Eat to live ...Not to die
Avoid processed, junk, and false foods no matter how delicious and healthy the packaging tells you they are. This also goes for fruits and vegetables poisoned with pesticides, picked long before ready, sometimes even coloured, and then displayed beautifully for purchase. Choose foods that more closely align with your energy and trust your intuition as you shop. The sky is not going to fall down if you eat something of a lower resonance, but you will feel better and your energy will be supported when you choose higher resonating foods.

On my plan!

We already know they are high in antioxidant anthocyanins and are linked to decreased oxidative stress, but this recent research set out to see how wild blueberries impact fat oxidation (the process of breaking down fats) during moderate-intensity exercise.

This is just another reason among many to eat your blueberries daily. I recommend having about half a cup of berries a day.

What’s your favorite way to eat blueberries? 🫐

My fav salad 🥗

This is my favorite quick and easy lunch. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
It’s called a fat salad and why do I call it a fat salad?⠀⁣
⠀⁣
It’s full of powerful plant based compounds that help you stay healthy and fats that help you stay full and speed up your metabolism.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
The beauty of this meal is, you don’t need a whole fancy kitchen. You just need a knife and a couple of spoons.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
The key is to have all the staple ingredients in your kitchen that stay good for a long time at all times such as olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, pumpkin seeds, mustard, and canned artichokes. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
But you also want to go get fresh ingredients like tomatoes or avocados. I like to use arugula because I don’t have to chop it — I can just throw it right in. If I want extra protein, I like to add canned wild salmon because it’s fast and easy.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
I never buy store bought salad dressing because it has a lot of gums, fillers, sugar, and soybean oil. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
I usually throw some olive oil on top with a little big of balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper. You can add in mustard, tahini, or lemon for different flavors. ⠀

Deep breathing is one easy, accessible practice that can help to balance the mind and body and reduce the stress response. Many well-designed studies also show physical and psychological stress reduction benefits from meditation or activities like yoga and tai chi.
