So last week in my blog post For the Health of it, I covered eating the most nutrient dense food we can find. The less processing the better, as close to the natural source as possible. Since each of us have different nutritional needs, it's important to keep in mind that what our children at 3,5, 13, & 23 can eat is different than what a 50, 65, 85 year old person can or should eat. Portions vary, of course. Then when taking in to account a female's needs as well as a male's needs, you've got quite a bit to consider and think about. It can be confusing and mind boggling.
I began with the book Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. Mind you, I've had numerous other cookbooks and shared recipes through exchanges and so forth, but it wasn't until I read that book that true understanding began for me. Take a look at it!
As for moving...
Again, as with last week, each one of us has different needs for movement. Not all of us can be an olympic gymnast, a body builder, marathon runner, nor is any of those particular sports on our radar to desire to accomplish.
So what do we do?
Quite simply, move your body. What kinds of things do you do each day? What kinds of things are fun and enjoyable for you? Here is a list, but not exhaustive by any stretch of the imagination:
*Walking
*Hiking
*Kayaking
*Canoeing
*Camping
*Fishing
*Golfing
*Roller Skating/Blading
*Bike Riding
*Parasailing
*Shopping (yes, you move around when you're shopping LOL!)
*Riding a motorcycle
*Training your dog
And I'm sure you can add a few more to that list. Just think of things you enjoy doing. Then when doing them, you'll enjoy moving around more.
What about focused exercising? There is a time and a place for focused exercises. This is something you need to discuss with a medical professional. If you have a physical condition, discuss which exercises would be best for that condition. If you have a desired result, discuss that with them as well.
Now, I've done a few "programs" that have yielded results, but I didn't truly enjoy them. I do, however, know the merits of the exercises and I do some of them daily. Currently I am focused on my abdomen, doing extra exercises there, as well as walking 2+ miles a day in my daily comings and goings. I don't go out during the summer months and do a 2 mile walk. I try to get all those steps in and I keep track with having my phone in my pocket. I do not have an apple watch or pedometer, so my phone works great!
I have done the T-Tapp method with greater results than other exercises. Currently, I am doing the basic moves as well as abdominal and back exercises outside of that particular program to help strengthen my core muscles.
But that said, I still need to do things I enjoy in order to really revel and have fun while exercising. That way the exercising takes very little effort and thought on my part. Do you think about the exercising aspect of things when you're having fun playing volleball with your friends? Jumping off the dock in to the water and the lake? Taking a leisurely stroll along the beach looking for sea shells? I know I don't!
Lastly, when the day is over and we settle in to our chair to watch the favorite movie, we'll feel those achy feelings that come along with a busy day of having fun. Don't worry! I've got you covered!
Cool Azul is a wonderful essential oil blend of 14 oils that is cooling to the skin and soothing as well. Cool Azul is also found in Cool Azul Pain Cream. It's a wonderful addition to the line of things that help with pain!
Deep Relief helps with soothing those tired and sore muscles. It may help with an occational headache, too.
Pan Away is a wonderful essential oil blend that helps with the deep down pain. I used this particular oil quite a bit after I had my knee surgery in 2016 along with icing my knee. What a blessing this oil was!

I'll talk more about breathing next week because when you eat and you move, you really need to breathe in there too!
I love ya'all!
