Holiday Cheer

24 Dec

This year I decided to try something unusual… Instead of sending out a funky Christmas card, I put together a video greeting to share with the world.

In this video I hope to merge the two things I am passionate about health and comedy. I hope you like it! Happy Holidays!

How to Choose Greens for a Green Smoothie

How to Choose Greens for a Green Smoothie

No matter how healthy they are, all greens contain some type of alkaloid(s). When ingested in small to moderate amounts, these so called “toxic compounds” actually benefit our bodies by killing cancer cells and boosting our immune system. However, if eaten in large amounts, these alkaloids may trigger mild, but unpleasant symptoms such as, stomachache, indigestion , gas, etc.

Plainly put, we were not meant to eat the same food day after day, everyday! To avoid any unpleasantries, simply rotate (change) the greens that you put into your smoothie! This can be done daily, weekly, or even monthly as long as you don’t go for months making the same exact smoothie. (more…)

Green Smoothie For Pets

Do you think that humans are the only living organisms that want to be healthy and pain free? Think again!

I believe that our pets enjoy living long, healthful lives no less than we do! The type of foods you choose to feed your furry companions can have a huge effect on state of being and well as their life span. Conventional pet food is loaded with tons of animal byproducts, dyes, preservatives, pesticides, and who knows what else. Thus for a health, happy pet, it is imperative to feed them as close to their natural diet as possible, which might I add, include little to no cooked food! (more…)

About Me

About Me

My name is Sergei Boutenko. When I was only nine years old I was diagnosed with diabetes. My family doctor told my parents I had to go on insulin immediately. My mother (Victoria) opted to search for an alternative to synthetic insulin and accidentally stumbled onto the raw food diet.

I started eating a raw food diet and almost instantly felt relief from my diabetic symptoms. This inspired me to go forth with eating organic living foods until long after I was given a clean bill of health by numerous doctors. For the last 16 years I have been living completely free from diabetes!

Seeing first-hand what an important role food had on my health and well being inspired me to write several books and share my experience. My latest book “Fresh” (North Atlantic Books) is one of my top accomplishments.

In 2005, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Southern Oregon University in Communication. I was inspired to connect with as many people as I could which lead me to the study of film production. I currently work as a videographer filming anything I find inspiring. I would say that in this sector, short comedies are my favorite to produce.

In my spare time I live an extremely active lifestyle and love to engage in more sports than I can list! Some of my favorites include: hiking, biking, snowboarding, running, and dancing. I also travel around the globe teaching people how to be healthy and have more fun by incorporating green leafy vegetables and wild edibles into their diet.
