Be Healthy 2022

A huge aspect of living a healthier life is learning HOW!! Here are some Wellness Wednesday tips!!

Did you know?

Most of the pain we feel in our body is the result of inflammation, the body’s natural response to protect itself from harm (injury, bacteria, toxins, high fat & highly processed foods). Chronic inflammation is at the root of many diseases including Alzheimer’s, asthma, allergies, cardiovascular disease, Crohn’s disease and colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, type 2 diabetes, psoriasis and obesity.

Some causes of inflammation are:
➡️ chronic stress
➡️ eating inflammatory foods
➡️ autoimmune diseases
➡️ oxidative stress (damage to cells)

Some sources of inflammation are:
🛑 refined sugar
🛑 processed foods
🛑 highly refined oils + trans fats
🛑 dairy
🛑 alcohol
🛑 smoking
🛑 cured meats

Foods that reduce inflammation are:
✅ fruits + vegetables (eat the rainbow)
✅ omegas + fatty fish like salmon
✅ nuts + grains (especially almonds + walnuts)
✅ healthy fats like avocados
✅ dry beans
✅ turmeric, ginger, cinnamon

If you want to reduce inflammation & the pain you feel in your body, here are some things you can do:
👊🏻 Eat more whole foods + up your plant intake
👊🏻 Move more + try to break a sweat most days
👊🏻 Drink more water (half your weight in ounces)
👊🏻 Sleep 7-8 hours a night
👊🏻 Reduce stress + find ways to manage it
👊🏻 Plug into a community that supports healthy lifestyle habits + education

Our body is a machine. Fuel it well for optimal performance. And remember, we truly are what we eat. Be intentional each day to choose foods that improve health + reduce inflammation to feel better in our body and experience less pain. Here’s to a healthy, happy 2022 ❤️

During the holiday season, we all get super busy. There are so many fun events, responsibilities, parties, decorating + celebrating that we forget to stop, rest, listen to our bodies, and focus on deep breathing + mindfulness. It brings peace + relaxation!! I LOVE this time of year but I have to be very intentional about including in self-care each day. It could be a nice walk, reading, a bath, netflix-ing, painting, writing. Whatever brings you J O Y 🎁🎄
