Hello, fabulous ladies in pursuit of a healthier, more vibrant life! Today, I’m diving deep into a concept that’s at the core of my Forever Wellness Lifestyle Toolbox: keeping your blood sugar stable to support your physical health and your mental clarity. I believe that when it comes to living a fulfilling life, it’s all about L.E.A.N. – Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition. Let’s focus on the “N” for Nutrition and explore how it can help you maintain your blood sugar and sharpen your mind.

 

Nutrition: Fueling Your Body and Mind

You see, what you put into your body matters more than you might think. It’s not just about calorie counting or restrictive diets – it’s about nourishing your body with real, whole foods. Remember, you can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Instead of going on a diet, embrace the idea of eating whole foods. Make it a habit to choose nutrient-dense options that fuel your body and mind.

The 80-20 Rule

One valuable concept in nutrition is the 80-20 rule. It means that 80% of the time, you focus on making healthy food choices, and 20% of the time, you can enjoy your favorite treats guilt-free. Dessert isn’t the enemy; it’s a joyful part of life!

Mindful Eating

Another crucial aspect is mindful eating. Pay attention to what you consume, savor the flavors, and listen to your body’s hunger cues. It’s not just about what you eat, but also how you eat.

Dietary Supplements

While whole foods should be your primary source of nutrition, supplements have their place. They can fill in the gaps where your diet falls short, ensuring you get all the essential nutrients your body and brain need.  Read more about my thoughts about supplements here.

Exercise

Regular physical activity is a vital pillar of L.E.A.N. It not only helps manage blood sugar levels but also boosts brain health. Incorporate a mix of aerobic and strength training exercises into your routine to stay active and vibrant.

Attitude

Your mindset plays a significant role in maintaining stable blood sugar and brain sugar. Embrace a positive attitude towards food, exercise, and life in general. Surround yourself with empowering thoughts that inspire you to make healthy choices.

Lifestyle

Lastly, your lifestyle choices matter. Plan, prioritize, and prepare for success. Just like when you were a foil fencer, achieving your goals in life requires careful planning, prioritization, and preparation.

 

A Vibrant Life Awaits

As the Healthy Living Liaison, my mission is to empower you to live a life that’s not only healthy but also happy and vibrant. By focusing on L.E.A.N. – Lifestyle, Exercise, Attitude, and Nutrition – you can keep your blood sugar stable and your brain sugar sharp. It is NEVER about strict diets; it’s about nurturing your body and mind with love and care.

So, here’s to savoring real food, making good decisions, and being accountable to yourself. Let’s continue this journey together, supporting one another every step of the way. Your goals are within reach, and your dreams are worth pursuing. Stay inspired, stay L.E.A.N., and live your best, most vibrant life!
