Taste The Rainbow, Carson City!

Taste The Rainbow!
Those headaches.

That lack of energy.

The diabetes.

The weird skin condition.

The depression.

That acid reflux.

That extra padding around your thighs, tummy, and fanny.

And lots of other bad stuff besides.

What am I talking about?

All of the ailments above can be traced back to WHAT YOU EAT!

It makes perfect sense once you pause to think about it.

Your health is a direct reflection of the health of your cells.

You see, you need a constant supply of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) in order to function at peak form. When you fail to give your cells the quantity and quality they need the health of your cells begins to deteriorate.

Remember: Your overall health follows your cells.

How can you get more micronutrients and improve the health of your cells?

Easy: Eat the rainbow. (My grandfather has recommended this for fifty years)
