About the blenderized diet

The Blenzerized Diet Promotes:

• Cost effectiveness

• Better results

• Efficient nutrient utilization

Lesley Diane Marino has a background in Massage Therapy, Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Before Nina’s birth Lesley owned and operated a Health Care Center which included Chiropractic Care.

Once Nina arrived circumstances for the Marino family changed, with the support of Nina’s father, Lesley devoted her time to Nina’s care becoming a self taught advocate for Nina and other children with chronic health issues.

As a loving mother and an advocate for utilizing natural resources Lesley focused on the nutrients provided by Mother Nature as opposed to processed foods. Lesley's extensive knowledge and background in natural medicine aided her in the quest for Nina’s healthily nutritional intake, thus Lesley unknowingly created the concept of The Blenderized Diet, to help her daughter achieve a well balanced diet.

At 15 months Nina began her nutritional intake via The Blenderized Diet it is the belief of many that this effort is a key to Nina’s success of living a healthy happy lifestyle. Lesley’s work in this area has been commended by various physicians, nutritional therapists and other professionals nationwide.

So What is This About?

When starting a family member on a blenderized diet it is recommended to start out slowly when initially starting The Blenderized Diet, jarred baby food or baby cereal can be included in the mixture.  Various bases can also be utilized such as adding formulas, juices, or other liquid products to a benderized diet.

After getting accustomed to The Blenderized Diet you may want to become a little more adventurous by adding fresh, frozen, canned fruits or vegetables.  Some clients have even tried adding cooked meats to their Blenderized Diet mixtures. 

As you become more experienced you might consider discontinuing the use of any formulas, or processed foods, switching solely to water or juices as the base.
All of these are suggestions
