Healthy Evaluation

The trend encourages us to evaluate our personal relationship with alcohol. Are we totally fine without it? Does its absence make us feel a bit strange? You may find that you don’t miss alcohol—or the hangover it brings—at all. Bear in mind that alcohol can be a depressant. Take time to notice how many of your activities involved drinking and whether it just felt part of a social norm and if your relationships change.

A Welcome Detox

Look at the month like a reset. After a boozy summer, it’s not such a bad idea to give your liver a break! Chances are you’ll feel more energized and less sluggish without the alcohol, and the detox can also improve the quality of your skin and sleep.

Engage in Other Activities

If alcohol is a method for you to de-stress, look for alternative ways that you can relieve tension, especially after a long day. Go for a walk, hit the gym, read a book, or work on a project you’ve been meaning to get to. Doing Sober September with friends and family can also offer a great support system.

Vitamin D

Known as the “sunshine vitamin”, sunlight triggers your body to produce Vitamin D. This is a crucial vitamin for the body’s overall health.

Improves Bone Health

The sun helps the body to better absorb Vitamin D which helps our bones grow strong and to better mend themselves.

Promotes Healthy Skin

Sunshine has been shown to improve the skin’s immunity to disease and it helps boost the skin’s capacity for healthy sweating and absorption.

Better Eye Health

Vitamin D has been linked to improved vision. The sun’s rays can actually promote eye health and have a curative effect.

Helps Treat Depression

Exposure to sunlight helps the body to release serotonin which combats the symptoms of depression and leaves you feeling more energized and happy.

Aids Sleep and Brain Function

Sunlight directly affects the brain’s pineal gland which is the gland that secretes melatonin, a powerful antioxidant that is important for sleep quality and can help prevent depression.

Where’s Your Energy Going

Your focus has probably shifted from working out every day to trying to keep you and your family safe, and that’s not only normal, it’s helpful. You haven’t lost your motivation, it’s just changed and it’s smart to prioritize other things right now.

Manage Your Expectations

Times are tough right now, so lower your expectations and just do something to maintain your healthy habits. Just moving is a great step in leading a healthy lifestyle.

Take the First Step

Sure you may not have time for an hour-long workout, but even just five to ten minutes is a step in the right direction. You shouldn’t expect to go from sitting on the couch to running a marathon.

Create New Habits

Now’s a great time to try new foods, new recipes, and different ways to exercise. You may even find some new foods or a new workout that makes it easier to maintain healthy habits.

It’s about you

As with most other exercise forms, yoga isn’t a competition. Yoga is a work in progress.  It’s about challenging yourself to reach further or stretch longer, etc.

It’s not all about bends and stretches

Part of yoga is about bending and flexibility.  But what needs to be flexible is your mind and how you approach yoga as a discipline.

Use props

The props available in yoga such as straps or blocks do not make you less advanced than others.  Using them means you are aware of your body’s limits.

You can take a break

No one will judge you if you assume the Child’s Pose when it becomes intense or if you choose to have a water break.

It’s not always easy

Some of the poses in yoga are hard.  Be prepared to fail before you succeed, just like everyone else.

It’s not just about your body

Yoga creates a sense of inner peace and mindfulness that other exercise forms just don’t.

Sugar

Before she was diagnosed with diabetes, Berry loved sugar. The actress used to start her day with sugary cereal and always had a candy bar with her. After being diagnosed, she stopped eating sugar completely and within a few weeks, her cravings disappeared. She only eats sweats on her kid’s birthdays and she snacks on low-sugar fruits.

White Carbs

She quickly learned that the body breaks down refined carbs into sugar, so she stopped eating them to manage her diabetes. She doesn’t eat rice, pasta, or bread. After cutting out white carbs, she swapped high-carb foods with low-carb alternatives and healthy fats. Instead of eating mashed potatoes or pasta, she eats cauliflower mash with butter and salt and zucchini noodles.

Conventional Wine

As a wine lover, she didn’t want to to completely give up wine, so she found a natural, organic alternative that contains no added sugars or chemicals and they don’t have as much sugar or alcohol as the average bottle of wine.

UV Protector

The sun can wreak havoc on our skin with its harmful UV rays. Counteract the sun’s damage by applying vitamin oil topically on top of your sunblock to help keep your skin protected and healthy.

Mix it With Other Vitamins

Make sure your skin gets the complete vitamin blast from other vitamins such as D, B, C, and K because it isn’t enough just to apply Vitamin E. While you can apply vitamin essence and serums before the application of your creams, try ingesting it with a meal too to receive optimum benefits from this awesome product.
