Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Month – June 2025

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Fresh Fruits & Vegetables are part of what we’ll concentrate on this month. It’s made easier when we can grow our own, now that summer is upon us.

June is Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Month:

A Celebration of Nature’s Medicine

June marks Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Month in the United States. It is a time to spotlight the critical role that produce plays in disease prevention, nutrition, and overall wellness. Backed by the USDA and health organizations like the Produce for Better Health Foundation, this observance highlights the power of plants to transform poor health into good health and maintain it.

We need to eat less “red meat,” sweets, and unnatural carbs and eat more natural fruits & vegetables.
We need phytonutrients that processed foods kill!

Healthy Foods and Proper Food Combining

“Foods that are processed should be put into the waste, not onto the waist.”

Pictures Are Worth a Thousand Words!

Healthy foods – when combined properly and used consistently – can have wonderful illness-prevention properties and may reduce bloating, gas, reflux, and other yucky symptoms!

I found a great site, Shape-Able.com. which elaborates on several kinds of foods that are best to address specific conditions. I encourage you to go to their site. However, I’ll share a few of their pictures (with permission) to give you examples. Then, you’ll know it’s worth the time to investigate more on their website!

I am not a nutritionist. Most of the classes I teach are about personal or professional development and other ways of being or becoming healthy. Examples include setting boundaries, self-care, stress reduction, meditation, working with chakras, “energy work” – like Reiki, and learning techniques for changing fears and limiting beliefs so that you can meet your personal and professional goals. However, I KNOW THAT “WE ARE WHAT WE EAT,” so I want to share this great information with you. If you want to know more about my specialties, see the Contact Us info at the end of this blog or email me at GetWellStayWell@outlook.com. Do yourself a favor, though, and see the healthy food info below first.

There ARE effective techniques for stemming cravings! Some use the tools of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), and that’s what I’ll describe in this article by providing a video and a script for you to use.

(You also will see some astonishing statistics about the effectiveness of NLP under “Interesting Factoids.”)

In a separate blog Food Combos ~ Do Your Habits Hurt or Enhance Your Health?, I offer information from experts about the proper selection and combining of the foods you eat in each meal.

These affect your health, your weight, your complexion, and more.

In order to make the most of your desire for good health, you can learn all about it by viewing both articles in quick succession.

Note: NLP can be used for an enormous variety of issues (e.g., overcoming fears, phobias, or PTSD) or desires for excellence in achieving (e.g., business success, happiness, harmonious relationships, or spiritual growth), to name a few.

Using your imagination, you can discover many ways in which it could help you in both professional and personal life. If you want to learn more or to book me for a free initial consultation, email GetWellStayWell@Outlook.com and put NLP Inquiry in the subject line. But, first, let’s read this blog!

An Informal Video About Overcoming Cravings

If you can find the patience to watch this short video, you might discover something that can help you – either quickly or with just a teensy little bit of practice! Yes, it’s 15 whole minutes long! For some of you, that’s “forever,” but the information can save you a lifetime of ill-health and excess bodyfat! That would seem to be worth it, right?

(If you prefer, just watch the first part. It is a bit of an NLP exercise about substituting a desire to replace cravings for sugar and flour-laden desserts with a desire to eat fruit. It runs to about 6 1/2 minutes into this informal presentation. Skip the rest of the nutritional info, and then, you can scroll down for the NLP script plus the other tips.)

Soups for Winter Comfort and Good Health

Soups I Created ~ Much to My Amazement

I am not a chef. I’m not even a good cook. However, these soups have received rave reviews from the people who have eaten them. Some suggested the sweet versions could be used as a dessert and could be served with vanilla ice cream!

Hints:

  1. These pumpkin or broth soups can be as thin or as thick as you want them to be. Vary them simply by changing the amount of liquid you add to the sweet ones and whether you add instant potatoes or a gravy to the savory ones.
  2. These soups may be strictly vegetarian – or not – depending on your choices about whether to add broths, chicken, fish, or other meats, and if you choose to add rice or other kinds of pasta.
  3. When serving, instead of using typical white crackers, serve with oyster crackers, Ritz crackers, cornbread, or various flavors of croutons to make things special.
