Did You Know
- Spices and herbs are rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants that work as anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, and anticarcinogenic agents. They also have properties that can lower the risk of diabetes and high blood pressure, strengthen the immune system, and promote good bacteria growth in the gut! Spring is a great time to start your own herb garden!
- Don’t underestimate the impact of stress! Chronic stress can lead to long-term consequences such as poor mental health, cardiovascular disease, obesity, eating disorders, menstrual irregularity, sexual dysfunction, skin and hair issues, and gastrointestinal issues.
- Did you know increasing your daily step counts is linked with decreased risk of all-cause mortality? You might have heard the recommended step count is 10,000 steps per day, but research suggests that might not be the most optimal goal. One study suggests a goal of 8,000 steps might be more appropriate. Even so, this can still sound daunting. Just remember to take it one step at a time by setting realistic goals for yourself.
