Taking a blog break

Hello,

I am taking a break from posting here for a while. I will be streamlining my social media posts - for now, you can find all my updates, health information, recipes, etc. on my Health Connection Facebook page. 

In addition, if you would like to be added to my monthly newsletter, please message me with your email address, or enter your contact info here and I will reach out to you. 

There is still a lot of good health information on this blog, so I am not shutting it down. Feel free to check it anytime and to search for what you may be looking for. Share with your friends as well.

Thanks for all your support, and for reading my blog! I may be back at it someday! Time will tell.

Do you know what to eat anymore?!

Are you confused about all the conflicting nutritional advice out there? Dr. Chaney can help clear it up for you! "Can a healthy diet be high in meat protein and low in carbohydrates? Are diet sodas really healthier? Is the gluten-free diet the answer to health problems?" Watch this 18 min interview to find out some answers!

Host Frank Stasio speaks with Steve Chaney, Professor Emeritus in the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics at UNC Chapel Hill, about his new book, 'Slaying the Food Myths: The Truth Behind the Headlines.' ​If you want to know more, you can purchase the book and/or subscribe to his blog here.

Health & Wellness News: Celebrate Women’s Health

Celebrate Women’s Health!

It’s never too early or too late to work toward being your healthiest you! This National Women’s Health Week, May 14–20, is a great time to empower all women to make their health a top priority.

Women often serve as primary caregivers for their families, putting the needs of their spouses, partners, children, and parents before their own. As a result, women’s health and well-being can become secondary. National Women’s Health Week brings together communities, businesses, government, health organizations, and other groups in an effort to promote women’s health. So remind all the women in your life to be sure they are taking care of their own health along with all the other people they care for.

Build health by building healthy habits

National Women’s Checkup Day is May 8. Follow these tips to help stay your healthiest.

GET PREVENTIVE SCREENINGS. Visit a health care professional to receive regular checkups and preventive screenings. Important screenings for women include an annual physical, blood pressure test, and screenings for cervical cancer (pap test), cholesterol, and thyroid function. Starting at age 50, women should get screened for breast cancer every one to two years. And after menopause, women should get a bone density test to be screened for osteoporosis. Don’t forget to ask about nutrition screenings. You don’t have to guess if you are deficient in vitamin D or B12.

GET ACTIVE. Regular activity is one of the most effective strategies for maintaining a healthy weight. Regular physical activity helps to improve your cardiorespiratory (heart, lungs, and blood vessels) and muscular fitness, helps with mood, and can help reduce your risk of cognitive decline. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity daily. An example would be brisk walking—activity that raises your heart rate and during which you could talk but not sing. Also aim for strength-building (resistance) exercise 2-3 days per week.

EAT HEALTHY. Eating healthy isn’t really that difficult—and the health payoff is incredible. To reduce your risk of chronic diet-related health issues:

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables—at least seven servings per day. Smoothies can be a delicious way to increase your fruit & vegetable intake.
• Eat whole grains, such as whole wheat, oatmeal, and brown rice—and avoid white grains
• Eat lean proteins, including fish, skinless poultry, lean red meats, dry beans, and eggs
• Cook primarily with monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil, and limit fried food
• Limit saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and excess sugars
• Drink alcohol in moderation—for women, that means no more than one drink per day
• Take dietary supplements to close remaining nutritional gaps
• Save $50, get Free Shipping (up to $20) & a Free Membership on this Healthy Women's Pack until 5/18/17. 

GET ENOUGH SLEEP AND MANAGE STRESS. Try to get a good night’s rest every night. Adequate sleep makes you more productive and energetic—this means 7–8 hours per night. Develop a sleep routine that includes limiting computer screen time at night. Recognize the signs of stress and take action to address it. Focus on controlling what you can, and let the rest go.

AVOID UNHEALTHY BEHAVIORS. Smoking, texting while driving, not wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet, and other unhealthy or unsafe habits can severely damage your overall health.

Most of us go many days between trips to the doctor, a fact that makes it clear that we must take day-to-day responsibility for our health. Whether it’s pushing ourselves a little harder at the gym or calling our doctors to make sure we’re up to date on our screenings, we can all truly make a difference—not just for ourselves, but for all the people we love.

Summer Peach Life Energizing Shake is here!

Life Energizing Shake is a delicious, protein-rich soy meal shake with nutrients clinically proven to help create the foundation for a longer, healthier life. With delicious flavors to choose from, Life Energizing Shakes help keep you feeling full and satisfied. Also available in Plain & Simple vegan soy and soy-free varieties.  

Designed to:

• Increase your energy
• Help you retain lean muscle and achieve a healthier weight
• Support digestive and immune health
