Your hormones - the body’s chemical messengers - are responsible for every small aspect of your physical, mental and emotional health, and you need them in very specific amounts for your body to function efficiently.
Eating nutritious foods, exercising daily, and engaging in an otherwise healthy lifestyle can go a long way toward supporting and improving your hormonal health.
I want to permit you to approach the holidays without that "all-or-nothing" mindset I often see during the holiday season. It seems to either fall under "I'll wait until January to get things under wraps -- so I'll throw all caution to the wind for now!" or an alternative strict, stern approach where you feel restricted and unable to enjoy what you want to enjoy during the holiday season.
Even if you love the holiday season and look forward to it every year, I think we can both agree that added stress is a part of the package. Perhaps the pressure is travel-related, relative-related, schedule-related, or something else among a long list of common factors.
I love turning to my essential oils at times of stress. Whatever it is that is stressing you out, essential oils could be the answer to helping you handle the holiday stress this year and beyond.
Holiday meals are something we all look forward to and enjoy. The company, the savory, seasonal foods, the atmosphere -- it's all a part of the equation.
Not sure what you're going to serve for the holidays this year? Do you need some inspiration?
I've got just the ideas for you. Most of all, these ideas can help you add more superfoods and hidden veggies into your holiday meals to keep you on the healthy track.
