This Weeks Little Life Notes From Me to You
I'm enjoying walks down at the creek again as the weather warms up. Walking is one the best ways stay healthy and it's so versatile! With good footwear you can traverse whatever terrain suits your ability and style, from malls to hiking.
Choose to be out in nature often as it's very healing because of the effect that it has on your brain. The sound of wind and water is soothing, the scents of trees trigger a relaxation response, and the beauty of light and shadow uplifts us. The light is different at various times of the day, and this sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep at night and wakefulness during the day.
Enjoy your weekend!
🧘♂️A Quick Guide to Improving Your Body's Energy and Nutrient Conversion💪
Looking back on my weight journey, I see that I was gaining weight from that 1-2 glass of wine almost every night, for others it’s a love of sweets or something else. You can track it down just as you find where in your monthly budget that you tend to over-spend.
Let’s take a look at how to optimize how your body uses energy and nutrients for being healthier every day.

Focus on lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables🍅. Consume grains and potatoes sparingly. Try roasted celeriac root- Yum!
Activate your metabolism with exercise!
Walking is a go-to for over-all wellness, and it’s easy on the joints. If you have knee problems use an elliptical trainer at the gym. You can gradually add to your effort by jogging 🏃♀️or carrying weight. Create your routine around activities you enjoy, or at least tolerate.
The goal is to amp up your metabolism, strength training helps build muscle mass which burns more calories at rest. Aerobic activities improve cardiovascular health and well-being, so you feel energized.
