Happy Wednesday! ☀️

Here is some mid-week motivation to help you keep pushing forward!

Have you heard of the Mediterranean diet?

This diet emphasizes the incorporation of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes while limiting added sugars, sodium, and highly processed foods.

When it comes down to it, the quality of your diet and ensuring you are including nutrient-dense foods is the most important! 🍎🥑

Celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month by following the directions below for box breathing.

Directions:
- Keep your eyes open or close as you breathe in slowly for 4 seconds
- Hold gently for 4 seconds, trying not to clamp your nose or mouth
- Slowly exhale for 4 seconds
- Hold for another 4 seconds
- Repeat these steps at least 3 times

Fact: Sometimes it helps to print out the photo of the box and follow the lines with your finger as you are breathing as another way to allow yourself to slow down and focus on your breath.

Benefits:
- Resets the breath and the nervous system
- Helps get out of a state of prolonged stress and reduces physical stress symptoms
- Reduces anxiety and depression
- Increases mental clarity, energy, and focus

Did you know protein aids in more than just muscle development?

Protein is vital in maintaining a healthy immune system by providing the body with the proper antibodies to fight illnesses. It also has a high metabolic effect, which means our bodies use more energy to digest proteins compared to the other macronutrients (fats and carbohydrates).

Make sure you're eating the proper amount of protein to unlock its full potential!

To learn more about unleashing the full power of protein, check out this article!
