The truth about aging isn’t what you think

Getting older is tough...

It's not just the responsibilities…

It's not that your body doesn't feel like it used to...

It's the fact that everyone else is getting older too.

Friends. Family. Mom. Dad. ME….

As I watch this unfold, I can't help but think about my overall health.

You see, before I took my health seriously, I relied on fast food to get me through the day.

But when I had a health scare, it opened my eyes. I needed to start taking care of myself.

I may not be able to control everything…

...but I can control what I put into my body.

Like Turmeric for example.

I take it each day.

So does my mom.

It's a powerful anti-inflammatory which supports a number of bodily processes, and helps us feel our best.

And this is why my company Truvani is offering our Turmeric Supplement at 25% off the retail price for anyone who wants to get it shipped each month.

It's helped me and now I want it to help you, too.

Here's the link

Plus, you'll get a mini-guide filled with Truvani's best summer health tips and yummy, turmeric-based recipes.

So, try our Daily Turmeric today, and let us know what you think.

XO,

Vani

P.S. When I launched Truvani, our Daily Turmeric was our first product. Now it has more than 2,000 verified buyer reviews.

Here's a sample:

"Very very pleased with the turmeric curcumin. Awesome product." - Naajidah M.

"Open the lid and take a whiff of Truvani's Turmeric Curcumin with black pepper, and your senses will tell you that this is a wonderful product! So fresh and clean smelling, my body knows it is getting a high quality product, and it's great to have Truvani's 100% organic guarantee to back it up. I take these daily, so please keep making it! :)" - Holly S.

Summertime: Expectations vs. hard-hitting reality

Summer is supposed to be a season where life gets a little simpler:

Our workload gets a bit lighter…

We get more time off...

The days are longer, giving us more time to spend with friends and family…

Now, with all this *extra* time, you'd think sticking to healthy routines would be a breeze right?

Wrong.

Our health goals don't always make it onto the agenda.

Which reminds me of a question I get asked all the time:

"How do you live a healthy life, Vani?"

In other words…

How do I juggle my desire to be healthy with working full-time, being a mom, and trying to enjoy life?

And the truth is…

It's not always easy, but it's always possible.

The trick?

Keep things simple.

Don't try to do everything at once. Start with one small healthy habit and do it each day.

When it becomes a routine, add another small habit.

That's it.

Next thing you know, you'll have a fully automated health routine.

How can you get started?

I LOVE to eat foods that can help maintain healthy inflammation responses.

And it's as simple as taking this each morning.

It may seem too easy, but taking this each day helps me feel like my best.

Now, I'd like you to try it, too.

Xo,

Vani

“I’m from Europe and U.S. food scares me”

I saw this comment on an article I shared on Facebook: "I am from Europe and eating some food here in the US scares me. I am very picky when doing groceries."

I had shared a news article from The Guardian about how the food in the U.S. is filled with risky ingredients that aren't used in Europe:

"It may sound odd, but in America, your loaf of bread can contain ingredients with industrial applications – additives that also appear in things like yoga mats, pesticides, hair straighteners, explosives and petroleum products. Some of these chemicals, used as optional whiteners, dough conditioners and rising agents, may be harmful to human health…[and] despite petitions from several advocacy groups – some dating back decades – the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) still considers these to be Gras or "generally recognized as safe" to eat, though plenty of experts disagree."

As I wrote extensively about in my book Feeding You Lies, not only does the U.S. FDA allow thousands of virtually unregulated additives in our food, some major food companies sell safer and cleaner versions of their products overseas without all these crazy additives.

If there is one thing that makes us mad about our food, this one takes the cake. I've heard from hundreds of you (probably thousands, actually) who are so fed up and want to do something to clean up our food. You ask me, what can we do next?

We've been doing long-range planning here at Food Babe headquarters... And I'm happy to report that we have a couple incredible new projects in the works. We're going to do some things that we've never done before (but that many of you have asked for!)

These projects are still in the early planning stages... so I'm not quite ready to announce what we're working on yet, but just know they'll take what we've already done to the next level and will reach more people who don't know the truth about our food. And we want your input!

My team and I want to hear from you…

  • What can we do to help your personal health mission or your family?
  • Do you want to petition another food company to change? Who and why?
  • Is there a specific food brand that we need to investigate or expose?
  • How do you like to consume information, is it through social media, podcasts or YouTube?

Simply reply to this email and tell me. We are reading EVERY single email!

I can't wait to hear your ideas and what you think. This will help shape our future projects and could make a huge difference in the world. You and me together, along with the entire Food Babe Army. Let's do it!

Xo,

Vani

P.S. I'm dead serious when I say that I want to personally hear from you. Please hit the reply button and tell me your thoughts. It only takes a few minutes and means so much.

I kick myself for not doing this sooner.

I kick myself almost every day for not doing this sooner. My hair and skin have never been the same and I'm so thankful for figuring this simple trick out so everyone can reap the benefits just like me! And it's super affordable.

Having access to clean and unpolluted water is very important to your health. You can eat the best organic food on the planet, but if you are drinking water that is full of toxins, that effort could be compromised. Tap water can be full of pollutants like arsenic, aluminum, prescription drugs, chlorine, fluoride, disinfection byproducts, and a host of other substances that are known carcinogens (things that cause cancer and diseases). One of the sources of tap water that I was being exposed to daily, and neglecting for a long time, was my shower water.

