Today’s Healthy Dose – You’re Lucky Day!
It’s Friday the 13th! All of today’s unclaimed good fortune is out there for the taking. Go grab some!!
Today’s Healthy Dose – Breathe
Start your week with calm. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in, let it out, take one more in, slowly let it out, then open your eyes and meet your week head on. 🙂
Today’s Healthy Dose – Sleep
It may seem underrated, but letting your cells “reset” during a 7 – 8 hour sleep period is critical to energy levels, mental function, resistance to disease, and overall good health. So don’t skimp on the Z’s.
Today’s Healthy Dose – Pledge to Unhurry
Hurrying causes stress. Stress causes excess Cortisol. Excess Cortisol derails healing, impairs digestion, slows metabolism, reduces healthy mental function, and weakens your immune system. Just think what good a little slowing down could do.
Today’s Healthy Dose – Sure, You Could Get a Flu Shot…
…to guard against the 4 strains of flu targeted this year. Or you could boost your immune system against all illness, for good with real foods (organic/unprocessed) and regular exercise. And when your body fights off illness on it’s own, your immune system gets even stronger. It’s like a health hat trick! Goooooooal…..
Today’s Healthy Dose – Vitamin D
It’s the new oat bran! Â But did you know there are two types of Vitamin D in pill form? D3 works okay, D2 not so much. Both need LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) to taxi them through your bloodstream, and taking too much can cause issues.
Here’s an idea. Get the ideal forms of vitamin D in the ideal amounts. Ditch the sun screen and take a twenty minute walk, or putter in the garden, or just be still, close your eyes, and soak up some rays. Every cell in your body will thank you.
Today’s Healthy Dose – A Great Role Model
My mother, now officially in her 70’s, after raising two children and a husband, caring for an assortment of pets, volunteering in her community, beating cancer, and giving an endless amount of support to friends, family, and those in need (both human and not), is the most compassionate and caring woman I know. She also walks, does tai chi, plays bocci ball, reads food labels and can out-shop me on any given day.
People often ask where I get my inspiration….
I love you Mom. Happy Birthday!!
