A Note From Pam
For some reason you clicked onto this page. Why did a nutrition expert page attract you? Are you wanting to live in a healthier way? Take better care of yourself? Not sure where to start?
I want you to know I believe in you. I believe you can make the lifestyle changes you need to make to be healthier. You don't have to make a rash of changes all at once. Take one day at a time. Make one change at a time. Maybe this week you will consistently drink 8 - 8 oz glasses of water a day. Maybe next week you will add two fruit servings a day. Then perhaps you will add 2 servings of vegies a day and so on. Gradually you can change your lifestyle and enhance your wellness. What will you do this week? Contact me at http://pamsnutritionstore.com let me know what you are going to do this week to better support your wellness. I can't wait to hear from you!

Change, You Can!
Remember when you were 20? You thought you'd live forever. Have you ever said to yourself "gee it seems like yesterday I was dying to be 21" and now here I am in my 40's (50's etc)". Wow. How does that happen? Time flies. It's a blink of an eye from "gee I need to lose 10 lbs" to "gee I need ...

Genes or Poor Choices?
Let's talk about nutrients today. Are you aware in June of 2002 there was a recommendation in JAMA (Jou al of the American Medical Association) that everyone supplement their eating regimen with a quality multi-nutrition product? There were several reasons for this recommendation. Firstly, not ...

Don't Believe the Docs
If you have a chronic illness, don't believe your docs. Let me explain. When lupus was socking it to me at the worst one of my docs referred to me in his notes as "steroid dependent" and "unfortunate". All of my docs told me I'd be on steroids (prednisone) forever. When I grew tired of hearing ...

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Pam Murphy
"Humans are the only creatures on earth which feed their children junk calories."
"My journey with Lupus was a wake-up call. Heart disease, diabetes, eye disorders, arthritis, cancer, etc are also wake-up calls. I don't want YOU to have a wake-up call. Good nutrition is your best health insurance."
"In my work as a Respiratory Therapist in a hospital, I shared along with an RN the duty of educating pulmonary patients regarding their disease and medications. Every morning we would peruse the previous days admissions to find the patients with a pulmonary diagnosis. Gradually as we looked at the admission lists every day I realized a great many of the admissions were for things which could have been prevented with nutrition and lifestyle changes."
We are so conditioned to having convenience (with microwave foods and drive-thru fast food) most of us do not think about nutrition. But we desperately need to.
Let's look at what has happened in the last 50 years with two of the most popular vegetables:
Nutrients in POTATOES have decreased: Nutrients in BROCCOLI have decreased:
Vitamin A 100% Calcium 62%
Calcium 28% Iron 33%
Vitamin C and Iron 57% Vitamin A 55%
Thiamine 18% Thiamine 40%
Riboflavin 50% Riboflavin 42%
This decrease in nutrients has happened in all of our fruits and vegetables. There-in lies the problem! Our soil is greatly depleted of nutrients by "modern" farming practices. Our produce which is lacking in nutrients to begin with is green harvested! Nutrients are transferred to produce during the ripening process. By green harvesting we cheat ourselves out of the nutrients we need. This is why servings on the food pyramid were increased and why it was recommended in the Jou
al of the American Medical Association (2002) everyone supplement with a quality multi-vitamin.
You may have a full plate but you probably aren't getting the nutrition your body needs.
What can you do?
1. Eat whole foods not processed.
2. Eat locally grown food as much as possible. You might even be able to find a local organic grower.
3. Supplement your diet with a quality multi-nutrition product.
4. Be consciously aware of the nutrition in what you eat. Don't snack mindlessly.
5. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. (I recommend spring water.)
Think about this: Every cell in your body is made from the nutrients you put into your body. You are quite literally what you eat. Take it seriously. Your health and longevity depend on it.

A Word from Pam
When I was battling Lupus I met an RN who introduced me to glyconutrition. I will be forever thankful to her. It changed my life. Someone helped me. I want to help you. Don't hesitate to contact me! Ok?
