Our eating habits determine the results we get when it comes to shedding excess pounds and getting fit. It is impossible to reach your fitness and weight loss goals by eating junk food. I'm a P90X® user and even with those challenging workouts, I will not get results if make poor food choices. If you are familiar with P90X then chances are you have heard of Michi's Ladder.

I was channel flipping not too long ago and stumbled upon one of the home shopping networks. They were advertising a fruit and vegetable emulsifier. I was quite impressed with this kitchen appliance. I own a juicer which I use often to juice fruits and vegetables, but the emulsifier seems like a better appliance in terms of what it can do.
The Power - First of all, I was blown away by the power of this type of blender. Unlike the average blender which is great for blending liquid, you can load it up chunks of fruit, ice, vegetables, and it will blend everything with no problem.
Versatility - Because emulsifiers are powerful and can handle whatever food you place in it, you can create items such as soups, smoothies, and sorbets. A regular blender could probably do the same but it would probably take more effort. The demonstration I watched was able to shred cooked chicken breast. My blender would jam up for sure trying to do that.

I have met people who like drinking milk on a regular basis and those who think milk is no good for our bodies. Like many people, I always viewed milk as a great way to get your calicum. I'm always told by my doctor to make sure I'm getting about 1200 mg of calcium per day. You have probably been told the same thing, especially if you are a woman, because getting enough calcium is supposed to increase bone density and help prevent osteoporosis.
Some people view milk as the number one way to get calcium. However, I have also heard viewpoints such as cow's milk is meant for cows and not for humans. If you drink milk just for the calcium, it's important to know that there are many varieties of food that are excellent sources to include:

My sister told me to try Lifeway Kefir and I finally purchased a bottle of plain to try it out. If you don't know what Kefir is, it is basically like yogurt but much more nutritious. It's known for having probiotics which help in digestion. For those of you who don't drink milk or eat yogurt because of lactose intolerance, kefir can be easily digested.
Drinking the plain by itself is not that tasty. I would recommend blending it with frozen fruit or mixing it with fruit as a snack. Lifeway Kefir comes in other flavors but check the labels as they are sweetened with sugar.
If you do eat yogurt or drink milk, I would say try this product out (at least the plain version.)
