Pillar of Health #3: Community⠀
⠀
This may be an unexpected consideration when talking about optimal health. Back to the blue (longevity) zones mentioned yesterday, the people in these areas are surrounded with community. They get together, socialize, laugh and joke! This takes place nearly everyday.⠀
Could you imagine?!⠀
It is meaningful and necessary to have support and interaction in our lives. Imagine if three of your best friends lived on the same street as you. This is how our ancestors once lived. Now we’re deeply deprived of that socialization.⠀
⠀
I cannot emphasize this enough, especially now that I’m a parent, just how significant of a role community plays. When you’re feeling the need to interact, don’t underestimate its quality in your life.⠀

Pillar of Health #2: Nutrition⠀
⠀
We can’t have optimal health without nourishing our bodies with the right food. With so many diets, and fads it can be hard to figure out which foods are actually good for us. If we want to have optimal health, don’t we want to ask those who HAVE optimal health what they did to stay healthy? First, we have to think of the people we consider healthy. How about those that live long lives, with minimal to no disease and illness. Think of the blue zones. These are pockets around the world where people have lived the longest.⠀
⠀
I want to know what they’re doing, don’t you? Fortunately, we do know thanks to studies and research. Can you guess what they’re eating? A LOT of fruits and vegetables! Their lifestyles are primarily plant based, and Mediterranean. ⠀

Pillar of Health #1: Movement/Exercise⠀
⠀
Yes, exercise does need to be a focus in your overall health. You don’t need to be a triathlete or a body builder. Find something that resonates with your goals, and soul!⠀
Movement includes (but not limited to) things like stretching, walking, going to the gym, running - all of which are great for our health.⠀
⠀
Since we are talking about the six pillars to consider for optimal health, I want to mention BMI. This has become a somewhat controversial discussion. BMI is based on scientific and medical data.
People’s health trajectory has been calculated based on their BMIs. Those within the healthy BMI are set up for the best health circumstance.
⠀
I haven’t yet done it myself, but I plan to use the National Institute of Health’s, BMI calculator.⠀

Optimal health is what we all strive for, but ofte

Optimal health is what we all strive for, but oftentimes we find ourselves focusing on only a small piece of the puzzle.⠀
⠀
Have you ever heard of the “rule of three”?⠀
There are three major factors that contribute to our health-span.⠀
These three factors are lifestyle, environment and genetics. Each weighing in at 33% of our overall health.⠀
Taking a closer look at these three factors, we can narrow them down to make up the six pillars for optimal health, as described by Brian Dixon, PhD.⠀
Over the next week I am going to share with you what these six pillars are, and how you can use them to optimize your own health.⠀

What is clean eating?⠀ It’s not a diet, it’s

What is clean eating?⠀
It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle.⠀
When I was in my 20s I thought I ate “clean”. Like many young adults, there were days of over indulging and nights my liver wanted to disown me.⠀
What I wish I knew back then is how powerful quality food is.⠀
Good food is meant to give you energy, increase your immune system and help with aging. Yes, aging. I didn’t think I had anything to worry about. Now, I wish I had jumped on the anti-aging bandwagon. Guess what? It’s never too late! I’m not telling you to give up your indulgences (on occasion). What I am saying is that you can easily incorporate some lifestyle choices that will have you feeling better now and as you, dare I say it, age! 🧡⠀

Last month we celebrated this little girl and this month we celebrated her handsome father. Even though it wasn’t how we had planned to spend either birthday, both ended up memorable, full of smiles and filled with love. Not much more we could ask for. 🧡⠀

Focusing on food that benefits our health is more

Focusing on food that benefits our health is more important now than ever. If you are tracking macros, you may be lacking nutrients. Where there are macronutrients, there also need to be micronutrients.⠀
Carrots for example, are rich in Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), Vitamins K, B6 and evening potassium.⠀
Vitamin A is good for eyesight and immune health.⠀
Vitamin K is said to promote bone health.⠀
Vitamin B6 is involved in the conversion of energy.⠀
Potassium is an essential mineral 🧡⠀
We love steamed carrots, or raw with hummus.⠀

A little late on the Mother’s Day post.⠀
This is us. Our family. Our support system.⠀
Our days aren’t perfect, but they are ours.⠀
More often than not, we go with the flow. We seek improvements through learning and trial and error.⠀
What means the most is that we’re in this together. 🧡

The new norm.⠀
It’s disturbing and disheartening.⠀
Half of us are living in fear and the other half are preparing for what the fear will lead to. It doesn’t matter what half you relate to.⠀
What does matter is how you feel, and how you choose to take care of yourself and those around you.⠀
Stress takes a toll on your body. Even when you are staying home and protecting yourself, if you are allowing stress to consume you then your body will end up paying the price.⠀
Take care of yourself. Your mind and body are powerful.⠀

