I think I’ll have to make my husband watch this video. I didn’t know that ginger makes you sweat…..
Yes I think my husband needs to watch it also. my husbands eats nothing but fried foods, but never gains a pound, ugh! I didn’t know that about ginger either. I am also going to try it when I get sick. It might also be helpful to someone who is pregnant.
My daughter is also one who eats junk and fried foods and never gains either. I will definately be trying it next time I am sick to my stomach.
OOowwee..Alot of people need to see this food…
I had no idea ginger made you sweat either, and with how much I sweat already it makes me want to aviod it completely.
Just because someone eats junk food and they don’t gain weight, does not mean that it is not doing damage to the inside of their body. The junk in a lot of fast foods is extremely high in fat and sodium. This can increase your risk for a stroke. A stroke is considered a “silent killer”. It is silent because you don’t always see outside signs or symptoms, but only what is killing you is happening on the inside. I am sure we all have known a very thin person who has had a heart attack or stroke.
Wonderful video! Very informative and gave a great insight to how our bodies need to be healthy on the inside to look great on the outside. I grew up with my mother being an all organic vegetarian. So many of the Super Foods and their nutritional values were familiar to me, but I found myself listening a little bit closer and really taking in the information. Isn’t that how it goes. You hear the same things from your mother for years, but it sinks in just a little bit more when hearing it from someone else. Being pregnant I do know first hand Ginger is great for nausea. It does help.
Again thank you for the great video!
I took ginger like crazy during all 3 of my pregnancies, and it did help a bunch!
Lucky :0) I took all different forms of ginger and it didn’t really help. I had to go to the doctor and get a prescription for nausea. It’s weird because it helped with my first child.
I wish I would have known that during my pregnancy …. no one told me.
I agree, although I would hear it from my nana. I like to eat healthy but some of the information I wasn’t aware of. I was so sick when I was pregnant, knowing about the benefit of ginger would have really helped.
I wish I would have known about ginger when I was pregnant. I might not have known about it then but I will be trying it out the next time im feeling sick at my stomach.
I can’t stand the taste of ginger no matter how healthy. The taste just lingers in your mouth forever too.
I also enjoyed the first video- very cute.
The second video was very helpful. Some of these super foods I knew of but forget to eat, others were some I was not aware of. I have never tried butternut squash- that is something I would like to try. I always knew ginger was good for cold and flus, but did not know why. Also, I am now craving spinach =)
I agree with you. The first video was very cute and the second video I feel is very helpful to people who want to learn and know what foods are healthy for you and what foods aren’t. I too want to try butternut squash one day and for the spinach, it has to grow on me!
The first video is so cute, but makes a good point drinking water can keep you not only living younger, but also looking younger. The second video had me hooked. I am strugling with adult acne and have never had it before. I am looking forward to trying these things out, because yes I am guilty for eating fast food at 2am.
I have been known to leave a friends house and stop by taco bell late at night/early morning as well. I completely understand where you are coming from with the acne. I no longer have it but it is very difficult to deal with. I had it in my younger teenage years, but a very severe case! Best of luck!!
Yes I really enjoyed the first video also. I am VERY guilty about eating fast foods. I eat fast food basically every day for many reasons. Its fast, cheap, and easy, especially since I’m gone all day at school and clinicals and am so far from home that its almost my only option
The first video was extremely cute.
The second video was very informative. I’ve always liked eating vegatables. But i had no idea each one had its own purpose. I just always ate them because they tasted good.
I am the same way. I have always loved my vegetables, besides peas, but have never known all the perks it has in eating it.This makes me want to eat more and more veggies.
hahaha I agree knowing all of the good things that happen when you eat these things is almost inspiring.
This video was so simple, yet so packed with valuable information!! I plan on seriously adjusting my diet already! I do eat a lot of what was listed and described here… but now I know what else to eat, and what it will do for me!
I agree. The video was packed full of valuable information. I adjusted my diet the night i watched the video and I’ve noticed a difference in the way i feel.
Its funny you say that about adjusting your diet already…i thought the same thing when i saw these videos….and the ones after this just confirmed it!!
It’s amazing how the smallest adjustments in diet, activity, mental processes, etc., can have the biggest effect on us! I have lost three pounds since I started taking this course, and I plan on losing more by Christmas!
Overall, this was a good and informative video. However, I disagree with one point addressed in the video. First, I do not believe 2% or whole milk is inappropriate for good nutrition. Furthermore, I am sure they are recommending pasteurized and homogenized milk. Many holistic physicians, nutritionists, and naturalists are now recommending raw dairy products which contain the most enzymes and beneficial bacteria for even better health. Much of these enzymes and beneficial bacteria are lost during the pasteurization process. Raw milk from a good and clean dairy where cows or goats are properly cared for and allowed organic grass to graze and browse on is much more healthy than pasteurized and homogenized milk. I raise my own dairy goats, and I am sure the care I give my animals and the processing of the milk will stand up against any big milk corporation’s cleanliness policies. The lack of cleanliness and improper care of the sick animals is why they must pasteurize their milk.
