Today’s Healthy Dose – Stretch
Stand up, slowly raise straight arms out and over your head, clasp your hands together, now look up and press your palms to the sky. Breathe and Stretchhhhhh. Now slowly lower your arms wide.
This one’s even better when you do it outside!
Today’s Healthy Dose – Stress
Stress = Increased levels of Cortisol
High Cortisol = Deteriorating muscle and bone, slowed healing, abnormal cell regeneration, weight gain, hormone disruption, digestive impairment, and decreased mental function.
Good chocolate, deep breathing, a spa day, a great read, walking, a glass of wine, a night out, tending the garden = better health!
Today’s Healthy Dose – 20 Percent
That’s the amount of antibiotics produced in the U.S. that are given to humans. The other 80 percent is fed daily to the meat we eat, simply to speed up the fattening process. It’s like a huge, super-virus welcome mat!
When you’re looking at meat labels, opt for hormone and antibiotic free.

Today’s Heathy Dose – Make Flossing Your Friend
Turns out gums are a two way street. Unhealthy gums can be an indication of other health issues, and bacteria build up in the gums can cause other health issues. Either way, it can’t hurt to make better friends with the minty string.
Did you floss today? It’s not too late!
Today’s Healthy Dose – What Is It Really?
Is it really about how you look? (The little devil on your shoulder) Or is maximizing your nutrition and your movement more about how you feel? (The little angel on your shoulder)
I vote for listening to the little angel 🙂
Today’s Healthy Dose – An Apple A Day
Overlooking the fact that as of late most conventionally grown apples are mushy (due to freezing during transport), apples are the most popular fruit in the U.S. as well as the most heavily sprayed. The average apple contains residue from 47 different pesticides including:
- 6 Known Carcinogens
- 16 Hormone Disruptors
- 5 Neurotoxins
- 6 Developmental or Reproductive Toxins
- 11 Honeybee Toxins
Yum.
