A Case for regular physical activity

by

Earlier this month I posted about healthy eating as part of NNM®

I would like to make the case now for regular physical activity. Regular exercise benefits us by:

  1. Improving mood
  2. Promoting better sleep
  3. Boosting energy levels
  4. Combating or self-management of health conditions
  5. Strengthening your muscles and bones
  6. Enhancing brain health and memory
  7. Being a social activity
  8. Getting us out into nature
  9. Reducing pain
  10. Supporting weight loss/maintenance

Overall, exercise or physical activity are great ways to feel better, boost your health and have fun. For most healthy adults, the Department of Health and Human Services recommends: [Read more…]

Holiday Joy: Healthy Eating

by

As I was reviewing my holiday checklist today, I started planning my holiday menus and meals for the next several weeks as part of my holiday plan. And I thought that I would share some healthy holiday eating tips with you.

I know that the holidays seem like a permission slip to overindulge with food and drink. It is hard to turn down treats that may only be prepared once a year or as part of a family tradition. You can enjoy holiday foods and drink by, again, planning and employing some of these tips:

• Eat mindfully.
• Practice portion control.
• Keep hydrated.
• Don’t skip any meals.
• Eat only when hungry and stop when 80% full.
• Plan menus and prepare food ahead.
• Have a plan for food consumption prior to attending a party.

By using these tips, you will be able to eat, drink and be merry this holiday.

As a registered dietitian I celebrate National Nutrition Month® each year. I believe nutrition is important and transformative. That is why I chose my profession and that is why as a life coach I chose to address body clutter.

So, during this month, think about one thing you can do to transform your body, physical activity, eating or belief about food and health and then set a goal to do so.
