Small Healthy Habits With Big Health Benefits

By Dominique Andrews for Life & Beauty Weekly

It’s no secret that some of the best ways to stay healthy are eating well, lowering stress and connecting with loved ones. The challenge, of course, is squeezing in time each day — even a few minutes — to take care of yourself.

The good news is that you don’t have to take long yoga classes or whip up organic meals every day to make a positive impact on your health. Small changes can produce big results.

Research suggests that adopting a few simple, healthy daily habits will help you feel better and possibly reduce your risk of major illnesses like heart disease and osteoporosis.

Here are some of the most important changes you can make for your health, and the perfect time to squeeze them into your daily routine.

7 a.m.: Floss your teeth.

Flossing fights gingivitis and gum disease, but it may also help you live longer. A recent study at the University of Buffalo showed that oral bacteria are associated with an increased risk of heart attack. Researchers believe the bacteria that produce dental plaque can enter your bloodstream and may lead to inflamed arteries and blood clots — the hallmarks of heart disease.

Try to make it a habit to floss in the morning.

If you leave the task for bedtime when you’re exhausted, you’re more likely not to do it. It’s also smart to floss before brushing. Doing so opens up the space between teeth so the fluoride in your toothpaste can better seep in, eliminating even more pesky plaque.

9 a.m.: Pour yourself a pick-me-up.

In addition to revving up your morning, coffee may improve memory and protect against Alzheimer’s disease, suggests a review published in the American Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias. Researchers compared evidence from several studies and concluded that as caffeine consumption increases, incidence of Alzheimer’s disease seems to decrease.

The results may be due to coffee’s caffeine content. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors (“activators”) in the brain, and adenosine is known to slow cognition and affect memory.

So, in other words, with less active adenosine, the brain gets a bit sharper. This occurs even at the range of normal daily consumption (about two to four cups). More studies are warranted, but results are promising.

Other perks are also associated with daily coffee drinking: an increase in focus and concentration, plus reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease. Just don’t drink too much. More than a few cups in one sitting may lead to a caffeine overload, resulting in jitters, a headache or a stomachache.

3:30 p.m.: Reach out to a friend.

Hitting a midday slump? Feeling stressed about work? Instead of walking to the vending machine, meet up or take a walk with a friend.

If you have very little time, give her a call for a quick bonding session. Researchers at the University of Michigan found that when women felt emotionally close to someone, their levels of progesterone increased, boosting feelings of well-being and reducing anxiety.

It doesn’t require hours of talking to gain these health benefits.

A quick five- to ten-minute chat does the trick. But do talk instead of sending an email or Facebook message, which isn’t as personal and may not foster the same emotional connection.  Chances are, a quick check-in will boost the spirits of your pal too.

11 p.m.: Stretch for a better night’s sleep.

Stretching isn’t just for post-workout cooldowns. Done before bedtime, it can help you catch better-quality z’s. Try this five-minute routine: Slowly touch your toes, then rise, twisting side to side, reaching for the sky; gently stretch your neck, arms and legs.

Aside from improving flexibility and circulation, stretching helps your body release stress and tension from a long day, reports the Mayo Clinic on its Web site. Relaxing your body in this way also helps relax your brain, which receives the signal that it’s time to wind down. This healthy habit is an important part of a healthy sleep routine.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, establishing a relaxing routine like stretching can prevent sleep problems. The organization found that many people engage in stimulating practices before bed, such as watching television, doing chores and surfing the Internet, all of which do not promote a good night’s sleep. Getting a sound seven to eight hours of sleep a night will deliver a big return on your investment: Research shows it bolsters your immune system and improves concentration.

Making your own well-being a priority doesn’t take much time, nor does it mean you have to steal time away from your family.

And adopting healthy habits like these also sets a good example for your kids, showing them that sometimes life really is all about the little things.

Have You Ever Tried To Starve Yourself In Order To Lose Weight?

