]]> For something so small, flaxseeds sure offer an awful lot. These golden seeds, commonly added to mueslis or porridge in the morning, are powerhouses of nutrition and should be a part of everyone’s daily diet.

Omega 3 and 6

Flaxseeds are an important vegan source of the vital fats omega 3 and 6, which contribute to brain and tissue health. If you don’t eat oily fish or eggs, make sure to help yourself to a big scoop of flaxseeds every morning to top up on these vital nutrients.

Digestive Health

Flaxseeds are an important source of fiber and therefore essential for digestive health. Many people find that consuming flaxseeds daily helps ease any abdominal pains and bloating they’ve experienced. Try them sprinkled over cereal, swirled into a soup or even baked into some muffins.

Skin Health

Flaxseeds contain vitamin E as well as collagen, both of which can help your skin to stay supple and healthy. Whilst some online trends promote applying flaxseed gel directly to the skin, evidence suggests the benefits are best absorbed when the seeds are eaten, so get creative with finding ways of including them in your diet.

]]> It’s a classic move for people to join a gym in January. That post-Christmas feeling can motivate people to get more active, and the bad weather means going for a run is not so appealing. But many people find gyms either boring or intimidating, so here are three alternative ways to exercise this winter.

Going for Some Bike Rides

This is of course weather-dependent, but cycling is a lot less daunting in the cold than something like running. You can wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air and cool breeze as you take in the wintery views around you. This is a great activity to enjoy solo or in a group.

Swimming

Swimming is an incredible exercise for your whole body while being gentle on the joints. There’s something very relaxing and satisfying about being in the water as well, and you can switch off your thoughts and let yourself get into the rhythm of the movement. It’s hard to find a form of exercise that’s as energy-burning as it is calming. 

Joining a Dance Class

Dance of any form is great exercise, and joining a dance class not only gives you the chance to learn some moves and skills but is also a lovely social activity.

]]> The popular Korean side dish kimchi is made from fermented cabbage and other vegetables and thanks to its many health benefits it’s considered one of the best foods we should eat on a regular basis. Here’s why you should include this superfood in your diet.

Probiotic

Kimchi is packed with healthy bacteria and probiotics and that’s why you should eat it if you have any problems with digestion. Kimchi also boosts the immune system and helps your body fight disease.

Heart Health

Kimchi is also rich with antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamins, and flavonoids, all of which are great for heart health and can reduce the risk of serious cardiac disorders like strokes and heart attacks.

Skin

Not only is it great for our gut and heart, but kimchi also makes us look more beautiful from the outside. Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, kimchi can potentially prevent skin conditions like acne and eczema. Moreover, fermented cabbage and garlic are packed with vitamin C that keeps our hair and skin healthy and shiny.

]]> Having trouble falling asleep at night or improving your sleep quality? A few basic yoga exercises can help you relax before going to bed and have a good night’s sleep, so make sure to take a few minutes at the end of the day to do them.

Hero Pose

For the perfect start to your workout try Virasana, or the Hero pose. It’s a comfortable seated pose that’ll help you stretch your knees and ankles.

Cat and Cow Pose

These two exercises will help you relieve stress and lower back pain, while also increasing your flexibility. Just remember to connect your breath to movements.

Legs Up the Wall

Raise your legs up the wall to let your body relax and relieve the stress. This exercise doesn’t require much flexibility or strength, but it’s very effective.

Supine Spinal Twist

Spinal twists are amazing for strengthening the spine, improving circulation, and boosting your energy levels.

