FEBRUARY is American Heart Month AND Black History Month
I want to highlight a great documentary that is valuable for all to watch: They’re Trying To Kill Us. It’s free during February. If you watch it, let me know what you think.
Valentine’s Day and the F Word
Show your kids some love this February. Here are two things your family can focus on to boost your health and spread the love!
- Focus on FIBER and how to include that in what they eat throughout the day. Foods that are naturally high in fiber also have the highest “nutrient density”. This not only helps general health and well-being, it contributes to brain health (better academic success!). HERE is a great handout on fiber in foods.
- Gratitude: A regular gratitude practice helps stimulate our “feeling good” neurotransmitter hormones. HERE is a great handout with daily practices that help strengthen our relationships.
You can never be too young to begin heart health practices!
