My Top 10 Health Hacks

Here is how you can optimize your health and benefit from applying these hacks into your everyday life!

1. Brain Fog – Experiencing brain fog throughout the day and struggling to get work done? Try eating quality protein sources such as grass fed red meat or eggs. It will control your blood sugar levels and provide additional vitamins to your brain!
2. Controlled Nerves – Feeling stresses or anxious? Breathe through your nose! Take deep breaths and slow exhales. The oxygen you inhale will enter your cells to help you feel more relaxed.
3. Loosen Tight Muscles – If a specific muscle feels tight, don’t just stretch that muscle directly, stretch the opposite muscle group. Example, if your upper back is tight, try stretching your chest through throacic extension.
4. Weak Muscle Fix – Feeling weak or fatigue? Chances are your sodium levels might be low. Try taking a pinch of sea salt with a glass of water. In some cases, sodium deficiency can link to weak muscles (dehydration).
5. Feeling Down – Waking up in the morning and getting sunlight for 5-10 minutes can boost mood and improve your sleep cycle!
6. Quality Sleep – Diming the lights and removing any electronic devices an hour before bed can produce melatonin and improve sleep quality!
7. Zone 2 Cardio – Performing 150-200 minutes of low-to-moderate intensity cardio and drastically improve physical and mental health!
8. Brain Function – If you are looking to sharpen your brain and memory, taking omega 3’s or eating fatty fish can improve your brain function/health!
9. Cold Showers – The benefits of cold shower can include improved metabolism, better mood, faster recovery, better sleep, and focus.
10. Resistance Training – No matter what age you are, weight training has proven to be quite effective in not only physical health, but the way you feel and look! I recommend resistance training at least 2-3 times a week.
