OBESOGENS...yikes

i am currently enjoying "MOM ENERGY"

by Ashley Koff & Kathy Kaehler

i highly recommend this book to anyone that loves food :)

AND being on top of their game.

you could quite possibly be confused about how the two can be managed.

we all have our questions about

proper food/activity correct?

on top of being incredibly informative

this book is witty & fast paced

one of the topics the girls bring up,

i want to touch on becasue

everyone is effected by this

& MOST haven't the slightest clue

"OBESOGENS"

or Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals

these tricky little devils

have the power to

make you fat

& keep you fat

sounds great, right?

or maybe

the last thing you want to happen?

"they mimic human hormones

such as estrogen

by misprogramming

stem cells to become fat cells"

the question now is,

how do we prevent this lameness?

BY DEFINITION

Endocrine disruptors are chemicals interfere with the body’s endocrine system and produce adverse developmental, reproductive, neurological, and immune effects.

Both natural and man-made, including pharmaceuticals, dioxin and dioxin-like compounds, polychlorinated biphenyls, DDT and other pesticides. They may be found in many everyday products– including plastic bottles, metal food cans, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys & cosmetics.

Ashley explains

the benefits of

switching to organic,

if not only to protect yourself & your family,

but to aid digestion & prevent premature aging

....ok NOW who wants to read this book?!

"The Lesson: When you eat organic whole foods, your body recognizes them & you help stoke your body's metabolism. Translation: fat loss & sustained energy."

AKA (Ashley Koff Approved) buy the friggin book, you can't borrow mine, my nose is tuck in it.
