March 8th marks the date to celebrate women. International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
I needed to do some digging to see what information I could share with you and I thought these three questions were a good start to help you learn more. You can find more information if you visit www.internationalwomensday.com Read More→
There are many great ways to improve our heart health and here are the seven that top the list. If you have questions and need more help you can reach out to your family doctor or a registered dietician.
Exercising can be as simple as walking, no money is needed for this one. Heart-healthy foods are things like fish, legumes, healthy grains (oats, bran), eggs, nuts, lean meats, fruits, and vegetables. If you are having trouble quitting smoking, I would suggest finding a centre that can specifically help you with your journey to quit. Good dark chocolate the very dark kind with no added junk has high antioxidant levels. Listen to your body, eat small meals regularly and don’t overeat. Stress, find ways you can manage it and prevent it. If you want tips on how to manage, I suggest exercise, listening to music, going out in nature, praying, meditating, and or doing yoga. If you want to prevent it, find the triggers. For example, maybe you don’t like rushing in the morning before school and work, I suggest having everything ready the night before. If you see a busy week ahead you can do meal planning and prep as much ahead on the weekend to lessen the load.

As women, I believe we sometimes forget some important things that we need to do regularly. I know for many when you become a mother you put your needs to the side and forget about them. I feel that we need to take care of ourselves first so that we can take care of others. If you are finding it hard to take time for your health, wellness, and fitness goals. Here are a few tips that I suggest, work out in the morning, it feels so good to have it done. I personally do not like night workouts as I am done for the day. I feel like I have given most of the energy I have and the last thing I want to do is do a workout. Make sure you begin with breakfast, do not skip this meal. Drink lots of water, and ensure you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep.
Regular appointments, if you have good benefits or can put aside money for a massage, I really recommend this service. Massage relieves tension and stress and it is a good option for self-care. Yearly check-ups include your doctor, eye, and dentist (about two to three), and as you get older don’t forget mammograms and paps are every three years.
Other great tips to improve your health and wellness are to make sure you schedule time for yourself each day if you can. I like to read while my daughter has quiet time. On weekends my husband and I discuss what we both need as well as what we need to do together and as a family. This way we are ensuring we have met everyone’s needs as best as possible.