Day 3 of #alovalentine is “I am joy” with any supone pose. ⁣ ⁣ I chose this supine spinal twist variation which is sometimes called cat tail pose. ⁣ ⁣ I do feel joy when I practice yoga. I’ve been with the practice for over 2 decades. (Yes you read that right 😏 21 years to be exact) The beauty of yoga practice is that it can shift to meet your current needs. ⁣ ⁣ When I first began, it was a way for me to do low-impact exercise. I had just recovered from 2 separate ACL surgeries on the same knee. I loved yoga instantly. Most appealing was how it adapts to each person. No one in class was judging me or talking about what I could or couldn’t do. We were all just practicing together. ⁣ ⁣ When things were dark, yoga was there to clear my mind and keep me in the present moment. I was very depressed after giving birth to Ben (no diagnosis yet, it was postpartum depression) and then losing my younger brother to suicide only 2 months later. Yoga helped immensely. ⁣ Now, yoga is helping me to gain strength to support Ben. I believe I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been. And it’s because of yoga. ⁣ ⁣ It truly can work for anyone, wherever a person is at on their journey for mental and physical health. It’s such a great practice. ⁣ ⁣ What has yoga done for you? ⁣ ⁣ #recliningtwist #recliningtwistpose #recliningtwistvariation #cattailpose #suptamatsyendrasana #suptamatsyendrasanavariation #spinaltwist #spinaltwistpose #iloveyoga #fortheloveofyoga #yogalove #yogashapes #yogafun #yogapractice #practiceyoga

Child’s Pose

This is also a basic yoga pose that’s great for stretching the hips, thighs, and ankles and for reducing stress and fatigue. End your evening workout routine with this pose because it’s everything you need before going to bed.

Some days will be harder than others. Be patient with yourself…You can be 17 or 78 and still make mistakes. Try not to punish yourself too much over them. You will compare yourself to others – everyone does it – remember others compare themselves to you too. Be kinder to the thoughts in your head, you are thinking them for a reason. There will always be that person who you gave your whole heart to and it still wasn’t enough for them. But you will always be enough for yourself. And when all is said and done, that’s the person who lives your life. That’s the person you have to impress. . . Thank you for these words @createthelove 💞 🙏🏻 💫 . .

Broccoli

Cruciferous vegetables have been proven to help improve your brain’s cognitive function. A daily serving of broccoli or other similar leafy greens can keep your brain sharp.

Whole Grains

The brain’s main energy source is glucose. Whole grains are a complex carbohydrate that allows a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Fish

Fatty, oily fish such as salmon and anchovies provide essential nutrients to the brain. Regular consumption of these fish has been known to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Olive Oil

Contrary to popular belief, not all oils are bad for you. Olive oil is rich with mono-saturated fat which helps keep the heart strong. After all, what’s good for the heart is good for the brain.

Berries

Blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are jam-packed with antioxidants that help improve memory. Additionally, berries have a low glycemic index despite their delicious sweetness. This helps stabilize blood sugar levels in the body.

]]> If you love avocados, you know that they can upgrade any dish, including salads, smoothies, and toast. Sometimes these fruits are avoided as they are thought of being high in fat, but experts have proven over the years that this is a healthy fat. Avocados are rich in vitamins and powerful antioxidants and can be good for your body both inside and out.

Improve Your Heart Health

Putting half an avocado in a smoothie can improve your heart health. The high-fat content helps with reducing spikes in blood sugar when consumed with other foods and healthy fats help to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and other heart diseases.

Hydrate Your Skin

Mix 1⁄2 avocado with yogurt and honey for a hydrating mask. Smooth all over your face and leave for 15-20 minutes, and rinse off with lukewarm water. The hydrating properties can reduce fine lines and help to keep your skin smooth and boost your skin’s immunity against stress.

Avoid Caffeine

Unfortunately, caffeine in your favorite drink can increase nervousness and worsen anxiety symptoms. If you have any reason to believe that caffeine is affecting your health in any way, try ditching it for a while.

Meditation

Meditation is a well-known method for reducing stress and relieving anxiety symptoms. Only 10 to 15 minutes of meditation every day can help you feel more balanced and focused throughout the day.

