Nearly 4 out of 10 adults under the age of 55 skip breakfast. Surprising, isn’t it – especially for a culture that seems built on breakfast foods like cereal, pancakes, and breakfast chains like Denny’s and IHOP? You’d expect us to make eating the first priority of the day. Yet many of us don’t, and among those who do eat, half of them inhale their food while rushing to meet the day. Who has the time nowadays to cook eggs, bacon, [...]

It has been nearly two years since I was diagnosed with cancer and I’m just now starting to consider myself a Cancer Survivor. After being diagnosed, I did whatever was necessary to not only save my life, but to get healthy so that I could live a long and productive life. When I came upon the opportunity to try the NutriBullet, I was desperately seeking the right tool to build my strength back up from the surgeries and to help [...]

I think we all know both processes provide incredible health benefits. Certainly, the NutriBullet takes blending to a whole new level, enhancing the absorption of nutrients.
