A tea for heartburn — fennel seeds, cardamom, ginger, tulsi and / or chamomile, rose petals. Herbs and spices being studied for their digestion boosting effects and while we wait for more data, delicious with no downsides #spicemedicine
If adding spices to a meal can lower inflammation, I’m using every excuse to add spices to nearly everything I enjoy. The most obvious place to start? My morning coffee! Cardamom, Ceylon cinnamon, ginger and rose. Delicious and good for me. Boom.
Spices in culinary amounts can curb post meal blood sugar spikes and excess inflammation. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, spice up your health, spice up your life #spicespicebaby #yesplease
If you struggle with building healthy habits, expand your WHY beyond just yourself. Make your WHY for health about being able to show up fully for your loved ones, work you enjoy, and for LIFE! Make your WHY for health about others and watch your motivation soar.
Fasting overnight for 13 hrs was associated with 36% lower breast cancer recurrence. Late night eating raises blood sugar and disrupts circadian rhythms. Yet another reminder that we are one with nature and aligning ourselves with her is a powerful path to better health.
Most of us seek self-improvement from a place of self-judgement and criticism. What if, instead, we sought self-improvement from a place of kindness and love? What if we spoke to ourselves like we would to a a friend? #goals #bekindtoyourself
Learning to be healthier is like learning to play the piano. You won’t be an expert overnight. But like the artist Vincent Van Gogh said “Success is sometimes the outcome of of a whole string of failures.” Fail. Learn. Get back up. YOU are worth it. #health #keeppracticing
People who stick to healthy habits don’t do so because of discipline. Sure discipline might get them going but what keeps them coming back is PLEASURE. They have learned to DERIVE PLEASURE from the habit itself. At which point discipline is no longer needed. #win #healthyhabits
A powerful thought — “A simple rule for life and work: Don’t rush, but don’t wait.
Thoughtful action."

Increased abdominal fat during menopause is associated with elevated CVD risk independent of overall weight gain. So many woman struggle with this — intermittent fasting, resistance training and a whole unrefined food rich diet can help sciencedaily.com/releases/20…
More on the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids
Supplementation with 2 g or more a day of omega-3 high in DHA and EPA increased muscle mass and improved walking speed in the elderly. This was particularly robust after 6 months of treatment (meta-analysis of 15 randomized, placebo-controlled trials).