December has truly been a whirlwind for my family and I. I did my best to stay on track and stick to my rituals however I found that what I did not stick to was my breath work and meditations. Just a month with out this practice and I feel more anxiety then usual, my sleep has been compromised and I don’t feel quite as focused. ^ ^ The hardest part is starting again, getting back up on that horse and continuing to do the things that we know make us feel better. Even though I really didn’t feel like meditating today I made myself do it and OMG I feel so much more grounded, connected, calm and positive. ^ ^ For me I find alternate nostril breathing to be a wonderful transition into breath work and meditation. Just 3-5 minutes a day can greatly improve your energy, mood, cognitive function and so much more. So how do we do alternate nostril breathing?… ^ ^ •find a comfortable space to sit down. Somewhere you feel calm and still. Sit with legs crossed, make sure your spine is long and you sit up tall •reach your right hand towards your nose and rest your left hand gently in your lap or on your knee •with your right hand, make a Shaka 🤙🏼 sign. •exhale fully then use your right thumb to close your right nostril •inhale through your left nostril and then close the left nostril with your pinky •open the right nostril and exhale through that side •inhale through the right nostril and then close that nostril •open the left nostril and exhale through the left side •this completes one cycle. You may do this for up to 5 minutes. •try and complete this exercise with an exhale on the left side 🙏🏻 sometimes I like to shake out my arms and hands and complete one big inhale lifting my arms up and then exhale loudly and drop my arms down to release any pent up energy I might have. ^ ^ There are many ways to meditate for me I find this one easy to follow and easy to stick to. ^ ^ What about you? What are your favorite meditations or breath work exercises to do when you need to get back on track?

You might have noticed I'm not into low carb diet, also when it comes to preparing meals and snacks for my kids and the rest of the family. I truly believe we need good quality carbs in our diet in order to stay healthy and energized, and by good quality I mean coming from non processed foods, rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber 🍃 Medjool dates are my secret weapon in the fight against store bought, poor quality snacks and sweets (all the moms out there will understand the struggle!). Dates are 'natural energy bars' and they have the power to keep us happy and satisfied for hours, thanks to their high amount of fibre and low rate of carbohydrate absorption to the blood. Unlike all the store bought bars, medjool dates are naturally sweet, juicy and nutritious, without any sugar or fat added. I always search for Israeli medjool dates cause there's no other variety that could beat this taste, texture and quality. You know, the ones that taste like caramel 😉😋 They are perfect for school lunch boxes and afternoon snacking sessions, that my kids love so much.

]]> For something so small, flaxseeds sure offer an awful lot. These golden seeds, commonly added to mueslis or porridge in the morning, are powerhouses of nutrition and should be a part of everyone’s daily diet.

Omega 3 and 6

Flaxseeds are an important vegan source of the vital fats omega 3 and 6, which contribute to brain and tissue health. If you don’t eat oily fish or eggs, make sure to help yourself to a big scoop of flaxseeds every morning to top up on these vital nutrients.

Digestive Health

Flaxseeds are an important source of fiber and therefore essential for digestive health. Many people find that consuming flaxseeds daily helps ease any abdominal pains and bloating they’ve experienced. Try them sprinkled over cereal, swirled into a soup or even baked into some muffins.

Skin Health

Flaxseeds contain vitamin E as well as collagen, both of which can help your skin to stay supple and healthy. Whilst some online trends promote applying flaxseed gel directly to the skin, evidence suggests the benefits are best absorbed when the seeds are eaten, so get creative with finding ways of including them in your diet.

]]> It’s a classic move for people to join a gym in January. That post-Christmas feeling can motivate people to get more active, and the bad weather means going for a run is not so appealing. But many people find gyms either boring or intimidating, so here are three alternative ways to exercise this winter.

Going for Some Bike Rides

This is of course weather-dependent, but cycling is a lot less daunting in the cold than something like running. You can wrap up warm and enjoy the fresh air and cool breeze as you take in the wintery views around you. This is a great activity to enjoy solo or in a group.

Swimming

Swimming is an incredible exercise for your whole body while being gentle on the joints. There’s something very relaxing and satisfying about being in the water as well, and you can switch off your thoughts and let yourself get into the rhythm of the movement. It’s hard to find a form of exercise that’s as energy-burning as it is calming. 

Joining a Dance Class

Dance of any form is great exercise, and joining a dance class not only gives you the chance to learn some moves and skills but is also a lovely social activity.

]]> The popular Korean side dish kimchi is made from fermented cabbage and other vegetables and thanks to its many health benefits it’s considered one of the best foods we should eat on a regular basis. Here’s why you should include this superfood in your diet.

