People of character do the right thing, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse to be changed by the world
It is in the realm of uncertainty that fulfillment is found
Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think
Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you. Be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

The New You on the 4th of July!!!!!

We've been working on ourselves and getting down to the nitty gritty with who we are from the inside out. Getting more energy, changing our attitudes when low and behold the 4th of July holiday is here and there will be picnics and all sorts of yummy food......And I know what will happen to me!!!! I will go for those chips and dip. I will eat the hotdog...okay maybe two. But do you know what will happen afterwards....BLOAT!!! I will sit the rest of the weekend feeling bloated and discouraged....and if you are like me you will too! Here is what I learned:

SODIUM

We all know sodium as just table salt. But did you know its in just about everything. When you eat sodium, the excess sodium is deposited just beneath the skin where it attracts water, which is retained in your cells. This makes you look puffy and feel bloated. But don't let this get you down. You can avoid the dreaded bloat! Here are a few tips to get you through the 4th of July bloat:

  • Read labels to check the sodium content of what you're eating.
  • Replace processed foods with fresh.
  • Avoid prepackaged and canned foods.
  • Be wary of salt-laden condiments and use very little soy sauce, mustard, and table salt.
  • Go easy on dairy, and avoid processed meat (hot dogs, jerky, bologna, corned beef), anything pickled (pickles, capers, sauerkraut), relish, ketchup, and butter.

There are many sodium free alternatives that will let you enjoy your food just the same: garlic, lemon, olive oil, vinegar, pepper, basil, cayenne, chili powder, cilantro, cumin, curry, dill, garlic powder, ginger, lemon, lime, mint, onion powder, oregano, paprika, parsley, rosemary, sage, tarragon, and thyme.

HAVE A HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!
