Top 10 Things We Love About Our Grandparents

After all, grandparents are always happy to see them, they bake their favorite treats, play their favorite games, and read their most beloved books (over and over again) with a smile, and, to top it off, they give the best hugs.

How to Make Gratitude a Daily Part of Life

Have you heard the famous Brene Brown quote: “I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness--it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude”? Of course, there’s a laundry list of reasons this quote is so famous, but one of my personal takeaways is to find happiness, you must first practice gratitude.  Let’s allow that to truly sink in for a moment because that’s a big ship.

Feed Your Brain

We often get caught up solely in the physical rewards of diet. Maybe, we decide to eat more veggies and cut out bread in order to shed some pounds. Or, on the other hand, we eat more protein so we can gain muscle. Regardless of the reason, most of us think about food and how it affects us physically. How often do we think about how diet affects the brain? Food not only fuels the energy of our brain, but it can also promote mental health.

The Dos and Don'ts for a Good Night’s Sleep

Transitioning from summer fun to school schedules and new bedtime routines can be a tough and demanding task. Wasn’t it just yesterday that you were enjoying those relaxing summer days?

Yoga Poses for Joint Health

Practicing yoga has kept yogis strong and limber for thousands of years. But, why? How can simple movements be so effective for the body? Well, yoga does these amazing things: it not only supports flexibility, but also strength. So, as you’re stretching, you’re also supporting. For those with certain joint concerns, this can be a blessing! When practicing yoga, the body goes through its entire range of motion, which allows movement to joints that may normally not be used. Because yoga doesn’t neglect joints, it can provide full body support.

Best Foods to Boost Collagen

Unfortunately, we can’t wash away our aging worries with a couple drinks from the Fountain of Youth. But we can increase our consumption of collagen, and that’s a pretty good start.
Collagen is a structural protein that is naturally occurring in our bodies. However, as we age and our bodies change, we start to produce less of this wonderful protein. And, why is this protein so great?  Well, for starters, it helps support cartilage, bone and joint health.* But, wait...there’s more! It also ensures the health and vitality of skin, hair and nails.* Like we said, it’s not the Fountain of Youth, but it’s a pretty good start!

If you notice your mental sharpness dulling, don’t fall into the idea that there’s nothing you can do to support that brilliant brain of yours! While technically an organ, the brain acts and functions like a muscle, meaning, with the right exercises, you can potentially train your brain to even stronger proportions!

Fall is here, and holiday madness is just around the corner! For many of us, early October marks the beginning of a three-month-long holiday frenzy when we spend more time in stores than we might like, decorate and re-decorate our home to reflect the season, and have more items on our to-do list than hours in our day.

Healthy Thanksgiving Side Dishes

Unfortunately, Thanksgiving food is traditionally full of butter, cream, carbs, unhealthy fats and loads of calories. While we can all admit that this food is downright delicious, it doesn’t typically accommodate those following special diets and, often times, those individuals miss out on most of the yummy Thanksgiving side dishes. To ensure everyone sitting around your table can partake in the feast, we put together a list of paleo, vegan, keto and gluten free side dishes and a pumpkin pie recipe that’s friendly for most dietary restrictions.

Healthy Halloween Treats

It’s nearly impossible to think about Halloween without candy coming to mind. It’s a true test for those with a sweet tooth. Halloween can cause us to overindulge in chocolaty, sugary goodness, derailing any commitments to a balanced diet. And the worst part is this candy doesn’t disappear after the holiday is over. It stays in our cabinets for weeks, if not months, tempting us with its sweetness!

Summer Produce: How to Shop in Season

Shopping according to what’s in season is a surefire way to get nutrient-rich and naturally grown produce. Being able to buy all fruits and vegetables year-round regardless of their season easily raises questions of their origin--how far has this produce traveled to get to your local supermarket? If your fruits and veggies have been grown using GMOs, then how does that affect nutrient content? When you shop in season, you’re more likely to purchase food that is not only grown naturally but is also packed with nutrients. So, how do you shop in season?

Thanksgiving Recipes for all Dietary Needs

If there’s any word to describe Thanksgiving, it’s indulgent. While a holiday best known for expressing gratitude, we cannot deny that this time of the year guides us to some not-so-healthy food. While we’re advocates for treating yourself, we know that not everyone’s diet is compatible with turkey, butter, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. So, this time of year can be incredibly challenging for those with dietary restrictions.

Feed Your Brain

We often get caught up solely in the physical rewards of diet. Maybe, we decide to eat more veggies and cut out bread in order to shed some pounds. Or, on the other hand, we eat more protein so we can gain muscle. Regardless of the reason, most of us think about food and how it affects us physically. How often do we think about how diet affects the brain? Food not only fuels the energy of our brain, but it can also promote mental health.

Yoga Poses for Joint Health

Practicing yoga has kept yogis strong and limber for thousands of years. But, why? How can simple movements be so effective for the body?

For those with certain joint concerns, this can be a blessing! When practicing yoga, the body goes through its entire range of motion, which allows movement to joints that may normally not be used. Because yoga doesn’t neglect joints, it can provide full body support.

Summer Produce: How to Shop in Season

Shopping according to what’s in season is a surefire way to get nutrient-rich and naturally grown produce.

If your fruits and veggies have been grown using GMOs, then how does that affect nutrient content? When you shop in season, you’re more likely to purchase food that is not only grown naturally but is also packed with nutrients. So, how do you shop in season?

Best Foods to Boost Collagen

Unfortunately, we can’t wash away our aging worries with a couple drinks from the Fountain of Youth. But we can increase our consumption of collagen, and that’s a pretty good start.

And, why is this protein so great?  Well, for starters, it helps support cartilage, bone and joint health.* But, wait...there’s more! It also ensures the health and vitality of skin, hair and nails.* Like we said, it’s not the Fountain of Youth, but it’s a pretty good start!
