#16 Eat Your Veggies

Have you heard the term plant based diet? It is among the most popular themes currently running in the nutrition/wellness/weight management/disease prevention arena. Surely you hear experts recommending that you eat your veggies.

Some trends come and go. There is something about the emphasis on eating fruits and veggies plus nuts and seeds to enhance your health that has lasting, timeless relevance. This is not a fad.

In this episode, I will walk you through making a transition toward a plant based diet. Sharing with you my own journey moving toward veganism, even without being 100% at this point, may help you find your path. What is unique about dietary decisions is that yours will be unique from someone else’s and that is how it should be. Finding what works for you is what the journey is.

In this episode of Health Matters Podcast, I explain three benefits for you to eat more and mostly plants. They are:

You will be crowding out lower-nutrient food with higher-nutrient food such as fruits, veggies, nuts, and seeds.

As you dial back junk food and include more whole food, there will most likely be a positive bump in the function of your body. (I call this a WOW)

You will be lowering the toxic load to your body which supports digestion and elimination.

In this episode, I will also be discussing  five tips on this new approach to eating more plants. They are:

Consider your food selections as a journey rather than a destination.

A hybrid approach is perfectly reasonable and perhaps more doable for those of you who do not want to or are not ready to give up eating meat and other animal products.

Keep it super simple.

Learn to overcome myths and misperceptions.

Start experimenting.

To support you in getting the most from this episode, I have prepared a download to inspire you to get those veggies cooking in your own kitchen – called "Cooking With Veggies". Click on the button to get it.

My goal is to inspire you get started with some confidence and excitement. Once you have your own experience about how good healthy tastes, you may never want to get off this new path.

I’m excited for you to start your journey to eating food that pays you back with vibrant, optimal health.  Listen in here.

#15 Why Stretching Matters Part 2

Yoga stretching is like the fountain of youth. Consider doing yoga stretching for a wide variety of improvements in how you feel in your body every day. 

Think of the difference it would make in your life to feel more comfortable, more relaxed, more alive. Yoga stretching can help you achieve all of these and more.

May I assume that you followed my suggestion and have listened to Part One of this two-part podcast? Episode 14 comes before 15. You will invariably get more value if you listen to them in order. Yoga stretching can become part of your life. Let me show you how.

Here are the topics I broached on Health Matters Podcast Episode 15:

How to deal with a “too-busy” life.

How do yoga stretches help if you feel stiff in your body?

What about equipment and your space? What do you need to get started?

What about when to stretch? Is it better to have one set time, or are there a variety of ideal times for you to stretch your body?

What are the pros and cons of working with a teacher, versus stretching on your own at home?

Why it is better if you don’t compare yourself to others and have your progress be personal to you.

Is yoga spiritual? Physical? What’s up with that?

If you have just a few minutes, let me show you how to make the most out of a much shorter time allocated to doing yoga stretches.

What about a more advanced practice?

Consider attending a yoga retreat for a deep dive.

Be on the lookout for other psychological benefits, such as relief from anxiety, depression, substance cravings, and massive debilitating stress.

Bu the way, the free download for this episode is a “Users Guide to Yoga Stretches”.  I’ll help you clear out whatever obstacles are in your life so you can hop on your yoga mat and enjoy the lovely rewards you will experience soon enough.

#14 Why Stretching Matters Part One

Yoga Stretching to do at home for optimal health and well-being.

Do you resonate with the idea of becoming looser, more balanced, more comfortable, and stronger in your body?

If so, follow along with me in 'Why Stretching Matters Part One' in this Health Matters Podcast, and then, afterward, in 'Why Stretching Matters Part Two'.

And most importantly, TAKE ACTION!

Bonus resource. This is a beautiful page with lovely and inspiring quotes. Relax like a boss

Here are the topics I broached on Health Matters Podcast Episode 14:

The joys of stretching. What can happen for you when you begin to stretch your body?

Let’s discuss a plan, so that you can literally move ahead with your practice.

You can stretch dutifully, knowing that it is good for you. Or, you can fall in love and have a transcendent experience. Both are perfect, and you can’t go wrong.

Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. It is built in to yoga that you work with what you have and meet yourself where you are in your progress.

Yoga versus stretching… they overlap, and are differentiated in some ways.

Yoga will help you feel more comfortable, more relaxed, more embodied, and nicer to be around.

Yoga will help you have relief from pain and strain and to feel empowered to release holding patterns on your own, on purpose.

Yoga will help you unwind from stress and experience more peace and harmony in your life.

What about the medical benefits?

Yoga is good for your heart. You may be able to address a variety of heart-related issues including hypertension.

Yoga can provide other psychological benefits, such as relief from anxiety, depression, substance cravings, and massive debilitating stress.

Bu the way, the free download for this episode is a “Getting Started with Yoga Stretches”.  I’ll share a variety of resources, and walk you through a basic practice.
