]]> We can all acknowledge when you aren’t doing enough exercise, but are you aware when you are doing too much? Daily movement is really important but sometimes we overtrain, which can actually hinder our fitness goals. So, what exactly is the sweet spot?

For adults between the ages of 18-64, it is recommended to get at least 150 minutes of moderate cardio activity or 75 minutes of higher-intensity cardio activity per week, plus two to three resistance or strength training. If you regularly go to the gym then these recommendations might seem low to you, especially if you have a specific fitness goal you want to accomplish.

Figuring out what works for you means taking into consideration your age, nutrition, stress levels, and how much you sleep each night. It also means focusing on what you want to accomplish with your exercising routine, whether it is for muscle growth, weight loss, or cardio abilities.

If you work out daily without time to recover, you can put your body at risk and end up burning out. Overtraining is a common problem, especially once you start seeing results and you want to see more of them. Your body needs time to repair and recover, and if you are training every single day without good nutrition, sleep, and recovery time, you will not continue to see good results.

So how do you know if you’re exercising too much? You plateau and stop seeing progression or you actually start decreasing your level of fitness because your body isn’t given the time to recover. You also could start gaining weight— since your body is in constant stress mode, more cortisol is produced and can mess with your metabolism. Your muscles are always sore or your mood is affected—all of these are signs that you need to take a break.

]]> Chia Seeds

The national fiber intake recommendation is 30-38 grams per day for a man and 21-25 grams a day for a woman. It’s easy to reach that number with chia seeds, as one serving contains over 10 grams of fiber. You can also get 4.4 grams of protein, and a heaping dose of manganese, phosphorus, and calcium.

Goji Berries

Goji berries contain several vitamins that boost your immune system, protecting you from the common flu. Put them in a yogurt, salad, or eat alone for a sweet but low-sugar snack.

Beans

There are 10 types of dry beans, all with their own health benefits. The Dark Red Kidney Bean is the lowest of the group in calories and fat, and packs 8 grams of protein. All the dry beans provide fiber, protein, and complex carbs to keep you full and healthy.

A panoply of beans! I never ever thought I’d be excited about beans but I’ve learned to mix the soft mealy texture (which I don’t like) with crunchy vegetables like peppers or cucumbers to balance the feeling in my mouth. But then I’ve also learned from my great course plus The Everyday Gourmet – Rediscovering the Lost art of Cooking with Prof. Bill Briwa that if the texture is grainy or chalky or coarse instead of velvety smooth then the bean is undercooked! That was a revelation! I also learned some terrific ways to flavor beans as well with garlic, onions, sage, bay leaves and/or rosemary. So I’m looking forward to exploring these varieties of beans. Some black beans, dark red kidney beans, navy beans, pinto beans, black eyed peas and then There’s some here I don’t recognize. Anyone know what those caramelized tan beans are???? Any recipe suggestions?? Ideas💡??

Spinach

Spinach is truly a superfood. It’s extremely low in calories (7 per serving) but contains vitamins A (28% daily value), K (228% daily value), and C (14% daily value). Make a fresh spinach salad with strawberries, put some in an omelet, or eat a healthy chicken dinner on a plate of these fresh greens.
