and dinner first thing I have when I get home from the gym is a
smoothie and all the ingredients of this smoothie tastes good
combined it's a good combination and some days I have all of these products
and some days I'll have a green smoothie and throw a whole lot of fresh produce
into a blender and get it going so I have a Vitamix blender and I feel the
blender up 300 mils and I put one scoop of protein powder this is a vegetarian
protein powder and it's full of amino acids and it doesn't have any fillers
this is going to provide me with a high dose of protein and it's going to be
alkalizing and full of antioxidants so one scoop of this then I add 1 TSP of
raw cacao to make it taste chocolate it's all in the recipe this is really
yummy then I add a very heaped teaspoon of spirulina and I have this every
single day because it's very high in protein it's full of antioxidants
it's another superfood it's going inside my body it cleans out anything that
shouldn't be there and I love this every single day I have half a teaspoon of
maca I have this for my hormones to help regulate my hormones I have one bison
capsule and I break the capsule in half so the powder goes into the smoothie
this is for my hair and nails it's vitamin b7 then I have a half a teaspoon
of glutamine which is another anti-aging amino acids I'm going to do a video on
glutamine because it's a really great anti-aging supplement so half a teaspoon
of this and then I use one scoop of perfect hydrolyzed collagen which is
more amino acid so everything that's going into this smoothie has a reason
behind it and it gets me set up for the day gives me lots of energy and it's
yummy last thing I put in my smooth is my broccoli sprouts that are frozen
so I put about half of that amount in and that is going to give me sulphuraphane and I've just done a video on this and I'll leave a link up here to
show you the benefits of this magic superfoods that you should all be having
at our age so yep I put that in and then turn the blender on spin spin spin and
it's best to keep the blender going for a little bit longer if you've got the
broccoli sprouts in it so it all mixes up and it's smooth to drink for my
actual breakfast I have these things I make my own paleo bread so this recipe
for paleo toast is full of beautiful ingredients and you feel like you're
full from eating toast or bread but it's not doing any of the damage that gluten
and grains can do to some people's bodies which it does to mine so I have
toast and then on top of the toast I slice avocado and then on top of that I
put sauerkraut and I make this myself this is the easiest thing in the world
to make and I'll leave a recipe on my website for this one but this sauerkraut
is really amazing for the gut and pretty much everything I eat is to give my gut
the best chance at being healthy and strong
so fermented foods like sauerkraut are amazing to have in your diet and I
thought that I wouldn't like this but I love it and with these ingredients they
all balance each other out and it's beautiful and then on top of that I have
my broccoli sprouts so all just goes on top and it's this big and it's so
delicious again these are amazing watch the video
on broccoli sprouts and the benefits of soft urethane you're going to want to
try this for sure so that's my breakfast during the day when I'm hungry I'll eat
because I don't want deprived myself and I'll just have
sunflower seeds or raw cashews or raw almonds and I usually try and have some
fruit I eat the nuts for protein and good fats and I eat some fruit for fiber
so that's my snacks I also drink aloe vera juice which I make myself and this
is the plant and I have a video on how to make this this is an amazing stuff
for you to be putting inside your body there's so many benefits of aloe juice
and I'll leave a link up here to show you the video on that and for lunch and
dinner I'll eat these veggies so I'll cook them in different ways some days
I'll put it all through a juicer and have juice and other days I'll put these
veggies through my food processor and I'll do a stir-fry or a soup or
something like that so that's about how much I would have sometimes I might have
a little bit more depends on how hungry I am
and for flavoring I'll just have Himalayan rock salt and pepper lemons
and coconut oil will go in most things because at most meals I'll have some
sort of healthy fat with what I'm eating and nothing beats coconut oil for
keeping your skin really healthy and if you've got dry skin like I have this
taken internally is amazing for dry skin because when you don't have it you
notice it's missing so I'll have that every day another thing I might snack on
is olives and the the meat from the olives is really great for our hair and
our skin and our eyes but make sure if you're going to eat olives for health
benefits the olives just without any treatment at all are much better for you
another thing I'll have over my veggies or in my veggies is linseed when you eat
linseeds just like this you don't receive the benefits of all the goodness
that's in them all the beautiful oils you have to meal them and then when you
mill them they become active and then you put them in your
body and it starts doing the work plus every day I drink one and a half to two
of these two-liter bottles of water I use an alkalized water purifier which
oxygenates the water and I believe that's amazing for adding extra
hydration and for sweet things I have my homemade chocolate and I'll leave a
recipe up here for that this is amazing you make it yourself
it's super super easy everything here is so easy to make and this will fight any
sugar cravings you have because it's natural sugar it tastes amazing it fills
you up and it stops the cravings so check this recipe out because you're
going to love that too so that's everything I eat in the day I also take
lots of vitamins and other supplements to keep me strong and healthy I don't
really eat anything other than this I don't have sugar or coffee or processed
foods because they don't make me feel good and
I understand that it's very very difficult to give those things up but
for me it was an easy thing to do and it's easy to be disciplined because I'm
feeling great so thank you so much for watching please give a thumbs up if you
