Just wanted to share a tidbit from my LIVE video on Facebook last night, in case you missed it!
HOW NOT to get Sick Over the Holidays.
You all need to pay attention to your bodies this time of year. Stress is high. Junk food is horrible and tempting. Sickness is prevalent.
Therefore our bodies are running a notch lower in energy and immunity. Don't let your fitness be the one contributor you can control that sets you up for weight gain, and over-stressed body these next few months.
1) Drink lots of water. Eat lots of vegetables. Vegetables help keep your gut healthy and LESS acidic. The more acidic your gut health from eating high sugar foods and highly processed foods, the better your chances of getting sick. So eat those veggies to help keep the gut pH more alkalinic.
2) Increase Vitamin C. Vitamin C will help with EVERYTHING. Muscle recovery. Broken down immunity. Energy depletion. It is a great way to give your body a little buffer when it might need one. So find a way to supplement this into your daily food or supplement intake.
3) Rest. Most people do NOT realize the rest days are when your body actually does the work. It is when your muscles are building and growing and replenishing. You actually are NOT building muscle in the gym or during your workout at home. You are actually creating micro-fiber tears in your muscles and on the rest days the body says "whoa! I wasn't strong enough to maintain the stress imposed on me yesterday, I better use this quality food, hydration, and rest day to rebuild those tears stronger for next time!!"
So give your body a chance to rest. Especially during a season where your energy is also being spent fighting off stress, viruses, and maintaining your will power to not eat every chocolate bar and cookie that has made its way into your office this week.
4) Maybe consider cutting down on workouts a week and focus on being really intense a few days a week instead of tired/fatigued 6 days.
5) This applies to those of you ONLY who are working hard and maybe feeling frustrated with lack of fat loss...
hah, not those of you barely getting 1 day a week in.
If you are a person who does NOT like vegetables or is NOT good at preparing them, I highly suggest the superfoods shake, Shakeology. You can order this product HERE, and try it out for 30 days and if you don't like it--send it back for a full refund.