 To Lose Weight You Must Eat!

 By Andréa Albright

Natural Secrets To Weight Loss …

Maybe you learned it from a magazine, a celebrity, or some other “dieter” that told you that was the fastest way to lose weight…

“I just stopped eating so much food, and I got skinny” is what we hear all the time so it makes sense that it would work for you too, right? 

But is it really that way?

Maybe you can relate to this… You start the day thinking, “I need to lose weight in time for (insert special event here), so I’m not going to eat at all today!

You are CONVINCED that you can stop eating.

You’re on a willpower “high” because you’re absolutely positive that you can do this.

You skip breakfast, and think, “No problem at all”.

And then in the afternoon, you pump yourself up with some caffeine or pop a diet pill to suppress your appetite, and you get even more confident that you are really on the track to getting thin.

But then in the early evening, your body and brain is starting to shut down, and your emotions are out of control, but still you’re certain that you’ve got the willpower to make it through…

Until you smell a whiff of that pizza place or that fast food restaurant that you pass by, and before you know it, you’re stuffing your face and elbow deep in greasy, fattening food. You wake up from the food coma, and think, “What happened?!”

You were so in control and confident all day long, and you were doing so good… and now, you’ve destroyed it all, and all you’re left with is a massive dose of indigestion, fat-storage, and GUILT.

You swear to yourself, “Tomorrow, I’m gonna make up for this binge, and I’m not going to eat anything all day!”… And the cycle repeats.

Starvation diets have been around for decades, and you would think that we would’ve learned that it’s just not REALITY to believe that you can live like this, but here’s probably something you don’t know…

Starvation Diets Make You Fatter.

 That’s right, you actually gain MORE weight when you starve yourself.

Here’s what happens…

When you stop eating, your body thinks that the environment you are living in has just run out of food.

And your body is prepared for this because this used to happen A LOT to your ancestors.

There were droughts and famines, and long stretches of time where nothing grew in the area (this was long before farming or agriculture), so your body has a very sophisticated way to deal with this…

Your body slows down your metabolism and prepares for the long drought or famine that is ahead. It slows down your metabolism by immediately getting rid of the most expensive cells – muscle.

Muscle cells take a lot of ENERGY to keep them alive, and if you’re not getting enough food, then those are the FIRST to go. So your body registers, “Food is gone! Gotta get rid of that muscle!”, and it starts to do this immediately.

Your body thinks you’re in starvation mode, and it also does a lot of amazing things to your brain and energy levels in order to keep you alive – mostly slowing you down, and pumping you full of “stress hormones” that are going to give you a temporary rush of energy, but they have long term, devastating effects on your metabolism and brain chemistry.

Starving yourself gets rid of muscle cells, which slows down your metabolism, and it also trains your body to store more FAT cells. Why? Because fat cells are your “storage cells” that are there to keep you alive when all the food has run out.

So when you break your starvation diet or fast with a binge (which you ALWAYS do)… then your body is going to make sure that it has even MORE fat cells.

Your body is preparing for the NEXT time that the food is going to run out, and you’ve already programmed your body to EXPECT that to happen (that’s the next time you go and starve yourself).

 Starvation Diets Are Insanity…

You’re setting yourself up for a vicious cycle of losing muscle, slowing down your metabolism, depleting your brain and energy levels, and training your body to store more fat. Isn’t it great?

And you thought starving yourself was sexy and only the really “strong” people can do it.

But in reality, it doesn’t work for longterm weight loss.

People who are starving themselves don’t have the energy to exercise or use their brain for learning or productivity, and if you’ve ever felt their bodies, you can feel that they have almost no muscle tone at all.

 What Is The Best Way To Lose Weight? 

Feed your body natural, whole foods throughout the day, and never let your body go into “starvation mode”.

When you eat a small, healthy meal every 2 or 3 hours throughout the day, you are telling your body, “There is food everywhere! I live in an abundant land that is healthy and thriving”.

