🥑🍊🍎Healthy Living Tip: Lower Your Triglycerides Naturally 🍏🍋🍌
Hello ! Today, we're diving into the heart of health - literally 🖤🤍🩷. We're talking about triglycerides, a type of fat found in your blood. Have you ever had yours checked?? Do you know why it’s important? High levels can lead to heart disease, but fear not, you can lower these naturally.
👊 Here are 5 simple lifestyle changes you can start today & share which ones do you think you could improve on this month👇👇:
1️⃣ Nutritious Diet 🍽️: Incorporate wholesome foods, rich in omega-3 fatty acids & fibres like fish, fruits, veggies, whole grains & lean proteins. Say hello to avocados, & goodbye to refined sugars & unhealthy fats. Cooking at home with healthier options sure is a great way to improve your diet!! Limit restaraunts or take out to 1-2 a month to keep you on track!!
2️⃣ Exercise Regularly 🏃♀️: Make physical activity part of your routine. A brisk walk or jog, bike ride, yoga or simply dancing around the house can help lower your triglycerides (notice those are all FREE 😉, my fave kind of workouts💪). Keep it simple, fun, consistent & change it up as often as possible! Ask me for some home routines you can try at any level!
3️⃣ Maintain Healthy Weight 💪: Losing even 5-10% of your body weight can significantly reduce triglyceride levels. Quit the fad diets and eat simple, nutritious, whole foods, balanced meals with higher protein, no or limited snacks (only when necessary), mindful eating to help!
4️⃣ Limit Sugar: No I would never tell you to fully eliminate this…I mean come on, we have to live 😉, but there are options for a healthy balance! First, limit treats like candy, cakes, desserts for special occasions & portion properly (100cal range) to be satisfied without indulging (tip: try squares of dark 🍫 kept in the freezer for a satisfying crunchy treat). For foods that contain natural sugar like fruits or carbs like pasta, bread etc, try a sugar converting enzyme or metabolic GLP 1 support like “Transform & Activate System” (ask me👇). These enzymes literally help your body convert sugar into fiber &/or support & increase the natural GLP hormone, so less of it enters your bloodstream & helps you maintain healthy levels throughout the day, no spikes, no dips, helps tackle stubborn weight, curbs cravings & improves mood & focus 👊!!
5️⃣ Limit Alcohol 🍷: Alcohol is high in sugar & calories that can raise triglyceride levels. Moderation is key! Ask me for many zero sugar/zero proof options I’ve been testing lately from UpsideDrinks.ca!!
6️⃣ Quit Smoking 🚬: Like a bad TV show, as difficult as it may be, it's time to quit smoking. It can lower your triglycerides & increase your 'good' cholesterol.
Remember folks, change doesn't happen overnight. Start small & make daily progress. Your heart will thank you!
