Walk, bike, run, dance, anything that gets your feet moving and your heart pumping is crucial to your well-being.
- Alkalize your body. Things like coffee, sugar, soda, and alcohol can be acidifying to the body. Drink a fresh green juice or green smoothie regularly to alkalize your system. Leafy greens are highly alkaline and help bring the body back to a pH-balanced state. This is extremely helpful when the body is overly acidic from too much sugar or partying a little too hard. Matcha green tea is a fantastic alternative to coffee. It is high in antioxidants, contains cancer-fighting catechins, boosts energy levels, and contains high amounts of l-theanine which enhances your mood by increasing serotonin levels.
- Relax & unwind. Take a detoxifying Epsom salt bath with 10 drops of pure lavender essential oil to relax the body, relieve muscle tension, and reduce stress. Lavender oil triggers brain reactions that promote relaxation.