Probiotic

Kimchi is packed with healthy bacteria and probiotics and that’s why you should eat it if you have any problems with digestion. Kimchi also boosts the immune system and helps your body fight disease.

Heart Health

Kimchi is also rich with antioxidants such as carotenoids, vitamins, and flavonoids, all of which are great for heart health and can reduce the risk of serious cardiac disorders like strokes and heart attacks.

Skin

Not only is it great for our gut and heart, but kimchi also makes us look more beautiful from the outside. Because of its anti-inflammatory effects, kimchi can potentially prevent skin conditions like acne and eczema. Moreover, fermented cabbage and garlic are packed with vitamin C that keeps our hair and skin healthy and shiny.

]]> Having trouble falling asleep at night or improving your sleep quality? A few basic yoga exercises can help you relax before going to bed and have a good night’s sleep, so make sure to take a few minutes at the end of the day to do them.

Hero Pose

For the perfect start to your workout try Virasana, or the Hero pose. It’s a comfortable seated pose that’ll help you stretch your knees and ankles.

Cat and Cow Pose

These two exercises will help you relieve stress and lower back pain, while also increasing your flexibility. Just remember to connect your breath to movements.

Legs Up the Wall

Raise your legs up the wall to let your body relax and relieve the stress. This exercise doesn’t require much flexibility or strength, but it’s very effective.

Supine Spinal Twist

Spinal twists are amazing for strengthening the spine, improving circulation, and boosting your energy levels.

Day 3 of #alovalentine is “I am joy” with any supone pose. ⁣ ⁣ I chose this supine spinal twist variation which is sometimes called cat tail pose. ⁣ ⁣ I do feel joy when I practice yoga. I’ve been with the practice for over 2 decades. (Yes you read that right 😏 21 years to be exact) The beauty of yoga practice is that it can shift to meet your current needs. ⁣ ⁣ When I first began, it was a way for me to do low-impact exercise. I had just recovered from 2 separate ACL surgeries on the same knee. I loved yoga instantly. Most appealing was how it adapts to each person. No one in class was judging me or talking about what I could or couldn’t do. We were all just practicing together. ⁣ ⁣ When things were dark, yoga was there to clear my mind and keep me in the present moment. I was very depressed after giving birth to Ben (no diagnosis yet, it was postpartum depression) and then losing my younger brother to suicide only 2 months later. Yoga helped immensely. ⁣ Now, yoga is helping me to gain strength to support Ben. I believe I’m stronger now than I’ve ever been. And it’s because of yoga. ⁣ ⁣ It truly can work for anyone, wherever a person is at on their journey for mental and physical health. It’s such a great practice. ⁣ ⁣ What has yoga done for you? ⁣ ⁣ #recliningtwist #recliningtwistpose #recliningtwistvariation #cattailpose #suptamatsyendrasana #suptamatsyendrasanavariation #spinaltwist #spinaltwistpose #iloveyoga #fortheloveofyoga #yogalove #yogashapes #yogafun #yogapractice #practiceyoga

Child’s Pose

This is also a basic yoga pose that’s great for stretching the hips, thighs, and ankles and for reducing stress and fatigue. End your evening workout routine with this pose because it’s everything you need before going to bed.

Some days will be harder than others. Be patient with yourself…You can be 17 or 78 and still make mistakes. Try not to punish yourself too much over them. You will compare yourself to others – everyone does it – remember others compare themselves to you too. Be kinder to the thoughts in your head, you are thinking them for a reason. There will always be that person who you gave your whole heart to and it still wasn’t enough for them. But you will always be enough for yourself. And when all is said and done, that’s the person who lives your life. That’s the person you have to impress. . . Thank you for these words @createthelove 💞 🙏🏻 💫 . .

Broccoli

Cruciferous vegetables have been proven to help improve your brain’s cognitive function. A daily serving of broccoli or other similar leafy greens can keep your brain sharp.

