Organic vegetables can be yours for just a few minutes a day. Or if you are not into watching your labor grow into produce, visit one of our local farms.

Salty Food Addiction??

Is it possible to actually be addicted to salty food? Well, doctors and experts have said for years that the added sugar and salt in food make us overeat. I mean take nuts, plain almonds vs salted almonds. Yes, you can for sure eat more of the salty ones.

A study published in Medical Hypotheses shows that salty food can activate certain pleasure centers of the brain and that can cause you to crave more and more of it.

Try reducing your processed food intake and don’t add salt to your food and ideally, track your sodium intake for a week and see how much you consume. I am sure it will be a shocking surprise for most people.

Vitamin D helps with a whole bunch of things. A few of them are things like seasonal depression and even asthma. So be sure that you take a vitamin D and an easy way and healthy way to get a bit more. Go spend 20 minutes outside with your kids, your dog, your significant other or even alone and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and soak up a little vitamin D in the process.

Banish The Junk Food

This is actually an easy one. If you don’t buy the junk food, you can’t eat it. Studies have found that when people had a choice between a healthy snack and a junk snack, many who chose the healthy snack returned later and ate the junk snack too. OMG — SOUND LIKE YOU??

Easy — don’t buy it. When the kids come around selling girl scout cookies and candy bars, it is simple. Tell their parent you don’t want the junk and would just like to make the donation equal to ____ number of boxes. Then you support them but don’t end up regretting it when you go to put your jeans on.

Are you not getting the results you want? Are you actually working out and eating well? If so, there is a possibility that you may need to add some intensity to your workout. Add some hills to the treadmill, add some wind sprints to your run, add some rope jumping at the beginning of your workout etc.

This can help many people break through a plateau.
