Healthy Living Starts Here!

Without the proper nutrients, the energy making factories inside of each of our trillion cells start to shut down, resulting in fatigue and ultimately disease.Nutrients don't just help our energy

The Benefits of Exercise
What is all the hype about exercise anyway?
When it comes to exercise, have you ever thought, "I don’t have the energy for that!” How about, "I don’t want to waste my energy!”The result is you don’t have the energy to do much of anything.
The truth is, you can’t waste energy. You create energy! Yes, you do need recovery time, and rest, but that is after you have put yourself out there, in one way or another.
It is important to pick exercises you like. When you find a way to make simple activities like walking fun and enjoyable, you end up looking forward to doing them. The sky is the limit really. Some days you may prefer solitude. Some days you might want the connection of a friend, or your favourite tunes. Even mix up a walk , with a few seconds/minutes of a jog/run/hop/ or skip.You might start feeling like a kid again. Now, there is a motivator!
Don’t forget to deep breathe, and let go while you are doing your exercise of choice. In addition to an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors, collect your thoughts or just de-stress, exercise also has some amazing side effects!
Exercise:
Increases IGF-1 (repair and youth hormone), which in turn:
Stimulates BDNF (brain-derived neurotropic factor), which is like a super fertilizer.
These chemicals are the brain’s way to make new brain cells (neurogenesis), and improve connections between existing brain cells (neuroplasticity)
Our bodies are designed to thrive with exercise, not without it.
Exercise has been found to improve cognitive performance, enhance memory, reverse depression, slow or stop mental decline associated with aging, and prevent dementia.
Exercise also builds new neural connections, rewiring your brain for better mood and cognitive function, making your brain run faster, smoother, and more efficiently.
It also increases levels of dopamine, which helps you focus, and serotonin, which calms you down.
It can give you the same neurotransmitter and mental benefits as Ritalin, and Zyprexa without the risk or side effects.
So … want to go for a walk, dance, hop, or a skip?

How To Manage Stress
Manage Your Own Stress:
The more control you perceive yourself to have over a stressful situation the less damaging the stress will be.
What is Your Coping Style?
One of the biggest obstacles to developing a stress management plan is your accustomed coping style. Taking an assessment of your coping style can begin to help you improve it.
According to Dr. Merrell author of The Source there are 5 different coping styles:
HELPLESSNESS: overwhelmed, incapable of reacting
DENIAL: don’t recognize the presence of stress; eventually it catches up with you.
STOIC ACCEPTANCE: recognize stress, but repress it rather than attempt to deal with it
FIGHTING SPIRIT: not afraid to engage the stressors, often head-on, but sometimes this can lead to exhaustion.
RESILIENCE: you look for links between thoughts, feelings, and reactions, and come up with a reasonable coping strategy.
Resilience is what we all want to work towards. The ability to detach from your stress, place it in perspective, and come up with a plan for coping is the healthiest approach.
When you are resilient you make the decisions, your emotions don’t run the show. You are able to come up with a plan because you are not denying or repressing the need for one. Suppressing emotions can lead to heart disease, and for the most part you are able to let go of the stress.
Stress produces cortisol, which is damaging to our cells. We know our cells, are the bottom line to Health and Wellness. If they are not healthy, no energy is created, to carry out our bodies many functions. Reducing stress is part of a healthy wellness plan.
Action steps you can take to help move your Tipping Point:
Excercise reduces cortisol levels, by giving us more clarity, which in turn aids in giving us perspecive, reducing stress.
Lavender is known to reduce cortisol levels and is a a sleeping aid.
Increased Nutrients from a natural bioavailable source aid in managing stress, by helping to clean up the free radicals(pollution) inside of our bodies, giving our cells the ability to create energy, so they don’t have to beg, borrow. and steal from neighbouring cells, ultimately resulting in fatigue, and disease.
Let us know your stressors, coping styles, and your action plan to reduce stress, thus moving your tipping point.
Let’s all get on board, doing our part in Creating Our Own Health and Wellness Story. Email, text, or facebook us with your Action plan for Creating Your Own Sustainable Health and Wellness Lifestyle.
No one can do it for YOU, but YOU. Be The Best You Can Be.

Change Your Beliefs – Change Your World!
Your beliefs are shaping your experience right now.
Your beliefs are with you in every moment, behind personal barriers, mental blocks and unconscious limitations. Focus on what’s not working in your life, and you’ll find a limiting belief. Your beliefs can keep you separated from the successes you seek. But your beliefs can also find a path to all you can be.
Your beliefs are the gateways to all that you seek, but sadly, they can also be the binding chains that keep you stuck in patterns of failure, struggle and heartache.
Want to know the most amazing part? Thankfully, the choice is yours! You can do more of what works for you, and less of what doesn’t!
You can’t escape from your beliefs.You can’t hide from them. Reality doesn’t lie. It will dish up those dirty beliefs time and time again until you change them. Playing ostrich simply doesn’t work. But you can own them, and look them in the eye, and begin to replace them with beliefs that will work for you, not against you.
If you don’t like the results you’re getting in your world, you are only one step away from a new path. Change the beliefs that lie behind the results you are getting!
Your beliefs are more powerful than thoughts. They are also the well-springs and determinants of your thoughts! Will they change overnight? Absolutely not! But they will as you replace them each day, with new healthy beliefs. Don’t give up, because one day you will realize those beliefs are not a part of you any more.
You can practice this anywhere, and everywhere!
What belief is holding you back in... Health? Relationships? Happiness? Money? Self-worth?
