Negative Thinking DOES affect your Physical Body!

Wow, this is such a great article! It is full of nuggets of wisdom about how negative thinking can affect our lives... from the type of music we listen to, to the placebo effect, to how stress breaks down our bodies' telomeres (things that keep our very DNA from unraveling)! The emotional pain chart also provides insight as to emotions that you may be storing in different locations in your body. This also lines up with our seven chakras of the body. So fascinating!

Wellness Wednesday!

Hi Everyone! It's Wellness Wednesday again! We will be posting a series for the next few Wellness Wednesdays about how to Eat Healthy On the Go, by Libbey Bartel, CNT.

Tips for Healthy Eating On-the-Go: The best way to maintain a healthy diet all year long is by planning ahead. One of the ways to accomplish this is to pack snacks, such as fruit, vegetables, nuts, hummus and almond butter to take with you so you can stay on-track between meals. If you know if you have a party or event, be sure to fill up before then. This way, you can still indulge without completely bingeing on every dish.

Stay tuned next week for how sleep can help!

Wellness Wednesday!

It's Wellness Wednesday! This Wednesday we have a short blurb about wellness and calcium from our Nutritionist, Libbey Bartel of Open Palate Holistic Nutrition

"Many of the world’s population cannot digest milk. In fact, some researchers think that being able to digest milk beyond infancy is abnormal, rather than the other way round. Milk is also a common allergen that can trigger inflammatory responses, such as stomach distress, constipation, diarrhea, skin rashes, acne, hives and breathing difficulties. 

Apart from obvious milk products like butter and cheese, foods with hidden dairy content include breads, cookies, crackers, cakes, cream sauces and boxed cereals. One of the biggest questions I hear is- If I don’t drink milk how will I meet my calcium requirements?

Milk and yogurt are not the only foods that provide dietary calcium; collard greens, tofu, rhubarb and canned salmon also are good sources. Veggies, nuts and seeds contain calcium that can help people meet daily requirements.Check out the chart and compare to 1 glass of milk which contains 276 mg of calcium."
