AUTHORS NOTES
Eat Clean: Eliminating processed food and sugar is a great way to start on your Road to Wellness . Processed foods contain chemicals that our body cant process, which lead to chronic disease. Sugar also plays a big part in chronic disease, especially diabetes and obesity. Replacing processed sugar with sweet fruits and vegetables will set you up for Success! Drink plenty of water! Water helps your body detox and stabilize your metabolism. Incorporate whole foods in their most raw state gives your body the enzymes, vitamins, and minerals it needs to thrive.
Eating Organic: There is much debate over whether or not organic foods are actually better for us. There are studies that have shown that organic foods have more nutrients, and some that say they are not much different. The fact remains that non-organic foods are loaded with pesticides, food additives, and may contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms). Also, there are huge environmental issues caused by conventionally grown crops. Know what youre buying when going to the market, Look for the PLU codes on fresh fruits and vegetables. A four digit code starting with 3 or 4 is conventionally grown, A five digit code starting with 9 is organic, and a five digit code starting with 8 is a genetically modified crop.
Keep A Journal: Keeping a journal is a great way to stay on track. Writing down what you eat, your exercise, and how you feel each day gives you a picture of how you are progressing along your journey. Your health is based on your own bio-individuality, so keeping a journal allows you to see whats working and what isnt.
Get Up & Get Moving: Exercise plays a huge role in your health. There are many benefits to exercise, including stress reduction, detoxing, weight loss and much, much more. Find some things you Enjoy, and do it each day. Go for a walk, bicycle, hike, swim, home stretches or yoga. Dedicate at least 20-30 minutes a day to Get Up & Get Moving to feel amazing!
Weight Loss Quick Tips: Drink plenty of water! Listen to your hunger cues; it just might be dehydration which can mimic the feeling of hunger and slow down your metabolism. Lemon water in the morning helps with weight loss, proper digestion, and cleanse your taste buds. Eat good carbs! Remove refined carbs, which can spike your blood sugar, then leave you feeling sluggish; for example, white flour, pasta and pretzels. Replace refined carbs with complex carbs, like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, which are high in fiber, metabolize slower to stabilize blood sugar & regulate a steady flow of energy. Eat healthy fats! Not all fats are created equal. Processed hydrogenated trans fats compromise immune function, liver, and your brain. In fact, your body needs fats for energy, cell growth, vitamin absorption, and other functions. Incorporating healthy fats play a vital role in brain function, steady metabolism, and nourish hair, skin and nails. Healthy fats include organic grass fed butter, olive oil, some fish, avocados, nuts and seeds. Exercise your body, mind, and get plenty of sleep.
