Inflammatory foods

This month we are talking a lot about healthy aging. One of the things I’m doing to help with that is to eat more foods that fall into the “anti-inflammatory category.”

😟Chronic, low-grade inflammation is so intertwined with aging that some researchers actually came up with a term – INFLAMMAGING!

Studies show that what you eat can play a role in helping your body fight inflammation.

Foods with anti-inflammatory properties include fruits, nuts, veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats.

(Pro-inflammatory foods are – you guessed it – ultra-processed products like cookies, chips, cake, and anything filled with sugar, salt, preservatives, etc.)

Did you do this when you were a kid?

Hey there!

Remember when you were little, and it was the last day of summer vacation? That means that tomorrow would be your first day back at school ...

Before bed, you chose your favorite outfit and laid it out so you would be ready. You (or your parents) might have planned your breakfast and morning routine so you could get out the door on time, ready to take on the all-important start of a brand-new school year.

Sound familiar? Or close to it?

Anyway … somewhere along the line, most of us outgrew that nighttime prep routine – usually in our rebellious teenage years.

We stopped giving much thought to setting ourselves up for success in the morning.

This is pretty ironic, since for a lot of us, the morning can be one of the most stressful, chaotic parts of our days!

How you START your day will set the tone for your entire day.

Well, I have a little challenge for you.

Take a cue from 8-year-old “you” and think about the things you can do TONIGHT to get tomorrow off to a GREAT start.

Then spend a few minutes after dinner getting them done!

Maybe it’s making sure your clothes are ready for tomorrow … that your meals are planned and/or prepped … and your workout clothes are packed and ready to go.

Maybe you even go the extra mile and put together a quick to-do list so you don’t lose sleep worrying you’ll forget something.

It worked then, and it will still work now.

As I mentioned the other day, it’s the small habits we build into our daily lives that will help turn your 2021 goals into a reality.

Try this for ONE week and see what a difference it can make for you.

If you’d like some personalized guidance to help get the results you’re working toward, let’s talk!

Keep up the greatness,

What's for Breakfast??

🍳😋 I get so many questions asking about what I have for breakfast in the morning … so here you go!

I always start with my Morning Mojo: Room temperature water with lemon and dash of cayenne. That helps fire up my metabolism as well as absorb all the nutrients that I will be having.

Eggs and Oatmeal is always my go to, however for the next 21 days, I am on a Keto phase plan. I am drinking bullet coffee (see recipe below) and fasting until lunch.

No matter what you choose, make sure you have at least 20-30grams (female) 30-40grams (male) of protein. That with some fiber will help you feel fuller, longer. Add a piece of fruit and you are ready for your day!!

Life is pretty busy due to my early morning classes that I coach, so I set everything up for breakfast the night before! I prepare my oats the night before and cook up all my eggs too. Then, I have grab & go meals in the morning that help me get a jump on the day. I meal prep once or twice a week, and that includes my breakfast!
