A CORE ROUTINE
I recently heard the most interesting question I think I've ever heard in my entire life. "If you had NO way of knowing your age. No birth certificate, no birth date on record, and you had to assign an age to yourself based on how you feel and look... what age would you give yourself?"
I know, right?
Sweet Ones, when it comes to your health, consider looking at is as a "wellness commitment" to yourself, and it SHOULD be a commitment that becomes your non negotiable.
Why your non negotiable?
Because, you will have your body for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Read that again.
Why then, would you settle. Compromise. Cut corners?
Right. YOU WOULDN'T!
Supplements can easily fall to the wayside because we don't "feel" or "see" an immediate change. It's important to keep in mind that It's not how it makes you feel TODAY in the "right here, right now" (although yes, you might very well feel an instant impact!) but more importantly, it's how it (a supplement routine) sets you up for strength in health and wellness tomorrow.
There's just so much when it comes to your health, that you can't even see. You literally have no idea what is happening behind the scenes... at a CELLULAR level but you WILL start to feel it IF you stay consistent!
If you have suddenly been feeling "less than par": tired, irritable, sore, frustrated, un- motivated, miserable.... it's easy to want to feel better because you know what you felt like yesterday, or last week. It's easy to measure what we have lost, but we can't measure what we haven't even yet gained and so we become accustomed to how we feel, not realizing that we could potentially feel even better!
More energy, more focus, more vigor... living ABOVE that wellness line. If you haven't yet been there, or if it has been years since you have been, you may have gotten comfortable with your current state of health.
(spoiler alert: comfortable is not where you want to be. )
So I want you to think about something today:
WHERE DO YOU WANT YOUR HEALTH TO BE
10 YEARS FROM NOW?
20 YEARS FROM NOW?
30, 40 YEARS FROM NOW?
You see, THAT'S what this is about. Taking your supplements today, exercising today, eating right today.... you are setting yourself up for health and wellness you can't yet measure.
I started my skin care routine when I was 20, knowing I wanted great skin when I was 70. (Thank you Cindy Crawford for your relentless messages in Glamour magazine about skin care in your 20's)
I started my supplement routine around that time as well knowing I wanted to feel like I was 30 while in my 80's.
I don't want to play the "catch up game" when it comes to my health and I don't want you to either.
Start today, with whatever you have!
Here's my daily core, I learned this core routine years ago following a protocol set by Dr. Oz and it was incredibly easy to follow and I have loved this routine.
Will you consider joining me and keep what's rightfully yours: Health, Vitality, Wellness?
*Rightfully yours. That is beautiful to think, isn't it?
SO HERE WE GO, HERE IS YOUR CORE BASE
ENZYMES
These are KEY to everything with life. Every living thing needs enzymes to function properly. Enzymes ARE life. Have you ever cut an apple and see it turn brown? Enzymes did that! Baby cereal that turns to liquid after mixing with breast milk? Enzymes did that! Enzymes break down nutrients for proper assimilation. And our marvelous body, naturally produces them! It all starts with saliva! But, we don't produce enough with our American Diet habits and food quality. Not sure where to start? Start with Essentialzyme 4.
Enzymes help to break up the foods we eat for proper nutrient assimilation and digestion
ANTI OXIDANTS
They fight the good fight in your body and scavenge out free radicals. NingXia Red is my best friend for this!
Try adding orange vitality to kick your NingXia Red up a notch!
More on NingXia Red:Helps prevent oxidative stress
Provides a nutritive infusion for whole-body support
Contains a synergistic blend of Orange, Tangerine, Lemon, and Yuzu premium essential oils
Provides energy support without caffeine
Supports whole-body health and wellness
Contains powerful ingredients that are involved in many antioxidant processes
Supports normal eye health
Supports healthy digestion
PRO BIOTICS
We all need good bacteria. I personally choose Young Living, Life 9. This is uniquely formulated to most resemble juvenile intestinal flora (so it's great for kids) and our formula adheres to the intestinal wall and proliferates. And that's what makes our probiotic completely undifferentiated from any other in the industry.
(And if you say "just eat yogurt", I'm here to say, it's not nearly sufficient as a stand alone and the ingredients in yogurt are often times cringe worthy if you are not reading your labels, you should!)
More on Life 9:
Promotes healthy digestion
Supports gut health
Supports a healthy immune system
Helps maintain normal intestinal function
MULTI VITAMIN
Because it's obvious and a standard. A multi vitamin delivers a broad spectrum dose of all the right single elements your body needs to preform optimally.
ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Bones, joints, heart, brain, emotional well-being, cells...... the benefits of essential fatty acids have long been celebrated. I encourage you to study up on the myriad of benefits!
Supports cardiovascular and skeletal health
Supports normal, healthy brain function
Supplies critical EPA and DHA nutrients
Supports normal immune response and antioxidant levels
Promotes normal eye, skin, and joint health
I love Young Living Omega Gize, and it also has CO Q 10 and vitamin D3.
WATER
At least half your Body weight in ounces has long been a great standard to follow. And, if you enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, make sure you double that size to replace with water. So, if you had a 4 oz cup of coffee make sure you replace it with 8 oz of additional water.
I love adding frankincense, and orange vitality to my water, what's in yours?
