Last week’s challenge:
- The challenge was to drink two glasses of 8oz. of water a day
- Joe said that he did pretty well as he drinks lots of water anyways
- He also mentioned that when eating salty food, it is important to drink plenty of fluides to flush salt out of your body
Next week’s challenge:
- Joe challenges you to eat raw nuts at least 2 times this week
- He will try to do the same as well

Common Sense about Nuts

- Replace one portion of meat with nuts
- Roasting destroys nutrients
- Sprouting nuts 12-24 hours activates nutrients and easier to digest
