⁣
✅How to do it:⁣
You lean back, raise your legs off the ground, and twist your torso from side to side. Form a V-like shape, bracing your abdominal wall to engage your core.⁣
⁣
❗️The Russian Twist is not recommended after the first trimester and 6 to 8 weeks postpartum. This sudden twisting can put a lot of pressure on your abdomen, especially if you had a c-section.⁣
⁣
But one you body has healed you can start doing this exercise. Russian twists are an exercise that is easy to modify to your fitness level. You can start with body weight with heels on the floor. Progress with heels up, and when that become to easy you can include weights like dumbbells or baby ☺️⁣

You may think of vitamin C when you think of these citrus fruits, and that's a big reason it might help your anxiety. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Some studies have shown that a diet rich in it may help calm you and put you in a better frame of mind. Also just smelling orange can do the same. But of course, eating orange has more benefits than just smelling it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Oranges are full of vitamin C, which lowers cortisol and blood pressure while also giving the immune system a bit of a boost. According to the University of Maryland, large doses of vitamin C have been proven to reduce both physical and mental responses to stress.⁣⁣

⁣⁣
By some estimations, the scent of orange may reduce stress by more than 70%. Yet, having ripe orange slices on hand may not always be the most practical option for those of us with busy schedules. Using essential oils in your diffuser is therefore be a good alternative for getting an uplifting whiff of citrus during a long commute, for example.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So either you love to eat orange or just smell it you are on a good way to reduce your stress!

Last but not least, eating fermented foods such as 𝐘𝐎𝐆𝐔𝐑𝐓 can help to keep your gut healthy, which actually, in turn, will help to improve your mental health and reduce stress levels. ⁣⁣

✅Including yogurt and other fermented food in the diet can benefit the natural gut bacteria and may reduce anxiety and stress. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Fermented foods include cheese, sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir and fermented soy products. While not all of those foods necessarily have the live, active cultures that some yogurts contain, they still have the potential to contain good bacteria.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
❗️But when you buy yogurt at the store, you have to be careful with the amount of sugar inside because most of the yogurt products contain too much sugar, especially low-fat products.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, don't be lazy to read nutrition facts. I am personally buying products that have less than 5g sugar on 100g of product.⁣⁣

Yogurt is rich in nutrients and may boost your health when consumed regularly. It may help reduce the risk of some diseases while also benefiting digestive health and weight control. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
However, as I said, make sure to choose your yogurt wisely. It is best to stick plain yogurt, and you can add your fruit or vegetables by yourself.

When cutting back on unhealthy foods in your diet, it’s important to replace them with healthy alternatives! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
⬇️⬇️⬇️⁣

✅Replacing dangerous trans fats with healthy fats, such as switching fried bacon for grilled salmon or grilled chicken, will make a positive difference to your health. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝘉𝘜𝘛⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⛔️Switching animal fats for refined carbohydrates, such as switching your breakfast bacon for a donut, won’t lower your risk for heart disease or improve your mood.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
So keep that in mind: eat more healthy fats and try to avoid refined carbohydrates! If you love to eat bacon for breakfast like me, you don't need to stop eating; just not overdo it and try to eat more veggies with bacon!

Happy National Pet Day 💞💝💜💕

Leafy, green vegetables should be a pivotal part of anyone’s diet. Along with helping combat stress, leafy greens are full of nutrients and antioxidants, which help fight off disease and leave your body feeling healthier and more energized. ⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣
🆒Dark leafy greens, for example, spinach, are perfect for you since they are rich in folate, which helps your body to produce more mood-regulating neurotransmitters such as serotonin, which is a ‘feel-good’ chemical. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
🆒The magnesium in Swiss chard and other leafy veggies helps balance the body's stress hormone, cortisol.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦: asparagus, broccoli, citrus fruit, Brussels sprouts, and garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas). Yum! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✅Low in calories yet high in fibre, vitamins, and phytonutrients, greens are incredible for your health in more ways than you would even suspect. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
✅Whether in whole food form, smoothies, or organic greens powders, greens have the power to make you look and feel younger and can even support healthy ageing!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Make sure to eat plenty of vegetables every day, including plenty of raw varieties: eating produce in its natural form is even better for boosting mood and reducing depressive symptoms. ⁣⁣⁣
