The following is a collection of helpful tips and FREE resources...

“Common sense” tips for a healthier lifestyle

 
  • Planet Earth from which we ALL come from is green and blue - let’s take the hint to eat plants and drink water

  • Try to stick to foods that are readily recognizable - more whole FOODS and less highly processed PRODUCTS

  • Add more activity to your daily life i.e. stairs over elevators, morning/evening stretching…whether a penny or a million dollars it all adds up

  • Remember to BREATHE!! Slow, deliberate breaths in and out of the nose will improve every aspect of health

  • SLEEP!! Like breathing, it is 100% necessary and establishing a consistent sleep schedule will enhance your overall quality of life

  • Think about portion control and eat until you’re satiated not stuffed…think about a garbage bag you want to tie it off before it gets too full

  • Listen to your body and be KIND to yourself
