Today’s Healthy Dose – Sit Up Straight
Did I just catch you slouching in your chair? How many times do I have to send this post? 😉
Today’s Healthy Dose – You Can
Whatever it is, know that you can.
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 – 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 – Not Another Salad
Don’t just make a salad, create a symphony of flavors you love. Experiment with tasty greens, add some fruit, sprinkle on chopped nuts, scoop in some avocado, don’t forget the veggies, add some seasonings, crumble in some aged cheese, some natural bacon or some wild caught tuna, then take it up a notch with a fantastic dressing. Toss together the things that tantalize your tastebuds and the health will follow…
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!
