BACK TO SCHOOL HEALTH TIPS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

BACK TO SCHOOL HEALTH TIPS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s Back To School time for the kids which means it’s back to routine for many parents. The summer tends to be filled with BBQ’s, activities, cottaging and camping and routine tends to go out the window. Most mom’s notice that their energy, sleep and healthy dietary choices tend to be “off” in the summer and sometimes this can bleed into the beginning of Fall. The start of the school year can also be very stressful as routine. Try adding in these 4 Back To School Health Tips For Moms because it’s true what they say…Healthy Moms = Healthy Families.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. De-Stress: Stress and it’s hormone cortisol can really throw a wrench in a healthy living goal. High levels of cortisol over time can cause exhaustion, weight gain, sleep disruptions, sugar & salt cravings and depress your immune system. Try carving out 5 minutes of your day to practice the art of deep breathing. Deep breathing has been shown to help reduce your overstimulated stress response and turn on the calm and relaxing aspect of your nervous system. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Make A Plan: Meal planning can be one of those tasks that just seems daunting for most moms, especially when dinner time can be so chaotic when you’re running your little ones or teenage ones to and from activities. Sometimes we get into the habit of stopping at Tim Horton’s or getting pizza as they are quick and easy options. This is totally fine to do sometimes, but should be incorporated as a treat and not as a staple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Get Some Zzzz: Set a bedtime for yourself just as you do your kids. It’s important to get good quality sleep so you can stay focused, motivated and energetic all day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Mom Time: It’s easy to get caught up in the care taker role! It’s important to remember to take care of yourself as well! Make a list of 10 Things that make you happy/inspired and cared for and keep the list handy. Try and choose at least one activity a week!

Introducing my new obsession....... MICROGREENS!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@Ortalizafarms just opened in Kingsville this year and they have over 50 varieties of micro greens...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The greens are harvested only 10-15 days after being planted which gives them more nutrient density and a lot more flavour!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been putting them on quite literally EVERYTHING⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Sandwiches⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Wraps⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Burgers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Pizza⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Smoothies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Eggs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱Pasta.... you name it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are so many varieties to choose from and they taste delicious😍

Your behaviours during the day, and especially bef

Your behaviours during the day, and especially before bedtime, can have a major impact on your sleep. Certain habits can either promote healthy sleep or contribute to poor sleep.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sleep Hygiene is a combination of practices and habits that can help you maximize your sleep quality. To start to enjoy nights full of blissful zzzz’s, assess your sleep habits and see where you can optimize your sleep hygiene practices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 1: Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day sets the body’s “internal clock” to expect sleep at a certain time night after night. Try to stick as closely as possible to your routine even during self-isolation and on weekends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 2: To boost your nightly slumber, think about how to improve your ideal sleep environment. To achieve such an environment, you may need to add or adjust the following:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💤Add in “white noise” or use ear plugs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💤Use heavy curtains, blackout shades, or an eye mask to block light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💤Keep the temperature comfortably cool between 15 and 22°C⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 3: To support melatonin levels, try setting a screen time curfew 1 hour before bed and maybe reading a good old fashioned book instead of watching TV.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tip 4: Regular exercise and movement are essential to support a restful nights sleep. However, try and avoid vigorous exercise 3 hours before bed time. Vigorous exercise can be very stimulating and again, reduce our sleepy hormone melatonin.

Does this sound familiar? You wake up in the morni

Does this sound familiar? You wake up in the morning only to realize that you’re still tired. You eat a quick breakfast because that’s all there’s time for. You drink a gallon of coffee to stay alert and focused and try to get some work done while also watching your kids. Then it’s time for lunch, where you’ll either skip it, forget it or pick off your kids plates. Mid afternoon comes, your energy feels at an all time low so you drink more coffee and have a muffin to keep going. Then it’s dinner time, sleep routines for the kids and now you just want to sit on the couch and watch Netflix. But you’re just exhausted,…or were you exhausted all day? Energy is one of those key symptoms and the body’s way of telling us that something isn’t right. But what is it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.... Join my Healthy AF* Facebook group to talk all things energy, learn about your specific energy archetype and understand how to best care for your energy needs!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
