🎆🌽 7 tips for Post-Fourth of July Reset 🍉

After an amazing celebration of Independence Day, it's time to refocus on our nutrition and get back on track! 🎉🌱

Here are some tips to help you reset and nourish your body after enjoying those delicious holiday treats:

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Start by hydrating your body with plenty of water. Proper hydration supports digestion, helps flush out toxins, and replenishes your system. Aim to drink enough water throughout the day to keep yourself refreshed and revitalized.

Fill Up on Fresh Fruits and Veggies

Load up your plate with an abundance of colorful fruits and vegetables. These nutrient-rich powerhouses will provide you with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, while keeping your meals light and refreshing.

Prioritize Lean Proteins

Incorporate lean proteins like grilled chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes into your meals. Protein is essential for muscle repair and satiety, helping you feel satisfied and preventing overeating.

Embrace Whole Grains

Opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, or whole wheat bread instead of refined carbohydrates. Whole grains are packed with fiber, providing sustained energy and promoting better digestion.

Mindful Portion Control

Pay attention to portion sizes and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Enjoy your meals slowly, savoring each bite, and stop eating when you feel comfortably satisfied.

Plan and Prep

Set yourself up for success by planning and prepping your meals ahead of time. Having nutritious options readily available makes it easier to make healthy choices and avoids relying on unhealthy convenience foods.

Get Moving

Engage in physical activity that you enjoy, whether it's a brisk walk, a workout session, or a dance class. Exercise boosts your metabolism, improves mood, and helps you feel energized.

Remember, it's all about balance and consistency. Don't be too hard on yourself for indulging during the festivities. By adopting these healthy habits, you'll get back on track and continue your journey towards optimal health.

For a nutritional reset any time of year, try a 3-day reset or a 21-day reset, guaranteed to nourish your body for optimal function.

Cheers to a refreshing post-Fourth of July reset! Let's nourish our bodies, embrace wellness, and keep striving for our health goals. 💪🥗🌟

How A Colon Detox Can Improve Your Colon Health

A healthy colon is a vital part of a healthy body.  The colon, along with the small and large intestines, are a major area where the nutrients in food are absorbed.  If the colon is not clean, it cannot fulfill this important task.  Not only that, but the impacted fecal material also builds up in the colon and intestines releases toxins into the bloodstream.  You are in effect getting toxins instead of nutrients - not a very good trade.

Symptoms that a colon detoxification might be in order include tiredness, PMS, headaches, and of course, constipation.  There are a variety of ways colon cleansing can be done, including colonic irrigation, enemas, dietary fiber, and laxative herbs.  These methods can help, but each has negative points.

Another natural option for colon health is to use an oxygen-based colon cleanser.  This method uses magnesium oxide that has been treated with oxygen and ozone.  This substance will react with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach to release oxygen.  The oxygen gets into the bloodstream to nourish all parts of the body, but it does more than that.  It also nourishes the favorable bacteria that live in the digestive tract.

Unfavorable bacteria in the digestive tract will cause you to you vomit, give you diarrhea, and cramps.  Favorable bacteria compete with the unfavorable ones for living space.  An oxygen-based colon detox will encourage those good microbes, for better all-around health.  So how exactly does it work?

An oxygen-based colon health product creates a chemical reaction that releases oxygen and melts the impacted material in the intestines and colon into gas and liquid.  It will make you need to stay close to a bathroom for a day or so while you eliminate the material from your colon, but you will feel much better afterwards.

Look for an oxygen-based colon detox product that is available in a capsule form.  Make sure it does not include ascorbic acid among the ingredients because ascorbic acid is an antioxidant.  An antioxidant will undo the good that could be done by the oxygen.  A good ingredient to look for, however, is GE-132.  This is the germanium-132, which is good for the health of the immune system.  It also facilitates and adds oxygen.  It is considered to be a nutrient that is helpful for many ailments.

Cleansing the colon can help with weight loss.  Many people who have eaten an average diet for years have accumulated ten to twenty pounds of impacted fecal matter in their colons.  An oxygen-based colon cleanse will help the body eliminate this material, resulting in a quick loss to jump start your weight loss plan.  Follow up the cleanse with reasonable portions of healthy natural food.  You should have enough energy after the cleanse to start an exercise program, too.

You can also try a dietary cleanse that allows you to eat, clean meals over 3 days.  I highly recommend this approach because this allows you to get the nutrients you need from food while using supplementation and supports the development of healthy eating habits. You can reap the benefits of a cleanse AND develop healthier habits and have "gentler" experience while gaining insight on how not to get the point which caused the discomfort in the first place.

We all struggle with something

For many of us, gaining back full range of motion and strength after a health scare (stroke, multiple sclerosis or other illness that compromises mobility) is a goal that requires daily movement and practice. You can’t give in to despair. You can’t give up on yourself. You have to give yourself some grace when you have a bad day. You must remain relentless in your quest to be whole.

I do this through functional movement and retraining my brain to move in the way that most people take for granted. Like walking, talking, running, getting down to the floor from a standing position and getting up from the floor.

A huge part of my training is flexibility training. A muscle that is flexible has more capacity to become stronger and move as it was designed to move. I have found a program that I have done before and will be starting again and I am excited to see how far I’ve come since doing my first round.

I’m getting stronger every day so I know I will do well this time around🤩

Recovery comes in many forms. We all struggle with something. The goal should always be to give your best every day you are blessed to wake up❣️ Through prayer and supplication I found the courage to embark on this journey. May whatever you struggle with today not overwhelm you. Make it your runway for you to take off towards your new beginning🤗

Would you like to get started on a new program to strengthen not just your body but also your mind too? Check out some options here.

Resolve to Start Now

By now, another new year’s resolution to be healthy once and for all is all but forgotten and you have already given up. You’re thinking you’ve tried everything to be healthy and finally get to your goal weight and nothing is working. Why not just drink on the weekends, eat what’s not so great for me and enjoy life, right? But you are miserable and deep in your gut, you know there has got to be a better way. No matter what you are thinking about your progress so far, I'm here to tell you, it is not too late. Resolve to start now, TODAY, and learn how to do it different this time!

I have learned over the last several years that lack of peer support and the right tools are the missing links to why people don't succeed in leading a healthy lifestyle. The truth is, no one can do it alone. When I started my journey, I was 50 lbs overweight, aging and dealing with all of the issues associated with all of that. I needed help. So, I joined a group of people who were working out with me, supported me and held me accountable to my goals. It wasn’t easy but in a little over a year, I lost 35lbs, had more energy and felt better than I had in years. It was the soul of the accountability group that helped me achieve my health and wellness goals and now I want to pay it forward by helping you do the same.

Why spend $100s of dollars on personal trainers, nutritionists and gym memberships you don’t use? Do something that is more fun, gets results, you can do in the privacy of your own home (or take it with you) and WORKS!
