One of the most common questions I get is about snacking. How can I quit snacking, or how can I find healthy snacks. One of my biggest tips is to make them at home. That way you know exactly what’s inside. Plus, it’s less expensive than store bought, and you can tweak the ingredients to your taste!
This Energizing Power Ball recipe is a great way to fuel your body pre-workout or to give you a mid afternoon energy boost.
Mindfulness is all about training yourself to pay attention in a special way to things happening around you.
It is about learning to focus on the present moment, letting the past be, and trying not to think about what may be coming up in the future.
So much time is spent thinking about things that happened in the past, and worrying about what might happen in the future, that we forget the present moment is all we really have.
Mindfulness is a way of helping us to experience life as is happens. Mindfulness does not happen automatically. It is an ongoing training process of developing new thought patterns, but the benefits to your mental and physical health will be worth it.
Bloating is so annoying, and if you are like me, you get really frustrated trying to figure out what is causing it.
With so many contradictory claims when it comes to eating healthy, it can be hard to know what to eat and what to avoid. This confusion leads so many to throw their hands up altogether and feel those feelings of "why even try?!"
Even foods that are said to be healthy can still cause you discomfort, which is partly why it can be so frustrating. Bloating is our bodies attempt to let us know it disagrees with something we gave it and can be a big clue to the types of foods you should cut down on or avoid.
I have compiled a list for you of some foods to be aware of, but make sure to read to the end as I have a gift that my clients use to pin point what exactly is going on and causing their bloating.
