The June 17th Pink Essentials meeting was led by Emily on the topic of Fruits and Vegetables. She focused on providing practical information to fit into daily life like how to pick and store produce.
“I want you to get your biggest nutrition bang for your buck,” Emily said.
Many people forget that fruits and vegetables have lots of water in them. Every chemical and biochemical reaction in the body requires water. Water intake also helps with weight management.
Produce is filled with fiber. Many researchers say soluble fiber may also lower LDL cholesterol.
Look in the Tips sections for “Produce Pointers” as provided by Emily at the meeting.
Congratulations to all eight losers this week! Sue Duffy, Claudette Hagle, Mary Hollingshead, Betty laMarche, Mary Martinez, Sharon Mathis, Marie Milleage and Nancy Roberts all lost weight this week.

This is an excellent idea for a blog. Knowing many women in my family and also friends who have battled breast cancer, this is definitely a site I will tell people about including my uncle who is an oncologist. Hopefully, by sharing this site with him and his fellow doctors, they will be able to refer their patients to your site and give them an outlet for support.

This meeting was especially informative. Many people think of fruits as healthy, sweet treats, but to learn that fruits contain the fiber we need for healthy dgestive systems makes the information all the more valuable.
Thanks, ladies, for the smoothies. With the summer heat, it’s a pleasure to have an alternative to ice cream — and tasty, too.
