Eat Well: Nourish Your Body

Fuel your body with healthy, delicious foods. Aim for:

Five servings of fruits and vegetables daily – think vibrant salads, smoothies, and colorful plates.

Three servings of whole grains – High Fiber Low Glycemic Gluten Free foods like quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, buckwheat, and black beans are fantastic choices.

If you're a meat lover, opt for Proteins like chicken, fish, flank steak or tenderloin, turkey, and pork tenderloin. Buy Pasture Raised as much as you can.

Cut down on salt, sugar, processed foods like cereal, breads, pasta, cakes, candy, fast food, and fried foods. Your body will thank you!

Get Healthy Fats for your brain health, joints, and heart – Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), Coconut Oil, Avocados, Handful of Nuts, Grass Fed Butter, Ghee is a Dairy free option with the milk fats removed.

Exercise: Move and Groove

Get moving! Physical activity isn’t just about looking good – it’s about feeling amazing, too.

• A mix of cardio, weight training, and stretching is ideal.

• Aim for 30 minutes a day, four to five times a week. That could be a brisk walk, a dance class, or a fun workout video.

• Even simple activities like house cleaning or playing with your kids or pets count. Every little bit helps!

Get Enough Sleep: Beauty Rest

Sleep is your secret weapon for health and happiness.

• Develop a calming sleep routine.

• Aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.
