TIPS FOR WINTER WELLNESS

SLEEP….take time for extra sleep; less daylight, cooler days:our bodies need more sleep.   
Developing a bedtime routine with calming activities, limiting screen time & creating a restful sleep environment helps you to fall asleep faster & stay asleep.

EXERCISE….Get out and play! Regular physical activity & moderate exercise boost energy levels & help support a healthy mood.
Also helps with weight control during the more sedentary months

EAT PROTEIN….Helps reduce sugar cravings. Sunlight helps develop our “happy hormone” serotonin.
Less daylight makes our body crave more carbs in order to stimulate serotonin & that’s why we tend to eat more sugar in the winter.
This can compromise your immune system.
Eating more protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels & reduce sugar cravings.
A good substitute for meats are Hemp Seeds (1/4 cup is enough protein for a meal) and Aim’s ProPeas make a delicious smoothie.

GOOD NUTRITION…Make sure you eat well and take good quality supplements, If you are looking for good quality products to make that smoothie, try Aim’s BARLEY LIFE, JUST CARROTS & REDI BEETS.
There you have your green, red & yellow veggies that our bodies require.
Remember to take your Vitamin D3…we recommend 5000iu.s/day & Vitamin C….2000mg/day or up it to 5-6000 mg if you feel a cold coming on.
REMEMBER: IGNORE YOUR HEALTH & IT WILL GO AWAY!!!
