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 – Legs Out
Just like the arms….from a sitting position, lift those feet and hold ’em. Engage that core, tighten those thighs,squeeze those buns, Â holding…still holding….and more holding…..just 30 more seconds. Okay, your done! Â (Although it couldn’t hurt to do it again)
Today’s Healthy Dose – Arms Out
Sit up straight and hold your arms out in front of you. Hold. Hold. Hold. Keep holding. No, not yet, keep holding. And still holding. Just another 30 seconds. Whew…. Your done!

It’s that time again. If you have time to read this message, you have time to stand up and give me 20 more wall push ups. Ready, set, go! Â (Yes, now) Â (No, not later, now) (Enough with the excuses, do it now!)
Today’s Healthy Dose – Radish Addict
A year ago I would have labeled myself as your average vegetable eater–mostly at dinner with the occasional salad for lunch. Then I set a goal to include veggies on my plate at every meal. Now, if we’re out of organic radishes for me to slice, salt and crunch on over breakfast, I actually feel cheated.
So…inquiring minds want to know… could radish addition actually be a thing? And what veggie that you love could you add to your breakfast tomorrow?
Today’s Healthy Dose – 5 Minutes
That’s all it takes to stretch a little, breathe a little, walk a little, or exert your muscles a little. Do that a few times today. I promise you’ll be glad you did.
Today’s Healthy Dose – Please Stand Up
Even if is’t only for a second, just standing up then sitting down 20 – 30 times a day improves your posture, strengthens your core, keeps your joints mobile, and enhances your mood. Who’d a thought?
