Having a relaxing night time routine can be a great way to improve you ability to fall and stay asleep. One tip we recommend is to try drinking herbal tea because of all of its benefits! Chamomile, kava root, and passionflower teas are some of our favorites for the evening because they are naturally calming for the nervous system.

Protein is one of the most important nutrients for your metabolism, yet many of us don't eat enough at our meals. Instead, we rely on carbs to fill us up. In reality, eating more protein is one of the best ways to fill you up after a meal and keep you feeling satisfied longer!

Foods that are great sources of protein include:
Meat and poultry
Seafood
Legumes
Eggs

This time of year is the perfect time to begin using a sauna, especially if you haven't before. In addition to the health benefits listed in this post, using a sauna can also benefit your immune system, which we all need in this cold and flu season!

A good rule of thumb when using a sauna: start slow and build your way up. Sitting in a sauna for a full hour might be a bit intense on your system, so start with maybe just 15 -20minutes for the first couple of weeks.

Also, don't forget to shower after the sauna to remove toxins from the skin and to rehydrate with plenty of water and electrolytes!

Nutritional genomics, also known as nutrigenomics, is the study of how our genes interact with the food we eat. It explores how our individual genetic makeup affects our response to different nutrients and provides you with personalized information about what your body uniquely needs.

At Center for Optimal Wellness, we believe that wellness requires this personalized approach, which is why we're always using the best tools to help you!