Sweet as sugar. 🧁 ⠀ My friend recently shared

Sweet as sugar. 🧁 ⠀
My friend recently shared a post about kids and their sugar intake. This is one topic that I consider incredibly important.⠀
Sugar is one of those unnecessary ingredients, as it provides no nutritional value. It is unnecessary in our daily diet.⠀
👇🏼⠀
Children’s exposure to sweets (those sweetened with sugar) should be limited, without a sense of deprivation. Their bodies will naturally tell them when to stop eating it. What we have to encourage is the right foods in their lifestyle that they prefer. If their young systems aren’t exposed to nutritious foods then they may not be able to differentiate the feeling of knowing when too much is enough. In turn they end up feeling sick 🤢⠀
Teach children from a young age the foods that will help nourish their bodies. Natural sugars - fruit and vegetables. Both will contribute to a stronger, healthier immune system. #plantbasednutritionist #healthylifestyletips #rainbowfood #sugarfreelife #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedfamily #plantpoweredathlete #eatwellbewell #dairyfreeliving #youthnutrition #holisticliving #nourishyourself #wellnessblog #LivingwithLacy #RenoNutritionist #NutritioninNevada

Yay FRIDAY!!⠀
Want to know what’s hard about kids?⠀
⠀
Their emotions.⠀
Want to know how to handle them?⠀
Don’t ask me! 😆⠀
⠀
I don’t know how to handle my own emotions half the time, so handling those of another human being? 😐 right...⠀
⠀
What I can say is let them be felt.⠀
You’re frustrated? Ok, I get frustrated too.⠀
You’re sad? Let’s talk about what’s making you sad.⠀
⠀
Whatever their emotion, we as parents have to encourage them to feel. This allows them to cope better throughout situations in the future.⠀
🧡⠀

Did you grow up during the time of rice cereal? Maybe you’ve heard your parents mention it or they asked you if your baby has started eating rice cereal. While this isn’t wrong, times have changed.⠀
Here are some examples of what you can start your baby on when transitioning to solid food;⠀
- Sweet Potatoes 🍠 a personal favorite around our house, for everyone!⠀
- Yams⠀
- Carrots⠀
- Apples⠀
- Pears⠀
- Bananas⠀
- Avocado⠀
Plant based diets are built around starches, and children thrive off such! ⠀

Self care is incredibly important. No matter who you are.⠀
#Selfcare looks different for everyone. Right now we can’t come and go as openly as we‘d like. Yet, taking care of yourself is just as important. Your routine/schedule has been discarded, which throws people off balance.⠀
Mom guilt is overwhelming. I struggle with it still. What I have learned, and continue to remind myself is that I’m a better me - mother, wife and friend - when I set aside time for self care.⠀
Remember the saying, you can’t pour from an empty cup... now or ever.⠀

Whatever your struggles are, how you decide to push forward determines your outcome, or progress.⠀
This applies to all aspects of your lifestyle.⠀
Are you looking at your diet as a failure or a lesson?⠀
Did you lose your cool with your children or your spouse?⠀
⠀
Ask yourself why. Did you communicate your expectations?⠀
⠀
Tomorrow is a new day where you are given the opportunity to change.⠀
⠀
We are given numerous lessons in life. Learn, process and move forward with a wiser outlook.⠀

You know what they don’t tell you about having kids? That they’re f***in’ crazy!⠀
People tell you about the sleepless nights and the unconditional love. Let’s be honest, these little humans are insane, maybe even a touch bipolar?! ⠀
Yes, of course I still love them. Today I found out just how scary an ant could be. 🤦🏽‍♀️⠀
P.S. please do not come at me with the fact that they’re dealing with big emotions, how to process them, etc. I’m well aware. #motherhooduncensored #partyoffive #LivingwithLacy #nutritionistmom #nutritioninNevada

Did you know that disease is part of the aging process? It is.⠀
Did you know that you can take a proactive approach to aging? Yes, you can.⠀
Biohacking is taking steps to optimize body and brain. You do this through exercise, food and any other choice you make to improve your well being.⠀
I choose to move my body (exercise), fuel my body (eat plant based) and activate my body (nutrigenomics). ⠀
How do you biohack?

Happy Friday! I feel like my head may implode. From the moment they wake up and hit the ground running (literally), the chaos and commotion does not stop.⠀
Any big plans for the weekend?! 😆⠀