I would remember the first video for the dancing babies, not the water that it is advertising. If I were to have a conversation with another friend and tell them about the advertisement, I would probably never mention or even be able to remember the name (Evian) of the water.
However, the second video was quite informative and focused mainly on just the foods at hand. No outside distractions, just the food that was being discussed. I was able to focus more on the immediate information. I think we have entirely to many distractions these days already. I will remember the second advertisement for specifics about the food and their nutritional and health benefits. I also realized that I would eat healthier if I had a chef to prepare these wonderful vegetables and foods!
What great information! I really enjoyed reading your comments! I have always been interested in raising goats. Do you do this in Arkansas?
Yes, we raise our dairy goats here in Arkansas. We absolutely love our raw dairy products, and I would not want to do with out it! Once you taste the fullness of untouched dairy, you won’t want anything else!
I love that first video, it’s super cute. The second video taught me a lot of stuff I didn’t know, most that many people probably already knew. I didn’t know that ginger helps with nausea or makes you sweat for that matter. I find it interesting that broccoli can be a substitute for non-milk drinkers. I love broccoli and milk and knock on wood I’ve never broke a bone in my body, maybe it has something to do with how much milk i drink and broccoli I eat. Also at the begining of the video I caught how fast food was cut out of the diet and the complection became better. I quit eating fast food about two months ago and before this video I never even noticed how my complection had cleared up.
Water pretty much helps with everything! I too have noticed the less I eat out the better my complexion is too! But then again being a girl, we all have that “time of the month” and I don’t know about you but I get cravings and its hard to resist ha ha!
The first video was too cute. The babies creeped me out for some reason (and yes, I have children).
I don’t eat fast food unless I get a vegetable sandwich from subway or a vegetable wrap from Arby’s. Yes, Arby’s will give you a whole grain wrap with vegetables on it! I am really interested in learning more about the health benifits of super foods. It’s interesting that no meats were listed, except for salmon. Pescatarianism really is the way to go.
I don’t think I could do just veggies when I’m at subway or Arbys. More power to you and I love it that you can go to a fast food place and eat healthy. I would love to do that, but I love eating chicken and curly fries. Nowadays eating healthy will definitely help us keep up with busy schedules and keep us energized enough to want to do anything. I drink cokes while I’m at work and I do see a difference in the way I feel when I’m eating junky.
The first video will be remembered for the dancing babies, not the water that it was advertising (Evian). If I were to tell a friend about the video, I don’t even know that I could recall the name of the water at that time. However, the second video was quite informative and didn’t overload with you outside distractions. I will remember the specifics about the foods that were discussed. I love and am eating all the foods that were discussed. I’m also trying to make sure I introduce my children to these “super foods”. They even request me to cook them. They love grilled broccoli and we are going to eat ginger salads tomorrow for lunch. I’m going to research and find some new recipes for these foods. I’ve also realized that we would all eat more of these foods if we had a chef to prepare them for us!
I liked the second video very informative, the first one was a bit creepy.

The first video is so cute but the second video is very imformative. I don’t eat a lot of the foods that are on the list but I am going to change that.
This was a very informational video. I drink 2% milk…I thought it tasted better than whole milk and was healthier. It shocks me to know it isnt the BEST choice. A few things I did learn were that ginger helps with sweating, and nausea…that could be a good help for an alternative for a stomache ache. I have always used lemon juice for nausea..it seams to detach whatever is causing the nausea from the linning of the stomache..some times resulting in vomiting;but thats always better than a stomache ache!
I usually use lemon for stomache aches. Sprite helps when I feel nauseated or when my stomache starts to hurt. I am Asian and we do use a lot of ginger in the things we cook, you would be amazed at all the things you can cook with ginger. This video was definitely very helpful.
I had no idea about the ginger or lemon juice as home remedies but i will surely take these 2 into account in the future, very informative stuff!
I had heard of ginger for nausea, but not lemon juice, I wonder if it has something to do with acidity/ph…
Honestly, I eat alot ot fast foods because I’m always on the go. I work 2 jobs, one of the two consist of 40 hours in 3 days. The other is only three days 9-5. I don’t like it but I’m strapped for time. Another issue is most healthy foods are expensive for a family of four. I do my best thou. I’m mostly a fruit and vegetable person. I do cook and when I do I try to cook from all the food groups. I’ve gained weight and trying to lose therefore I’m trying to make it a habit to choose the my meals wisely. I’ve started snacking on fruits and vegetables instead of chips and candy bars. I do use olive oil, love yogurt,cranberries, brown rice,broccoli etc.
