Spring is in the air. With spring often comes a renewed commitment to healthy living. Here are some quick tips for a healthier you this spring. You are what you eat. Focus on simple, unprocessed foods that are rich in nutrients-like Hemp Hearts raw shelled hemp seeds. Hemp hearts taste great, are easy to use, and sooo good for you. Get moving! Walk, bike, jog, rollerblade, do yoga,try a new exercise, or join a sports rec league. Instead of rewarding yourself with a sugary treat, try a replenishing smoothie loaded with protein and good fats. Hemp protein is a complete plant based protein packed with omegas. Included in hemp food’s omegas is the rare GLA, which helps with inflammation & muscle recovery. Balance your stress levels. Combat stress with foods rich in magnesium- Mother Nature’s muscle relaxant. Studies show that the majority of people are not getting adequate amounts of magnesium. Luv your tummy- referring to digestive health of course! Your overall health is linked to digestive health. A healthy diet includes 25-30 grams of fibre per day. Make adding fibre easy by throwing in some Hemp Pro Fibre ® to baking recipes or your favorite smoothie. One serving of Hemp Pro Fibre ® is equal to 52% of your RDI of fibre. Plus, you are also benefitting from protein and omegas- and whatever else you are putting into the smoothie.
