Happy Halloween!

A lot of people get in the mindset of Halloween being a "free" day. It is very easy to get derailed.

I want to encourage you to be mindful as you move through the day. Limit your sugar intake. Enjoy but don't over indulge.

Get a workout in over your lunch hour or right after work.

Spend some time in meditation and journaling.

Just because it is a "holiday" does not mean there needs to be alcohol involved.

October is National Pineapple Month!

Fresh pineapple is a delicious and nutritious tropical fruit packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Here are some of the key benefits:

🍍Digestive Health: Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that aids in digestion. It can help break down proteins, reduce inflammation, and improve overall gut health.
🍍Immune System Boost: Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that strengthens the immune system and helps protect against infections.
🍍Anti-inflammatory Properties: Bromelain also has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce pain and swelling associated with conditions like arthritis.
🍍Heart Health: Pineapple contains antioxidants that can help protect against heart disease by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
🍍Weight Management: Pineapple is low in calories and high in fiber, making it a great addition to a balanced diet for weight management.
🍍Nutrient-Rich: Pineapples are also a good source of other essential nutrients, including manganese, potassium, and vitamin B6.

Blanching Tomatoes

In this video, Angie talks about how she freezes fresh tomatoes to preserve their flavor for use in homemade pasta sauce, chili, and other dishes throughout the winter. She demonstrates the process of blanching the tomatoes, removing the skins, and portioning them into bags for the freezer.

Today is National Child Health Day. One thing that comes to mind is Nature vs. Nurture, and which is more important. When it comes to child health, teaching positive habits to children is the cornerstone of their development. While sometimes a child's poor health has nothing to do with nature or nurture, the majority of the time teaching positive health habits has a far superior lasting effect. Here are some effective strategies to teach your children:

1. Lead by Example - Children learn by observing. Demonstrate the habits you want them to adopt. Be sure you are consistent and that your actions align with your words.
2. Positive Reinforcement - This can be through praise, privileges, or tangible rewards.
3. Set clear expectations that are age-appropriate and communicated clearly.
4. Routine and Structure: Kids thrive in routine. Incorporate desired habits into the daily routine.
5. Teach Problem-Solving
6. Encourage age-appropriate independence, and encourage a sense of responsibility for their actions.
7. Limit Screen Time
8. Open Communication - Listen attentively to your child's thoughts and feelings, and show empathy and understanding.

Finishing strong isn’t just about finishing strong because it’s been a good week, month, or year. It is about continuing to push through the challenges even if things have not gone your way.
