How to Optimize Your Health At Every Age!

                      3 simple steps to take care of YOU~

1. Eat Healthy:
Many women are eating on the go, skipping meals, making poor food choices...sound familiar?  We truly are what we eat and we pass along those eating habits to our children.  We must make healthy food choices to live a healthy and productive life.
Tips:  Be sure to eat a variety of foods, Get plenty of whole grains, beans, legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables, Choose lean meat, fish, poultry, non-fat or low-fat dairy and soy.  Select "healthy fats"-avoid trans fats and saturated fats, eat more omega three fatty acids (fish and flax) and monounsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds). Watch sodium intake. Drink plenty of water. Cut back or even eliminate fast food, soda, and other junk food.

2. Be Active:
Exercise reduces risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Being active also helps people achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Exercise reduces feelings of depression, stress, anxiety and promotes psychological well-being. Other benefits of exercise include building and maintaining healthy bones, muscles and joints, promotes flexibility and balance.
Tips:  Approximately 30 minutes a day; Take a brisk walk, dance, actively play, jog, bike, run, weight train, garden, take the stairs, always park farther away, stretch & take fitness breaks throughout the day,

3. Manage Stress:
Women are the world's best jugglers...however there is a price to pay and that is women have more stress than ever.  The health consequences of stress include digestive issues, compromised immune function, sleep disorders, weight gain, heard disease, and more.  It is estimated that 75%-90% of doctor visits are stress related. 
Tips for stress management:  Identify stressors in your life, Schedule personal relaxation time, Choose good foods & nutrition, Exercise regularly, Rest/Sleep more, try Shaklee's Stress Relief Complex: Item #20656
