Nutrition Nuggets: Best Combos for Optimal Health For Ultimate Self-Care
mercredi 13 janvier 2016 • Duration 09:43
All around you are blasts encouraging you to change: "new year, new you" is just one of the popular phrases.
But, the very concept of "change" can subconsciously indicate that you're doing something wrong.
Instead, Registered Dietitian Ashley Koff suggests focusing on exchanges, not changes.
Start off by thinking about what you're doing right or where you're finding success. Recognizing that will help you continue that success and promote forward movement.
Also, decide how you want to invest your time and feel good about it. Don't beat yourself up for not cooking every meal for yourself or your family if you don't enjoy spending time in the kitchen. You can still focus on proper nutrition by incorporating certain ingredients in simple meals.
One of Koff's favorite ingredients is hemp seed, which is what she calls a nutrient balance enabler. It's also a great source of protein (complete protein) and essential fatty acids, including the "glamour fatty acid," GLA.
Listen in as Koff shares more nutrition nuggets, as well as her take on what the new year can mean for you.
Magnesium 101: Mother Nature's Muscle Relaxant For Ultimate Self-Care
mercredi 13 janvier 2016 • Duration 09:43
And, up to 60 percent of women are not getting enough magnesium on a daily basis.
Why is magnesium so important?
According to Registered Dietitian, Ashley Koff, magnesium is like Mother Nature's muscle relaxant.
Remember, you have many different types of "muscles" in your body... your heart is a muscle just as your bicep, and your entire digestive system works as a muscle to "move things through."
Certain minerals, especially calcium, work in opposition of magnesium. Think of your digestive system. If you're combating your magnesium intake with calcium intake and it's out of balance, you may experience constipation. On the other hand, when that balance is corrected, you will feel the ease of healthy digestion.
Koff says that magnesium in tablet or capsule form is not as effective, because your body needs to break it down first before it can be useful. She prefers either powder or liquid form.
If you're looking to get some magnesium in food form, good news.... cacao (chocolate) is extremely rich in magnesium.
Listen in as Koff joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to share more about the benefits of magnesium, as well as why it's so important for optimal health.
How to Achieve Your Best Body (hint: Self-Care!)
mercredi 13 janvier 2016 • Duration 09:06
Whether you've fallen off the wagon or are starting to exercise for the first time, what is the best way to reach your fitness goals?
Bedros Keuilian is the founder and CEO of the world's fastest growing indoor fitness boot camp franchise: Fit Body Boot Camp. He joins Andrea and Lisa to share his best advice for getting your best body, this year and beyond.
First, Keuilian advises 30 minutes of high intensity interval training (HIIT), 3-4 days a week. This type of workout will burn up to 600 calories as well as create the after-burn effect for up to 32 hours post-workout. The key is to make sure you surpass the "fat burning" zone at points in your workout.
Second, it's important to set short-term goals (30 days) as well as long-term goals (3-6 months). At Fit Body Boot Camp, the theme is "accountability and community," which sets the environment for success. You look forward to going, because you're with other people who are striving for their own goals.
Third, the fastest path from A-Z in terms of weight loss/fat loss is HIIT and a proper diet. But, you will still get results if you aren't doing the high intensity training. And, you'll realize all the other benefits of fitness, such as stress reduction, better sleep, and more energy.
Finally, Keuilian shares some tips for staying on track of your fitness goals:
- Plan out your workouts ahead of time to make sure you leave yourself enough time to get in a good workout.
- Don’t overdo the dieting; make sure you allow yourself a planned “cheat day” to reward yourself for your hard work.
- Don’t get discouraged if you miss a workout or two, just make sure to jump right back into your routine.
- Although you may eat more throughout certain times of the year, try to stay on a consistent eating schedule to keep your metabolism up and running.
- it’s okay to have dessert, just remember portion size and try not to overindulge in anything.
- If you can't get to the gym, be sure to get as much of a workout in as possible at home, even if it’s only a couple sets.
Best & Worst Treatment Options for Sensitive Skin For Ultimate Self-Care
mercredi 13 janvier 2016 • Duration 09:43
Those individuals with eczema are especially subject to irritation.
Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting is a board-certified dermatologist and a past clinical research fellow of the Dermatology Branch of the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She has conducted years of research on the underlying causes of sensitive skin, and has discovered that certain individuals do not make the lipids necessary to optimize the skin barrier.
Dr. Eberting has studied (and developed) technology which replaces these lipids and protects the pH of skin.
These products both avoid the chemical reactions to ingredients of everyday products (itching, burning, redness, etc.) and address the underlying cause.
Listen in as Dr. Eberting joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to explain more about her research, the solutions she's developed, and how you can overcome sensitive skin to achieve skin that's youthful, soft, and free of wrinkles.
Carol Alt: The Problem with Coffee & Why This Matters for Your Self-Care
mercredi 13 janvier 2016 • Duration 09:42
For instance, coffee is very acidic to the body. It takes 35 cups of alkaline water to neutralize one cup of coffee or cola.
Also, even if your coffee is labeled "organic," it's difficult to guarantee that the beans were grown, harvested and shipped properly.
Coffee can put extreme distress on your adrenals, which can lead to all sorts of hormonal and body imbalances.
True, coffee does have some benefits, such as its antioxidants, but so do things like fruits... particularly berries.
Many types of tea have caffeine as well, so if you're drinking coffee for the "kick," you can do it in a healthier way.
Listen in as Carol Alt joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to share more about the problem of coffee, as well as ways you can get your "kick" in a healthier fashion.
