Dealing with stress is a normal part of life. Sure, it's not the most fun thing in the world, but it's something we all have to learn to live with. No amount of self-care will stop stress from happening. The key to successfully managing stress lies in the way we choose to react and manage it.
Stress can wreak havoc on your hair, skin and nails but it's more than meets the eye. Being stressed out can slow your digestion and make it harder for your body to absorb essential vitamins and nutrients. Cortisol levels also rise when we are stressed. Both cortisol and a lack of proper nutrients can pose problems for our appearance. Combine the two and you're just asking for grey hairs!
Hydration for children is more important than you think! Many of us may not be aware that children are more susceptible to dehydration than adults.
Children have a higher requirement of water in relation to their bodies than adults. This is because they are more vulnerable to dehydration in hot weather and/or when exercising. So good hydration for children is essential to enable their body and mind to function at full capacity.
Children may not remember to drink water or fluids by themselves, so it is important for adults to provide ways to encourage a regular intake of fluid.
So how do you get your kids to drink more water?
If you’ve ever felt like there is just not enough time in the day to workout, you’re not alone.
Many of us lead a hectic lifestyle that leaves very little time to unwind, let alone exercise; yet, we’re constantly being bombarded with pressure to achieve a certain fitness level or body weight.
In fact, up until recently, it was thought that in order for exercise to “count” it had to be at least 30 minutes, and even that’s on the short end. This kind of rift between your reality and the end goal can make it challenging for anyone thinking about starting a journey toward better health.
Habits are good for you. They help streamline your day by making certain activities almost automatic. But along with good habits, we all have bad habits as well and those can be tough to break.
A few habits we've seen people crushing in the Water Warrior group this week include: eating ice cream or playing on the phone right before bed, drinking soda, smoking, putting off chores.
If you’re wanting to crush these habits and live life to the fullest check out these ways to quit below!
There are so many reasons to add collagen to your diet! Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies and is responsible for the elasticity of our skin, bone & joint strength, gut health, the strength of our nails & hair and soo much more!
It's often referred to as the "glue that holds us together". Our bodies naturally produce it, but starting around our mid-twenties, our natural production starts to decline (hence the signs of aging). So by adding collagen to your diet, it can help restore the collagen in your body and reverse/slow down the aging process.
