Listening To The Body

This week has been busy busy busy. I'm sure everyone has had those days where your body us SCREAMING for a break! Lately I've been experiencing that very thing more and more as I recuperate from am old accident. What's so interesting is that when we stop and listen to the body at the time it speaks to us, we need not take tons of time to rest or respond. Here's an example... Today I became jittery and rather than push through and feel worse later, I took a 15 minute extreme relaxation nap. Sort of like a cat nap. The result...I felt much better. So the next time your body asks for something... be kind and enjoy the rewards.


Here's a pic of my sons cat WeeZee! He loves to sleep in my suitcase. Isn't he a little love bug?

Foods For Your Healthy Heart!


We all know that there are foods that make us sick.  But what isn't always obvious is that there are foods that can heal us and make us happy and vibrant!  Heart health is one of the most important factors in preventing heart disease and maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. 

By making a few simple changes you can keep you heart healthy.  First, be sure to make good food choices.  Choose foods such as fruits and veggies that cover the full spectrum of the rainbow.  Be sure to include beans and legumes and eat fats that are unsaturated. 

Avoiding or minimizing a sedentary lifestyle is also an important key in staying heart healthy.  What does this mean?  Exercise at least three times per week for 20 minutes and you can keep your heart healthy.  If that's too much to start, then start out with one day at 10 minutes per session and work up to three times per week. You will find that the benefits of this simple yet uplifting experience will help you to have more energy and keep your hearr  healthy. 

And since we are experiencing beautiful weather, be sure to take a walk in the part or on the waterfront!  It will make your exercise routine almost effortless!

Enjoy!
