Living Wellness made quick & easy:
Healthy Living means recognizing, listening to and honoring the needs of your body, mind & soul. Simply stated doing more of what is good for you and less of what is not. For many of us time is limited and doing more of what is good seems to become harder and harder to do. Not to worry, our Quick Picks are here to support you along your journey into a healthier you.
- Find time to move your body. The benefits of exercise are cumulative so a little here and there adds up. Did you know that when you are at rest you only burn 1 calorie a minute. When you walk you burn 3-4 calories per minute and when you walk the stairs, you burn 10 calories per minute. Now there is the motivation to take the stairs instead of the elevator!
- Get the whole family involved with planning meals. Give them the mission of picking foods with lots of color. Each meal should have a minimum of 4 colors. Build great healthy habits for you and your family by getting creative and making healthy eating fun.
- Stress is a choice. The next time you are feeling overwhelmed… STOP, BREATHE and ask yourself how do you want to be different? How would you rather be feeling? Remember you always have a choice in how you will respond. Set your intention to handle all situations with clarity, calm and ease vs. reacting in stress and frustration that will ultimately take more of a toll on you and your health than anyone or anything else.
