So fresh & so clean Tips for balanced eating

I have discovered that cooking fresh, clean, pescetarian recipes (that’s vegetarian with seafood) not only supports my beliefs, nourishes my body, supports my feel-good brain chemistry, it’s also delightful to the nose, palate, eyes, and most importantly, peace of mind. Simple and basic is a rule of thumb for me & I find options are virtually endless when I focus on making each meal as clean, delicious & nutritionally pact as possible. If this sounds like a lot of work for you, believe me, you are likely expending more time, money, and energy than I am at a compromised nutritional & peace of mind level. I encourage you to give one or two of my recipes or cooking suggestions a try, and decide for yourself. As I lean into it, I quickly find what works along with my preferences and what doesn’t. It’s also one more area I feel more equipped to handle, ultimately building my peace of mind & belief in my self.

As I have maintained my balanced lifestyle, I’ve become a huge believer in the 80-20 principle. If I focused on giving my body the nourishment and exercise it truly deserves 80% of the time, the other 20% doesn’t matter quite as much. I find this is a good balance for myself and I am always striving to keep this in balance. I stay committed to always leaning into the next level. This is the same principle I take into the kitchen. I am always open to learn techniques that best serve my time, energy, and resources. Not knowing everything doesn’t keep me from practicing what I have learned so far…again, always discovering my own truths.  Don’t let not knowing everything keep you from your potential greatness….(Click Here to Read Full Article)

 

Simple tips to change your life & health today

Set a regular bedtime routine. Going to bed & waking up at the same time daily allows your body to find it’s natural rhythm. You will find falling asleep & waking up becomes easier as you follow a routine. Your quality of sleep will increase as well.

Drink a minimum of 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water daily. Proper hydration is essential for proper cellular function. Ingredients added to water have a dehydrating effect on the body even if it’s mostly made of water. Remember to balance non-water beverages with more water to make up for any dehydrating effects the other beverages may cause.

Exercise daily. 30 minutes a day can have a HUGE impact on your overall health. Studies have shown that exercising in 10 minute segments, 3 times throughout the day, has even greater effects then exercising 30 minutes at one time. Every little bit counts, so even 10 minutes a day will prove beneficial.

There are plenty of factors in our environment that we have no control over. Start with little changes in the areas we can control & you will impact your health in so many positive ways!

We have so much control over our health and how we age. It is time to decide for yourself what you want your future to hold. Simple steps, like keeping your body properly hydrated, making time to exercise and ensuring proper nutrition can truly become your fountain of youth.

nourish your body, nourish your life

 

One of the most serving tools I use regularly on my journey is accepting the offering. All of my amazing mentors say the same thing in their own way—I believe them all to be true. What you resist persists, what you embrace transforms. We are the only ones keeping our dreams from coming into our lives. So, I practice accepting offers that I would turn down in the past by default. One of these offers/suggestions was to share my recipes. Being that I don’t view myself to be particularly kitchen savvy, I decided to not automatically dismiss the idea. The more I searched for the perfection in the idea, the more I realized that my perspective on cooking was most likely shared by others, and that at one time I didn’t know what to do. Now I have the opportunity to assist those that are just leaning into embracing their kitchen skills. I’ve decided to own my greatness in the kitchen and bring to you what best tips on what I buy, how I prepare, and what I make for dinner.

I attribute a great portion of my balanced lifestyle to nutritional cleansing. To ensure I am making the best investment of my time, money, and energy, while feeding my body the best nutrition on the planet, I have researched nutritional companies for over five years. I have yet to find a company more authentic, honest, and innovative than Isagenix.  Isagenix is leading the industry as the #1 company in Nutritional Cleansing & Replenishing.
