Want to Change Your Health Habits but Overwhelmed with Where to Start?

Here are five simple things you can start today to feel and look better!

1- Eat Real Food- Eat food in its natural state. Try shopping around the perimeter of grocery stores and eating more raw fruits and veggies. Choose foods that represent all the colors of the rainbow to widen your intake of nutrients and vitamins. 

2- Minimize Processed Foods- This means anything that comes in a package or bag. The longer the shelf life of what you eat, the shorter yours will be. 

3- Eat Healthy Fats- Upgrade your choice of oil from canola, vegetable, corn, soybean and margarine to avocado, coconut, olive oil and butter. Fill your diet with nuts, seeds, olives and salmon. 

4- Eat with Friends- Eating with friends improves digestion by slowing down your eating, stimulating more stomach acid to fully digest your food,  increased enjoyment and savoring of your meal and decreasing your stress. Turn off the tv, phones and avoid reading or scrolling while you eat. 

5- Drink More Water- Drink half your body weight in ounces of water (not tea, juice or other liquids, just water). If drinking water is difficult for you, add doTERRA citrus essential oils to flavor your water and ease your toxin load.

Did you know that Lemon is dōTERRA’s top-selling essential oil? That’s right! Lemon essential oil is a powerful cleansing agent that can help aid in digestion.* With its multiple benefits and uses, Lemon is also great for purifying the air and enhancing the flavor of desserts and main dishes. When diffused, Lemon is very uplifting and energizing and has been shown to help improve mood.

My favorite way to use Lemon is in my water every morning to aid in detoxification, focus and energy plus I love the taste!
 
Does your house become a little messy after enjoying the holidays? To help alleviate any mess, try using this amazing DIY recipe for reusable dust wipes with Lemon essential oil.

Warmer Weather's Coming. Stay Hydrated!

After glancing at our town's 10 day forecast, I realize summer is upon us! It's time to get those water bottles out and filled with water! 

Consider these incredible facts about water: 
  • At 4% water loss, muscle endurance diminishes and you start to get  dizzy 
  • At 5% water loss, headaches begin, drowsiness, loss of concentration and unreasonable impatience occurs.
  • At 6% water loss, body temperature is impaired and your heart begins to race.
  • At 7% water loss, there is a good chance you will collapse​
    • ​statisticbrain.com

How Much Water Should I Drink?
  • Half of your body weight (lbs) in ounces of water per day.
  • Drink an extra 8 oz of water for each cup of coffee, tea or soda that you consume.

Tip: Adding 1-2 drops of lemon or wild orange essential oil to your water makes it more enticing to drink for those who don't like water. 
​
To celebrate the coming of summer: SAVE $2 on any Glasstic water bottle now through June 1st at the Country Cupboard.
