 Are you paying attention to the importance of ESSENTIAL MICRO NUTRIENTS?
For decades we’ve obsessed over the perceived holy-macro trinity of Proteins, Fats, and Carbs and we’ve overlooked essential Micro nutrients. This is shown to be detrimental to our overall health and well-being. In this article we zoom in on:
 Is your body 'aging' faster because you're nutrient deprived?
Nutrition experts weight in on the essentials nutrients we need to ensure we are getting enough. Getting older doesn't need to mean deteriorating when you are well nourished. Our nutritional needs change as a result of numerous factors including our current state of health, present diseases, digestion - nutrient absorption ability, our regular activity levels and more. This is unique to each individual however according to The Health in Aging Foundation the list below comprises the most commonly occurring nutrient deficiencies in older adults.  The conversation within!
Questions to provoke you into a paradigm shift and behavioral change! What would you say to someone who speaks to themselves the way you speak to yourself? What would you say to someone who speaks to you the way you speak to yourself? Have you ever really contemplated this? I mean really taken time and reflected on the conversation you carry on with yourself? Once you do ask yourself this.. Is it something I’d repeat out loud? Would I let any one of my loved ones say this to me? With mindfulness and meditation initiatives ever on the rise let's take a good look at self-talk.  2020 dietary trends and practices you will hear more and more of as 2020 rolls on.
Do you ever notice how the old becomes new(s), becomes old, becomes new… as history goes? It’s been said most all we experience is recycled. When it comes to diets, Lord knows this is true. Sure it may seem like a brand new diet with the adept marketing experts repackaging skills yet when you strip away the smoke and mirrors so to speak, the truth is revealed. It’s the same old, same old. Here is what you need to do...  Ever hear people say 'that's what happens as you getting older, get used to it" when dealing with a health challenge, debilitating aches or chronic pains? Do you believe getting older means falling apart? Who told you this and is it really true? Maybe its time to tell ourselves a new story about ageing! And to learn from those defying these societal beliefs! Pro-ageing, Anti-ageing! Ageing with grace! I am all for this. The buzz words vary yet the common goal is ageing with a quality of life that allows us to do all we want to do free of diseases, chronic pain and limited abilities. For decades we've been told over and over and over that with ageing comes inevitable deterioration. We hear repeatedly "everything goes downhill after 50" or "get used to those sore joints, it comes with ageing" or you'll need glasses when you get older. "We degenerate as we age." Those beliefs/stories have been imprinted into our psyche and you likely know, if you believe it to be true it will be. What if there is something you can do? Something that is being done in various parts of the world where centurions are both common and living active, able lives? STUFFED MUSHROOMS, MARTINIS and PARTY TRADITIONS Every year for the past 13 or so years I host a special party called Martini Magic to a group of long time friends. I’ve added a few to our guest list each year for I’ve been accurately called a people collector. Ha ha, yes I am one of those souls that chats to most everyone anywhere and loves to bring people together. This particular party is tapas and cocktails focused as you may have suspected and there have been years where I’ve offered 8+ various Martini concoctions to choose from. (Once a bartender, always it seems.) It’s a wee bit crazy to manage, yet I am an innate host and rarely sit still at parties. If you need help at party, invite me, you'll see what I mean. Besides great food and drink at my parties, our eves always include a rousing game of some sort and it seems my friends get more and more outrageous as the years pass. Wisdom and wise-ness as we age, oh yes I trust this to be true along with older and more eccentric. (Oh to laugh at oneself and have friends close enough to laugh at each playfully too).
 Are you plagued with out of control cravings for certain food or drink? Does it feel like you have zero control over them? To discover what they might mean read on and gain strategies to deal with these challenges. We’ve all been there. It comes on strong and it can be relentless and have you extremely motivated, agitated and even relentless to respond to it ASAP. What is it you ask? Why it’s the infamous craving and no you don’t need to be expecting to experience it. You know what I am talking about don’t you? WELL DID YOU KNOW THIS? Each of us has food tolerances in our body and no, this is not a typo – I do mean ‘tolerances’. These have developed over the years from the foods we regularly eat that are highly processed, acidic and toxic to overall well-being. These foods react in our body like a drug.

Around me, a wall of windows show case the beaming sun and brilliant recent snowfall, a humming buzz of conversations, the intoxicating smell of grinding coffee beans, good music playing… can I focus? Hell no! Almost immediately as I settled, a flood of memories triggering tangible feelings of light-heartedness set in. I’m reliving sitting with my sister in a Nashville coffee shop after some holiday shopping. A carefree, smile on my face sensation seeped in and the longing to be in that mode at this very moment high-jacked my emotions. Then I am off day dreaming and it's not related to work at all. Imagine that!
