Today we remember all of the men who were part of the largest seaborne invasion known in history, the Normandy invasion (D-Day). Thousands of lives were lost in the efforts to liberate the Nazi controlled northwestern Europe. In times like now we need to remember what America stands and fights for. America fought against genocide and fought for equality! During World War II (1939-1945), the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, resulted in the Allie...d liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and required extensive planning. Prior to D-Day, the Allies conducted a large-scale deception campaign designed to mislead the Germans about the intended invasion target. The Normandy invasion began to turn the tide against the Nazis. By late August 1944, all of northern France had been liberated, and by the following spring, on May 8, 1945, the Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany; the Allies had defeated the Germans. The Normandy landings have been called the beginning of the end of war in Europe. #america #dday #ww2 #freedom #equality #american #normandy #omahabeach #utahbeach #junobeach #goldbeach #swordbeach See more

For example, why are certain products calorie-free? What chemicals do they contain to give you the flavor you want without the calories? A simple rule of thumb, try to eat products that you KNOW all the ingredients or you can pronounce all of the ingredients on the food label. If you can’t pronounce it or don’t know what it is, do some research so you know what you’re putting into your body! The absolute way of knowing what you’re putting into your body? The @crossfit nutri...tion prescription: "Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Repost from @optimizemenutrition These long lists of "ingredient-free" marketing make me chuckle. We have an association with the lack of something to equate with health. Fat-free, zero/low-carb, and now all the specific ingredients (no grains, no dairy, no soy, etc). How about you tell me what's actually in it? How about you tell me why this "healthy" muffin has about the same amount of calories as a candy bar? Where are all those calories coming from? Since we need to get the right amount of calories, macronutrients, and micronutrients, we need to think about what it is we are EATING. Not what is missing. Our food labeling needs a major overhaul to have any utility. Note: To be clear, accurate and "ingredient-free" labeling is necessary for those with TRUE allergies (IgE mediated response). That is not the focus of this post. #nutrition #marketing #labeling #caloricdensiity #quantitymatters #qualitymatters #caloriesmatters #nutrientdensity #micronutrients #micronutrients #crossfit #crossfitfromhome See more
