Today’s families are busy and on the go, here are six solutions to keep your family healthy in simple and convenient ways!

6 Cup Zerowater Pitcher

ZeroWater is a five stage filtration device that is certified to reduce lead, chromium and other heavy metals by the NSF.
ZeroWater is easy to use for all family members, just pour into a reusable water bottle to keep the family hydrated with clean water.
Not all filters are created equal, most families think that all water filters take out all contaminants and this is not true. Just like we are reading labels for other foods, families should be reading labels on all water filters as well.
Zerowater is a 5-stage compared to the 2 stage conventional filters most of us are used to thinking about. Zerowater's technology (ion exchange) takes out more contaminants than other filters on the market.

Oct is National Vegetarian Month and more people are reducing their meat intake. Everyone including meat eaters, flexitarians and vegetarians will think these new organic burritos from Sweet Earth are delicious.
They're handy to have in your freezer, heat and eat in minutes.
Food you can feel good about. They're loaded with nutrients, high in protein and fiber
The Mayan and the Brazilian are two great new organic plant based burritos available at Meijer; Whole Foods and Target. The light tortilla is a blend of corn and wheat; black beans, vegetables, spices.

Leaping Lemonade kidsWATER

Our mission is to replace sugary juice boxes with a healthier sugar free option.
Children ages 4-8 eat an average of 21 teaspoons/day of added sugar (this is equivalent to over 70 pounds of added sugar per year!) Compare this to the recommended 3 teaspoons/day of added sugar for this age group. Cutting sugar from kids' drinks is one of the easiest ways to make a major change in how much added sugar your child gets every day!
kidsWATER was created by a dentist (who is also a mom to 3 little ones!)