This will tell your body to make MORE muscle, and use that energy for learning, exercising, and LIFE.

You’ll feel ALIVE and vibrant throughout the day without the up and down crashes where you need a caffeine or sugar boost to pick you up.

Plus, you’ll be speeding UP your metabolism by training your body to USE the energy and hold onto the muscle that makes you leaner and tighter all over your body (muscle takes up less space than fat cells, so you get lean and tight all over).

In other words, you’ll STOP storing fat, and start feeling GREAT.

Plus, you’ll be setting yourself with a lifestyle habit that you can live with.

Once you get into the habit of eating every few hours, you will feel the energy and vitality pulsing through you, plus you will have the emotional energy to say “No” to sugary, fattening foods that are EVERYWHERE around you. 

You Can Succeed At Your Weight Loss Goals…

 Set yourself up to succeed with long term weight loss by using the natural, loving, and gentle approach to losing weight. 

Drop the “starvation fad diets” that will only give you a temporary illusion of willpower and strength, but set you up for binge eating and fat storage.

This is how you create a healthy, radiant and happy body day after day, cell by cell, moment by moment. The war inside of you stops.

You begin to love, nourish, and appreciate your body for all that it does for you everyday.

  And when you really get tuned into this amazing life energy, and the miracle that is pulsing through you with every breath…

Your entire relationship with your body changes forever. And you never want to starve or torture it again.

Stop The Insanity Of Starvation Dieting.

Learn to LOVE and nourish your body with healthy foods, exercise, lots of water, deep breathing, and relaxation every day to keep you balanced, healthy, and full of energy!

The fat cells will start to get smaller and smaller because your body realizes that the “hard times” are over. You’re not starving anymore.

You live in a land of abundance, and your body is nourished with love and nutrition every day and always. This is a much better way to lose weight, and a happier way to live.

Remember, that there is no such thing as a “quick fix” to losing weight (if there were, we would’ve all heard of it by now!)… 

The only approach to long term weight loss is a loving, peaceful, and nourishing approach that feeds your body and spirit every day that you’re alive.

Mexican Food Tip

by Andréa Albright

Healthy Weight Loss

I am out at a Mexican food restaurant. I wanted to give you a tip for when you’re eating Mexican food.

You know those tortilla chips that they bring to the table? Well, it’s impossible to just eat one so tell yourself I’ll eat the chips after I eat my meal.

That way, you don’t feel deprived and at the end of your meal, you’re only going to eat maybe two or three tortilla chips because you’re not hungry anymore.

So try this tip and see how it works for you.

We All Want To Be Slender.

by Andréa Albright

Have you always believed that really on the inside, you are slender?

And that really you are MEANT to be slender which is why it feels so strange to feel fat?

Sorry to be graffic, and I hope I’m not offending you with my frankness…

I just want you to know that… I get it. I’ve been there. And I want you to know that there’s nothing wrong with wanting to be slender, and believing that the REAL you is slender and healthy.

In fact, I would actually say that believing and seeing your true Self as slender and healthy is … necessary.

Women who can EMBRACE their desire to be healthy and slender have more Self-Confidence and this makes you feel more powerful and in control.

If you don’t believe in yourself and your natural born RIGHT to have the healthy body of your highest vision, then you will be powerless to create lasting change…and you will continuously be taken advantage of by the next FAST weight loss scams who want to sell you a pill, or a supplement, or a procedure. In other words, you will have NO control or power over yourself.

Women who EMBRACE their vision of a slender, healthy body for themselves are admired for it.

Other people will respect you because everyone secretly wishes that they had that kind of calm, confident, collected charisma. You will be a role model who others to look up to.

When you BELIEVE in yourself, and want the BEST for yourself, it gives other people permission to reach for their HIGHEST Self… and secretly, every one is wanting and waiting to do this every chance they get.