Whole Grains

The brain’s main energy source is glucose. Whole grains are a complex carbohydrate that allows a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Fish

Fatty, oily fish such as salmon and anchovies provide essential nutrients to the brain. Regular consumption of these fish has been known to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Olive Oil

Contrary to popular belief, not all oils are bad for you. Olive oil is rich with mono-saturated fat which helps keep the heart strong. After all, what’s good for the heart is good for the brain.

Berries

Blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are jam-packed with antioxidants that help improve memory. Additionally, berries have a low glycemic index despite their delicious sweetness. This helps stabilize blood sugar levels in the body.

]]> If you love avocados, you know that they can upgrade any dish, including salads, smoothies, and toast. Sometimes these fruits are avoided as they are thought of being high in fat, but experts have proven over the years that this is a healthy fat. Avocados are rich in vitamins and powerful antioxidants and can be good for your body both inside and out.

Improve Your Heart Health

Putting half an avocado in a smoothie can improve your heart health. The high-fat content helps with reducing spikes in blood sugar when consumed with other foods and healthy fats help to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks, and other heart diseases.

Hydrate Your Skin

Mix 1⁄2 avocado with yogurt and honey for a hydrating mask. Smooth all over your face and leave for 15-20 minutes, and rinse off with lukewarm water. The hydrating properties can reduce fine lines and help to keep your skin smooth and boost your skin’s immunity against stress.

Avoid Caffeine

Unfortunately, caffeine in your favorite drink can increase nervousness and worsen anxiety symptoms. If you have any reason to believe that caffeine is affecting your health in any way, try ditching it for a while.

Meditation

Meditation is a well-known method for reducing stress and relieving anxiety symptoms. Only 10 to 15 minutes of meditation every day can help you feel more balanced and focused throughout the day.

December has truly been a whirlwind for my family and I. I did my best to stay on track and stick to my rituals however I found that what I did not stick to was my breath work and meditations. Just a month with out this practice and I feel more anxiety then usual, my sleep has been compromised and I don’t feel quite as focused. ^ ^ The hardest part is starting again, getting back up on that horse and continuing to do the things that we know make us feel better. Even though I really didn’t feel like meditating today I made myself do it and OMG I feel so much more grounded, connected, calm and positive. ^ ^ For me I find alternate nostril breathing to be a wonderful transition into breath work and meditation. Just 3-5 minutes a day can greatly improve your energy, mood, cognitive function and so much more. So how do we do alternate nostril breathing?… ^ ^ •find a comfortable space to sit down. Somewhere you feel calm and still. Sit with legs crossed, make sure your spine is long and you sit up tall •reach your right hand towards your nose and rest your left hand gently in your lap or on your knee •with your right hand, make a Shaka 🤙🏼 sign. •exhale fully then use your right thumb to close your right nostril •inhale through your left nostril and then close the left nostril with your pinky •open the right nostril and exhale through that side •inhale through the right nostril and then close that nostril •open the left nostril and exhale through the left side •this completes one cycle. You may do this for up to 5 minutes. •try and complete this exercise with an exhale on the left side 🙏🏻 sometimes I like to shake out my arms and hands and complete one big inhale lifting my arms up and then exhale loudly and drop my arms down to release any pent up energy I might have. ^ ^ There are many ways to meditate for me I find this one easy to follow and easy to stick to. ^ ^ What about you? What are your favorite meditations or breath work exercises to do when you need to get back on track?

You might have noticed I'm not into low carb diet, also when it comes to preparing meals and snacks for my kids and the rest of the family. I truly believe we need good quality carbs in our diet in order to stay healthy and energized, and by good quality I mean coming from non processed foods, rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber 🍃 Medjool dates are my secret weapon in the fight against store bought, poor quality snacks and sweets (all the moms out there will understand the struggle!). Dates are 'natural energy bars' and they have the power to keep us happy and satisfied for hours, thanks to their high amount of fibre and low rate of carbohydrate absorption to the blood. Unlike all the store bought bars, medjool dates are naturally sweet, juicy and nutritious, without any sugar or fat added. I always search for Israeli medjool dates cause there's no other variety that could beat this taste, texture and quality. You know, the ones that taste like caramel 😉😋 They are perfect for school lunch boxes and afternoon snacking sessions, that my kids love so much.
