Blueberries are an antioxidant superfood, high in potassium and vitamin C. Not only can they lower your risk of heart disease and cancer, they also help maintain bone strength, mental health, and a healthy blood pressure. They also contain anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce inflammation which is a cause of numerous chronic diseases.
Blueberries also contribute to regularity for a healthy digestive tract because of their fiber content. High fiber foods help with weight management by increase satiety, or the feeling of being full. Feeling fuller for longer can reduce a person’s appetite and overall calorie intake.
When selecting berries, note that the darker they are, the more antioxidants they have! ... See MoreSee Less

The thoughts that course through your mind, including self-talk, impact your health on a daily basis. Positive thoughts are especially beneficial. Besides creating an optimistic attitude toward life, science has shown that positive thinking may improve cardiovascular health, inflammation and stress responses, the immune system, and even genetic makeup!
This even applies to the placebo effect. In a recent experiment, researchers observed that participants who believed their fitness routine was customized for them experienced greater improvements than those who were given the same routine without any indication it was tailored to them.
Studies have also shown that imagining eating junk food can activate the same neural networks as the physical act itself, which can help dieters stick to a healthier eating pattern. ... See MoreSee Less

Vitamin K is actually a group of compounds, vitamin K1 and vitamin K2. Phylloquinone, also known as vitamin K1, is found in plants. When people eat it, bacteria in the large intestine convert it to its storage form, vitamin K2. It is absorbed in the small intestine and stored in fatty tissue and the liver. Without vitamin K, the body cannot produce prothrombin, a clotting factor that is necessary for blood clotting and bone metabolism.
Vitamin K is found naturally in a variety of foods:
🥬Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, kale, broccoli, and lettuce
🫧Vegetable oils
🫐Blueberries, grapes & figs
🫙Fermented foods like Sauerkraut & Kefir
🐓 Chicken Breast, Liver & Eggs
🧀 Cheeses like Gouda & Blue Cheese
🍛 Soybeans, especially the Japanese dish Natto, made from fermented soybeans. ... See MoreSee Less

✨Mindful Moments✨
Why is a simple word that many kids learn to ask—often to the point of exhaustion that results in their caretakers responding ‘because I said so’. While that response generally ends the conversation, it does little to satisfy the child’s natural curiosity for learning. As we grow into adults, we stop asking why as we do our best to balance the obligations & responsibilities of life.
So why is ‘why’ so important anyway?
Because I said so. 😉
Actually, it’s because our ‘why’ is deeply connected to our sense of purpose & overall feeling of satisfaction. The conscious thought of why we are doing something stimulates our motivation to pursue our mission with determination, even through difficulties. Our ‘why’ can also shift our mindset when we are viewing our circumstances negatively.
For instance, if we are in a demanding work situation, we could focus on how it is negatively impacting us which can lead to a pessimistic outlook and further frustration. Instead, if we focus on why we are working so hard—financial freedom, supporting our loved ones, furthering a cause—it enables us to handle any circumstances in stride.

Knowing the motivational benefits of listening to music, headphones are a must have for the gym. Some wireless earbuds and headphones are better suited for working out than others. Sound quality is obviously an important factor, but so is durability.
Here’s what to look for when picking out headphones:
🎧 Comfort and fit
Look for headphones that stay on and out of your way. Ear shapes and sizes vary dramatically, so no single pair of even the best sport headphones will work perfectly for everyone.
🎧 Cable-free design
Bluetooth earbuds are best for workouts because they’re small and unobtrusive. Plus, they let you keep your phone tucked away.
🎧 Sweat resistance
Standard headphones aren’t built to withstand sweat so look for headphones that have a rating of IPX4 or higher.
🎧 Noise isolation
For gym use, most prefer headphones that block out external noise. But the inclusion of a hear-through mode is helpful in a gym setting. ... See MoreSee Less

With Summer fast approaching, there may be opportunities for doing an obstacle race to challenge yourself physically and mentally! Ideally, you should be training for at least 8-12 weeks before your challenge. This should give you enough time to build endurance, mobility and grip strength, three essential components for every competitor.
Endurance: Running is the core of every obstacle race, so it should be at the core of your training. A solid training plan will have you running at least 3 days a week with variations between long & short runs, on terrain similar to where you will be racing.
Mobility: This is often the most overlooked and undertrained discipline in racing. Incorporating Bear Crawls & Crab Walks into your prep can greatly enhance your adaptability to conquer the obstacles.
Grip Strength: While strength in general is a huge asset in racing, grip strength specifically is essential as most of the obstacles mainly test your upper body. Adding Dead Hangs & Farmer’s Carry into your workouts will help strengthen your grip. ... See MoreSee Less

Nuts are seed kernels that are widely used in cooking or eaten on their own as a snack. They contain a hard, inedible outer shell that usually needs to be cracked open to release the kernel inside but luckily most nuts are sold already shelled. Peanuts are technically legumes like peas and beans, but they’re referred to as nuts due to their similar nutrition profile and characteristics.
The carb and nutritional content of each nut is highly variable. Most nuts are high in fat, loaded with antioxidants and have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Several studies have shown that blood sugar and blood pressure improve with nut intake.
They can be enjoyed whole, as nut butters, or chopped up on food with the healthier options being raw or toasted. As long as you eat them in moderation, nuts make for a tasty addition to a healthy, balanced diet.
Although being high in calories, nuts have been shown to promote weight loss. This is due to the fiber helping you feel full and because your body doesn’t absorb all of the calories. The fiber also works as a prebiotic to promote gut health! ... See MoreSee Less