It wasn't until a company called Aquasana contacted me, and asked me to try out their shower filter, that I finally stopped ignoring my conscience and better judgment. Given that your skin is your largest organ, and your body absorbs what you put on it – bathing with clean water is crucial for your health.

After receiving the Aquasana shower filter, I opened the box and immediately thought – "Oh no, is the filter going to affect the water pressure?! Do I really want to install this? What am I doing?" All I could think about was that my hair was going to take forever to shampoo and condition. The installation only took 2 minutes - I turned on the faucet and much to my surprise, the water pressure was so good! I haven't missed my old showerhead for even a second.

And to be completely honest, if the water filter reduced the pressure, I would have probably taken it down and tried another brand – have you seen how long my hair is?!

After a couple of months of using the shower filter, I could tell a noticeable difference between taking a shower at home vs. at a hotel when traveling.

When I get out of the shower at home now, I use less oils and moisturizers on my skin – which is pretty incredible. I have noticed a significant change in the softness of my skin and hair. Though, the real magic happens in what I can't see – the reduction of the daily toxins I was being exposed to that could accumulate and cause disease in my body over time.

You can save up to 50% on their water filtration systems right now with free shipping - but this ends tonight!

BONUS: Exclusively for the Food Babe Army, when you enter the code FOODBABE at checkout and spend at least $199, they will send you two free filter water bottles ($40 value). These bottles come with their own filters inside - so you can filter tap water anywhere. Your purchase supports what we do here at Food Babe - so thank you!

A shower filter is a must, no matter who you are... and here are some other options I recommend:

  • If you're on a tight budget, start out with their Countertop Water Filter. This is perfect if you are living in a rental too!
  • A step up are their under the counter models, which install easily under your sink.
  • If you'd like to make sure to filter out fluoride, they have a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system that is certified to filter all the above contaminants + fluoride.
  • For the most complete solution, you can get a Whole House Filter. This gives you the peace of mind that the water from every tap in your home is filtered for up to 10 years. I personally love knowing that I can get clean water from every tap in the house, including the bathroom for brushing my teeth and showering.

Simply click on each filter option to learn about its features and compare here.

Remember the 50% off sale and bonus gift offer ends tonight.

If you know anyone using unfiltered water, please forward this email to them and let them know how much money they can save. Here's to healthy, clean water for everyone!

Xo,

Vani

P.S. If you're not sure if you'll love it, here's are some emails I got this week from people who bought an Aquasana system...

"Vani, Thank you! I already have the water machine that I bought last year upon your recommendation. I love it so much that I bought one for my Mama and they love it too! Up until they got the water machine, they were drink gross bottled water from costco and I told them that i was going to gift them the water machine after tasting the gross bottled water at their home. It was so disgusting that I didn't drink anything during a meal. Now they have first hand experience to the awesomeness of Aquasana! I am now buying the shower filter. Again, thank you for all of the awesome information that you are providing!!!" ~ Derek A.

"We have this filter and love it ! I do the same thing, other than the maybe couple cups of coffee the rest is my precious water " ~ J. Stewart

P.P.S. Don't forget to enter the code FOODBABE at checkout to get your two free filter water bottles. These are really nice to have while traveling!

I hope you aren't drinking this.

The other day at the gym someone stopped me and asked, "What are you drinking?"

I looked down at my stainless steel bottle and said, "Oh, it's just my water!"

I fill up a bottle with pure filtered water from home and carry it with me pretty much wherever I go.

Drinking clean water is very important to me.

As I'm sure you're aware, most tap water is tainted with contaminants like heavy metals, harsh cleaning chemicals, pharmaceuticals and pesticides. I don't want to be drinking any of those substances… or using contaminated water to make my coffee and tea at home. That's why a good home water filter is so important for health and can save you literally hundreds of dollars in bottled water costs every single year.

I'm impressed with the water filters made by partner Aquasana because they have inexpensive filter options that work anywhere (even in apartments!), their water always tastes great, the NSF certified filters last a long time, and are easy to replace. I partnered up with them to let you know how you can save big on their filter systems...

Get up to 50% OFF Aquasana Water Filter Systems + get FREE shipping + 2-pack of BPA-free filter bottles when you spend at least $199 and enter the code FOODBABE - (Offer ends Friday 6/14/19. Value of the 2-pack filter water bottles is $40.)

All Aquasana drinking water filters are certified to remove and reduce…

  • Chlorine and chloramines
  • Heavy metals like lead and mercury
  • Chlorine resistant cysts like giardia and cryptosporidium
  • Herbicides, pesticides
  • VOCs
  • Pharmaceuticals like estrone and ibuprofen
  • and more...

If you'd like to make sure to filter out fluoride, they have a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system that is certified to filter all the above contaminants + fluoride.

Simply click on each filter option to learn about its features and compare here.

And remember, when you spend at least $199 and enter the code FOODBABE at checkout, you'll get two free filter water bottles ($40 value). These bottles are really cool because they come with their own filters inside - so you can filter tap water anywhere (think airports!) and they are made from BPA-free plastic that won't leach toxins into your water.

Best of all, you can save up to 50% off right now (this huge discount expires Friday) and they have a 90 day return policy if for any reason you don't like the filter...which is perfect, so you have enough time to see how much money you are saving when you quit buying bottled water.

Choose your healthy water filter system here.

Here's to saving big bucks on this healthy habit!

Xo,

Vani

 

P.S. Your purchase also supports the work we do here at Food Babe, so thank you! I only partner with the best companies I personally have used and trust.
