In my house, Thanksgiving consists of family and friends gathering for a mega cooking event and the pie baking competition that happens once a year. This Thanksgiving, more than ever, we will pause and appreciate our good health and many blessings.
Starting this holiday season, I also want to take a moment to appreciate you, my readers. I am very grateful that my work gives me the opportunity to connect with you and all women (and men too) on their journey to better health. You challenge me every day with your experiences and thoughtful questions, which I really appreciate.
I am also grateful for your openness to new ways to bring health and joy into your life. With that in mind, I invite you to try some more ideas to help you maintain the well-being of body, mind, and spirit this holiday season. These simple tools below can help you prepare holiday meals, cope with the hustle and bustle of the season, or think about New Year’s resolutions.
1. Choose healthy products. Each year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) produces its Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides for products known as the Dirty Dozen (fruits and vegetables with the most pesticide residues) and the Clean Fifteen (fruits and vegetables with the least residues). of pesticides). After looking at this list, you may want to add extra sweet potatoes to your Thanksgiving dinner.
2. Reduce worries. Many of the women I talk to feel a little out of control. Meditation is a way to relax and also to alkalize. In this 8-minute meditation I guide you through the Alkaline Breath Detox exercise.
3. Test your vitamin C levels with this new free tool I developed! This winter, more than ever, we need to actively support our immune systems and two of the most effective ways to do this are to give yourself therapeutic doses of the immune-boosting, antiviral vitamin C ascorbate and get enough vitamin D. news is that you can assess your vitamin C status with the simple, free tool I developed. However, detecting your vitamin D levels is a little trickier. Your doctor may order a blood test or you can purchase our at-home vitamin D test kit.
4. Take 10 action steps to build bones naturally. With this free booklet you can learn the same 10 steps that I use with my clients at the Center for Better Bones. I wrote this booklet to empower women who are concerned about bone loss, osteoporosis or osteopenia. There is too much information out there designed to create fear and self-doubt. Instead, I believe women should be encouraged to take positive action to expand their self-care programs. You have more power than you realize!
Sending you my warmest wishes for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
