“May we think of freedom not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.” ~Peter Marshall

Freedom is our birthright.
Freedom to live well, make decisions about our bodies, mindfully exist, connect with whom we choose, travel where we choose to go and give sustenance to the mind-body-spirit with more of the good stuff.

It is in our nature to be strong, balanced and energized. Claim it!

Happy Independence Day!

Brain Health is priority!
Think about it. If your brain is not functioning properly, how would you feel? It is the conductor of your life but you are the CEO.
Give it the respect it deserves.
Love yourself.
Respect yourself and take care of your precious self.

All things sleep this week as it relates to brain health.

In regard to my last post on how food impacts your sleep, I sited research data and in doing so, I must make a correction.
Research has shown that having meals high in fiber and low in saturated fat and simple sugars, not low in complex sugars. You want to choose complex sugars because they metabolize much more slowly.
Fuel your brain and get some good sound sleep tonight.

As always, take care of your precious self.
Much love,

Brain Health Sleep Tip

A good night’s sleep is essential to good health. The lack of good sound sleep will affect your mood, motor skills, performance as well as your ability to fight off infections.

You may not be aware of how food can impact your sleep. Specific foods directly relate to a key hormone, serotonin and along with vitamins B6, B12 and folic acid helps support sound sleep.
So, what foods can you eat that help you to get a good night’s sleep , support your immune system and increase serotonin levels improving your mood and help you to relax and get ready for bed?

Research has found that having meals high in fiber and low in saturated fat and complex carbs should lead to a deeper, more restorative sleep.
Six foods to get you there:
1. Complex carbohydrates like vegetables, sweet potatoes, whole grains, beans.
2. Lean proteins like salmon, turkey, chicken.
3. Healthy fats like walnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios.
4. Foods high in magnesium like spinach,avocados, black beans, nuts, seeds.
5. Warm beverages like herbal teas of chamomile, peppermint, Tulsi Sleep tea, bone broth.
6. Fresh herbs like holy basil in Tulsi Sleep Tea.

Overall have your last meal 3 hours before sleep and by all means no caffeine 6-8 hours before bedtime.

Sleep-inducing snacks are allowed like banana with low-fat yogurt or my favorite, pure peanut butter on slice of apple.
Of course snack in moderation.

Hope this helps but if you need more support, pre register for my Sleep Masterclass April 1.