If you don’t believe in yourself and if you don’t see yourself as a person who DESERVES to be slender and healthy, people will see your emotional needs as a burden on them. When you’re always feeling down on yourself, or criticizing your body… it is a DRAG for people to be around.

Sorry to break it to you so harshly, but I know you can handle it – I know you want to wake up.

When you give yourself PERMISSION to LOVE your Self completely, truly LOVE yourself, and want the BEST for your Self in all areas of LIFE, you are succeeding at something 98% of women fail at – Self-Love.

This makes you a WINNER in a very difficult game that our culture forces us to play.

On the other hand, if you cannot embrace this positive idea that you DESERVE to be slender and healthy, then you will continuously be a weight loss “failure” always jumping from one diet to another.

And you will never truly know whatvSelf-Love feels like… when you love your whole Self, you want the healthiest version of EVERY part of you: your body, your mind, your emotions, your spirit.

And there’s nothing “arrogant” about that.

It would be arrogant or rude if it were only limited to a few select people… or if only a FEW lucky women were able to get the BLISS of a fully healthy and happy LIFE… you know, those “skinny bitches” who get to have their cake and eat itvtoo while the rest of us struggle and fight for crumbs… NO! That’s NOT how this is. That’s NOT how the universe works.

There is ABUNDANCE for all. You can have EVERY aspect of health… your highest VISION that you have only dared to dream in your quietest moments… will become REAL when you CHOOSE to let it. You have the power. You have the choice.

And it all begins with your VISION of who you really are. There are clear steps to get that vision… It starts with gratitude. Be grateful for who you are in this moment. Bring gratitude into all facets of your life…when you are with your loved-ones, the moment before you eat ANY kind of food, and most of all,vwhen you are spending time with your Self.

When you open up to gratitude, you invite more of the healing vibration that is all around you, and surrounding you, and within you always. The more you RECEIVE this health and healing, the better you FEEL and the more LOVE you havevfor your Self… you are giving your Self this consciousvgift of gratitude.

And this LOVE for your Self just makes you want to do it more and more… Do you see how it’s so much EASIER to give the healing love to someone you actually LOVE and respect? Give your Self this same gift. Take these moments of gratitude throughout your day.

Here’s An Action Step For You:

Count how many times a day you are grateful.

And when you’re eating 5 or 6 “mini-meals” a day, that will give you a good place to start

The key here is to be CONSCIOUS of the positive gifts that are around you when you choose to give yourself the gift of health.

This makes you happier and happier with the person you are – and you wake up to the fact that you have conscious control over the person you are becoming.

This is how you embrace the slender you. Make this higher VISION of your Self your new focus. Your new vision is replacing the old. This is your new HEALTH addiction.

And this new way of be-ing starts by opening up and receiving all the natural and abundant gifts that are around you right now and always. Imagine what would happen if you started to do this every day…

What would happen if you CHOOSE to believe that everything you need is surrounding you and INSIDE of you right at this very moment?… Would that jump you right into GRATITUDE and your higher Self?

And do you see how many natural, feel-good feelings you will be producing when you do this? Do you see how this is a huge step in letting go of negative thoughts and addictive, Self-destructive thinking?

When you REPLACE these positive thoughts about your Self, and that YOU are deserving of these gifts, it changes you on the inside – your mind becomes clearer and happier and healthier….

And you are less likely to want to “escape” from the present moment. So you therefore are less likely to indulge in negative, Self-destuctive behavior that numbs you out and gives you only that temporary bliss. There is no need to escape.

You are LIVING in the bliss when you CHOOSE to create it. This natural health bliss is surrounding you and LIVING and breathing inside of you.

~Take a deep breath~ and breathe that healing in… it is always there for you.

This is the process of health transformation. This is embracing the slender you.

When you see that the REAL you is your highest VISION for your Self, healthy and whole… when you align yourself with gratitude, giving, and LOVE… you are in your true Self.
