Wellness Tips

Healthy Eating

• Eat lots of good food
• Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are excellent for you. The more you eat, the better you will be. Also, opt for organic and non-GMO whenever possible.
• Limit the not so good food
• Have meat, dairy, sweets, and processed grains sparingly. While they can be enjoyed in moderation, they will make you unhealthy if overindulged.

Healthy Nutrition

• Know what your body needs and check your diet if you are feeling bad.
• Research credible medical resources to know what you need / how much for yourself. Many health problems can be traced to not getting certain foods / nutrients.
• Avoid drugs, alcohol, and smoking
• What some may consider popular will just age you in the long run.

Healthy Moving

• Do not sit all day
• Too much sitting is not good for the body. Get up and stretch, move around, and walk.
• Make exercise fun
• Join a sport club, ride a longboard, take a hike, fly a kite, etc. Exercise should be fun, not a chore.

Healthy Sleep

• Get your beauty rest
• Aim for 9 hours of sleep. Keep a bedtime routine and enjoy your rest.
• Avoid caffeine
• If your body is telling you to rest, listen. Too much reliance on caffeine leads to masking tiredness, which often leads to under-eye bags and wrinkles.

Healthy Beauty

• Pay attention to labels and beware of false claims
• This goes for food and beauty products. Stay as natural as possible and avoid harsh chemicals that can steal your beauty over time. Be patient with natural remedies.
• Protect your skin
• Moisturize day and night. In the summer, wear sunscreen. Also cover yourself to avoid sun exposure (i.e.- hats, visors, etc). If burned, use aloe or apple cider vinegar.

Healthy Knowledge

• Stay current on health and wellness
• Read scientific articles on health. Blogs or websites may not be accurate.
• Take note of how your body changes
• Record your biological patterns, foods that upset you, products that work for you, etc. As time goes on, it helps to keep a log of patterns for what works and doesn’t work.
