15 Ways To Get Healthy

It's Never Too Late

Getting older is tough -- our bodies aren't the same as when we were younger. With all the processed food and chemicals out there it makes staying fit even tougher. It takes a lot of work to get and stay healthy. 

There are many ways to start living an Empowered Life. I recommend checking out this page as a good start for an overall look at yourself. 

Getting Healthy is more than just eating right and exercise!

To stay healthy you need to make this your lifestyle! 


Go Organic -- in everyway you can... not just the foods you put into your, body but the things you put on your body.  Those chemicals seep in through your skin and your liver still needs to process them.


Simple Clean Eating is a huge big step but you must make this your diet for the rest of your life. It's okay to have "cheat meals". 


Run/Walk/Bike -- Aerobic exercise for 30 minutes a day -- at least 3 days a week. Try yoga or pilates. 


Weight Training -- Get your muscle back! The more muscle you have the more energy you burn.


Toning Exercises -- Getting old means getting cellulite.  Don't fall for those creams or lotions.  The only way to get rid of it is to tone those thighs and butt! AND... Stretch, Stretch, Stretch


Less -- processed food, sugar, salt, flour and less calories after 5pm. Try Fasting!


More -- east more fish, bake or broil meat, relax everyday, sleep. My simple clean eating plan helps me feel good about my body. 


Time -- hang with friends, get outdoors, be with family.  


Clear the Clutter - not only the stuff but the mental clutter which will help reduce your stress. Stress creates cortisol and that is not good on our bodies when we get older.