This video is very helpful in learning to choose foods with the most benefits for me and my family.
these were some helpful videos.
The first video just made me laugh cause i have a 2 month old baby boy and i could just imagine him doing what they were doing.
yes who would have thougt babies on roller skates.
The baby video was too cute. I learned a lot of things I need to change in my diet and a lot of things I do right in it. I will deffinately keep this video in mind when I do my 3 day food record to eat the right things.
Replying to your post a little late, but I hope the videos helped you with your 3 day food tracker……It helped me!
Wow! That first video was SO cute! It defintely gave me a new look at water making you younger
The second video on the other hand was informing because I had no idea that ginger helped with an upset stomach and that broccoli is like a substitute for milk. That is awesome because I believe that I am lactose intolerant and I don’t exactly like soy milk!
The first video was super cute, my son started dancing with the babies!!!!
Water is very important in maintaining your health.
The video list of super foods was very informative. I actually knew most of the info because I made my sons baby food instead of buying it. Its always a great reminder when your schedule gets crazy!!
I like this cute little baby video. With my busy schedule, I rarely drink water. I am either drinking a coke or coffee at work, then when I have night classes I’m drinking my Mt Dew or another 20 oz coke. I definitely am not as energized as those adorable babies, I wish I can be tho. I do play a lot of outdoor volleyballs on the weekends and I absolutely love being outdoors and there’s not a better feeling than going out and doing some major exercise. Water is an important part in our diet, bc it helps clean the waste out of our systems and I have gone on a diet where I only drink water and I lost a good amount of water weight, but it’s how strict I am on what I eat that can make me a healthier person. Now I don’t think I can give up my fast foods, but will try to eat healthier and drink plenty of water.
I agree with the first video in the importance of drinking water. We also make green tea at home to protect us from antioxidants that cause cancer. I also use alot ginger in my cooking.
I thought the first video was cute although i wont really remember it for the water it was advertising i will remember the dancing babies. Now the second video i really enjoyed i got to see what foods i take in daily were on that list and how i should change my diet to help benefit me. Will defiantly remember this video when i do my three day food plan!
never new about the ginger making the body sweat thought that was pretty interesting also never new that white rice was nutritionally empty
Same here, I never would have guessed that a plant could make you sweat. The White vs. Brown rice information was something I would have never guessed either.
I really think the roller-dancing babies were beyond cute but I agree with several other post my concentration was the cuteness not the product. I do like Evian water but think other waters are more affordable and will be as good for my health. However the commercial does make room for good conversation and I do think of the babies as the Evian water roller-babies.
I love the super foods ad I think it was packed with alot of useful info that I was not aware of. I love fruits and vegetables but was very unaware of just how healthy some of those were for you. I am a person that can not function when i’m sick at my stomach so if I get sick again I now know ginger will be my new best friend. I loved the info about brocolli I love it hot or cold and so do my kids. I am happy to know its such a good calcium suppliment.
I thought the baby video was very cute! I agree that mineral water is very good for ones health. I know that not all like to drink water but you should atleast try to drink some on a daily basis.
I hope this website will accept an alternate email address. I don’t know my school one, nor do I know how to obtain it. The first video was unexpected, but funny. As for the superfoods, I love them all except the butternut squash and cranberry juice. I eat most of them regularly. I prefer greek yogurt over regular yogurt. I also eat atleast two serving of fish per week. I love salmon, but throw other fish in the mix for variety such as Mahi Mahi, Tilapia, and Cod. I’m pretty sure the Tilapia and Cod are a little high in cholesteral though. Really enjoyed the video.
I am happy to see that a few of these foods happen to be my favorites! I sometimes go weeks at a time eating well & going to the grocery store, but then I get busy & it’s easy to get caught up in the convienence of fast food! I can tell such a difference in my skin & the way I feel when I’m not eating right! Not to mention how much better fresh food tastes!
I know what you mean; I always swore I would never fall into the premade, frozen dish rut, but now I am so busy all the time that it is hard to cook a good meal…
Since going back to school, trying to keep the house up and the time spent preparing fresh foods have been two of the areas that have suffered . I hope to make a renewed effort to get back to the fresh cooked meals . I too feel better when I eat right and ,yes, it certainly looks and tastes better.
I really enjoyed watching the first video. It was very entertaining and it draws the audience in, however I think I would be hard for people to realize what the video was actually talking about. While watching it I simply forgot that it was advertising Evian water, but overall I liked the video. The second video was very good as well. It is good to know what foods can actually harm you or in other words carry health risks and what food help with certain infections.
