Video: Food Is Medicine - Simple Steps To Fill Your Plate With Delicious Food by Julieanna Hever

Dear brothers and sisters,

We are pleased to bring to you a brilliant talk by Julieanna Hever, “Food is Medicine: Simple Steps to fill your plate with Delicious Food”. She begins by advising that a plant-based diet is the only diet that actually reverses advanced stage cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.She goes on show how one can delightfully integrate such a diet into one’s life.

Then Ben with Grow Veg bubbles with excitement as he takes us along with him as he harvests alive, organic food to feed his family.

Next, we’ve extended the deadline for our Garden Tour Video Contest. Its now Labor Day, Sept 5th. Go ahead, take us on a tour of your Victory Garden and win a $180 gift certificate.

Chef AJ shares with us some useful and much needed tips on weight loss.

We close with a magnificent video on The Lewis and Clark Expedition. It speaks to us, saying that despite the challenges on every side, the American spirit will emerge renewed and regenerated.

May we wish you and family, good health, prosperity and success.
