Last month, I had the opportunity to attend a wonderful event which consisted of a variety of outdoor workout classes organized by @turf_nb at the beautiful @veanewportbeach. π
The best workout of all, according to experts, is simply whichever one you enjoyβbecause thatβs the one youβll actually do. π
Any consistent workout is better than none. Doing what you like will promote consistency. People tend to do consistently what they enjoy. π
The key is figuring out which exercise youβll actually do. Try something else, something fun, something youβve always wanted to do or maybe once did but for various reasons stopped doing. π€
When it comes to fitness, working out in group settings can boost motivation, burn more calories and make exercise fun. Group fitness classes are my favorite, thatβs why I love @turf_nb. πͺπΌ

The healthiest diet is a Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) Diet ππ±
WFPB diet includes:
whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and small quantities of nuts and seeds.
It excludes refined foods, like added sugars, white flour, and processed oils. Emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods and avoids animal products.
The more whole plant foods consumed, the less heart disease and cancer.
WFPB Diet protects against:
Heart disease
Diabetes
Hypertension
Obesity
Cancer
A WFPB diet is healthier than eating a standard vegan or vegetarian diet. However, it is far healthier
than the American Standard Diet.

Halloween 2023 was a lot of fun. I had many events to go to and dressed up in 3 costumes. In the US, Halloween really symbolizes the start of the holiday season.
Did you know many people tend to gain some weight during the period between Halloween π and Christmas π , often referred to as the βholiday seasonβ? This can be attributed to various factors, including the abundance of festive π and indulgent food π, reduced physical activity due to colder weather π₯Ά, and the increased number of social gatherings and parties. π₯
To prevent excessive weight gain during this time, consider the following tips:
1. Maintain a consistent exercise routine.
2. Make healthy food choices at holiday gatherings.
3. Practice portion control and mindful eating.
4. Limit excessive consumption of sugary and high-calorie treats.
5. Stay hydrated and drink water between alcoholic or sugary beverages.
6. Prioritize quality sleep to support your metabolism.
7. Manage stress, as it can lead to emotional eating.
8. Set realistic goals for maintaining your weight during the holidays.
By adopting these habits, you can better manage your weight and enjoy the holiday season without significant weight gain. β
Are you one of those people who tends to gain weight during the holiday season? π Do you have a plan this time around to avoid those extra pounds? ππΌ
Avocados contain 25 essential nutrients. Avocados increase the bodyβs ability to assimilate nutrients, which make them a great addition to green leafy salads to ensure proper absorption of all the vitamins and minerals. π₯π₯π₯
I use leafy greens as the base for most of my salads because they have the most bioavailable protein available for humans. Not only that, but leafy greens help reverse all protein related diseases (gout, kidney disease, gallstones etc), which are caused from animal protein sources not breaking down or assimilating to the body. π₯¬π₯¬π₯¬
πI am so excited to partner up with Purity Woods! π±I am always been asked what skin care and beauty products I use and I have finally found one that I am able to recommend to everyone. π
πWhat I love about @puritywoodsinc is that all products are formulated with USDA certified organic ingredients. I donβt know about you, but I have been looking for a very long time and havenβt been able to find another certified organic cream. π
πJust like with food, to carry the USDA certified organic label, products must meet the USDAβs strict standards and undergo rigorous inspections by authorized certifying agents. β
πThe skin is the biggest organ in our body and it is important to apply the right ingredients to stay healthy.π§΄