The Evian roller babies were hilarious but as with many commercials with a good gimic I lost focus on the product it represented. The super food list was very informative as well as helpful, I had no idea that so many easy ways to eat healthy surrounded me. I will have to keep the ginger secrets in mind too, that seemed very helpful for a number of problems.
The information on ginger is the main thing I took from the video as well! I will be trying that the next cold I get!
Well, Im in trouble…..i dont eat hardly ANY of those foods and…..I cant stand water. I usually eat fast food for lunch, and at home i cook things like Mexican food, pastas, hamburgers, etc. Thats the whole reason I took this class, because I know that i dont eat right, and I need to know how to change things. And this is how it starts..:)
Starting is always the hardest part, once you start making the changes it will get much easier. Good luck!
I dont eat hardly any of those foods either. I read that you cant stand water.. I usually hate to drink plain ol’ water too but it helps me about a lot if i put one of those sugar free crystal light packages in it. yummy!
It’s good to hear that you want to start eating better. This is an encouragement to me.
I guess it really is time to cut out all the fast food i eat! I had no idea that garlic did anything but give you stinky breath.
I love the first video about Evian, it was too cute. I learned alot from watching the super foods video. I knew about alot of those things, because my mom had cancer and when she recovered she started looking for healthier ways to do everything. I heard about the ginger from her but I didn’t know it really helped. I thought it was just a saying or myth people used.
I saw the Evian video on t.v. in California around christmas time and I was so facinated about the babies skating and dancing, I tried to ask my family had they seen it. I couldn’t remember the product they were selling all I coud remember were the babies, I thought that was funny.
I found this very interesting. I can only name about five of those foods that I actually like and eat often. I was not aware how healthy and good for you each of those foods were. I guess I need to change a few of my eating habtits!
This was a good video. It told me a lot of things I didn’t know. I don’t eat very healthy at all but really need to start. This helps give me an idea of things to start eating!
I really thought the Evian water commercial was really cute with the dancing babies. I had seen it before and as cute as it is im not real sure that it makes me think to drink water. Either way I think its a good way to get the message out there that we all need to drink more water. The 2nd video was very interesting I didnt realize the benefits of the ginger and I guess I should give salmon a try. As for many of the other vegetables I already eat them I just didnt realize how healthy they were.
Some of this information was very common to me but there was some very important parts I didn’t know. I knew broccoli was good for you but had no clue about it being a good substatute for milk. I don’t like milk at all so I don’t drink it, I can sure put away some broccoli. I also didn’t realize a regular intake of soy beans can help prevent cancer. Very good video.
I also didnt know that broccoli could be used as a substatue for milk, very helpful information.
The first video was so cute!
The super foods video was very informative. I wasn’t aware that ginger aids circulation by making the body sweat and is helpful when your sick. I’ll definitely remember that the next time I come down with something.
I found this video to very informative on the basic vitamins on each food group. This video shows us that simple foods are all we need to maintain a healthy diet.
I enjoyed the video, my sister has been watching them as well.The super foods video was very informative. I wasn’t aware that ginger aids circulation by making the body sweat and is helpful when your sick. I’ll definitely remember that the next time I come down with something. Because i get sick every month with whatever is going around.
I am a teen and I struggle with trying to keep my skin from breaking out. That second video was really informative and was a good video for what I am going through at this point in my life.
Up until a few years ago you would never catch me drinking water but I drink water like it is coca-cola. I cut out all soft drinks and I can tell a big differnece in the way I feel compared to when I drank cokes all the time. Butternut squash never heard of it but I’m on the hunt for it now, I enjoy squash and have to try some. It looks like yams.
I was sure I posted a comment for this video, but I could not find it. So, here I go again! I love the Evian water babies video. My four-year old thinks it is great too! The list of healthy foods for skin was very good. I only disagree with the 1% milk, as I prefer whole milk. Otherwise, great videos!
I didn’t know that ginger makes you sweat. I’ll have to have my husband watch this video….
I never knew that giner makes you sweat either a lot of good information was in this video
The second video was full of good advice . We eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but don’t use salmon ,especially fresh , at all. Many of the foods that were recommended reminded me of the Mediteranian style diet. So often it seems quicker not to take the time to prepare fresh veg. but it seems that the benifits outway the drawback of time restrictions. I have gotten out of the habit of preparing 2 or 3 meals ahead of time and need to resume that habit.
I really enjoyed the first video! The second video was very informational. I often find myself eating alot of fast food. I was also found the information about eating a lot of soy
Very informative video. My wife is big on trying to get my family to eat healthy and one of the switches she has done is switch to whole grains. I also never thought about eating ginger when I had a cold, but I will try that this winter!
The first video was funny. The second one I know a lot about because I’m a person who likes healthy foods and plus I always listen to my mom when it comes to home remedies.
