🤩Monday Motivation & Meatless Monday Tips 🙌🏽

❤️‍🔥 Monica Sancio The Abs 🧠 Gut Coach from the INSIDE Out ❤️‍🔥 Master Your High Vibe 🤩🙌🏽

Hello, my friends I missed you so much! My September Birthday, taking more care of my doggies, and some vacations... Here I am, ready to give you my best ENERGY, as in MASTER YOUR HIGH VIBE! Monday is my favorite day of the week, because it's like a fresh start, but some of us don't like Mondays, because it's having to go back to work, to school, and to activities that seem less fun. Well, when you design your life the way you want to live it - like I do, and I help you do - you actually love most days... And you really don't need vacations from living the way you want to... And when it comes to exercising, working out, eating healthy and practicing the daily disciplines for your best health... It's great to have a boost of motivation at the start of the week. So honoring the famous hashtag Monday Motivation, here are 3 tips: 1) DO IT ANYWAY: Meaning, don't wait to feel motivated, seriously. It rarely kicks in when you think of going to the gym or practicing at home. And my favorite definition of discipline is when you do it, even when you don't feel like it. 2) WARM-UP: Not just to avoid injury is it important to start off with lighter intensity, but it eases the way to the harder parts of your routine. And most probably, you will feel that boost that will get you in motion. 3) MAKE IT SIMPLE: When it comes to eating more plant foods, I recommend and make videos of practical nutrition: like coconut milk, lentil sprouts, brown rice as staples. So that it becomes easier to add on to that... And since it's also Meatless Monday, it's a great opportunity to start off where you are, making one change at a time. Maybe one new recipe at a time, and one meal at a time. For instance, just start eating more fresh fruit, or more seeds and nuts. And try to include beans or lentils every day. Not only are they delicious and filling, but they really help you prevent all that is not great health... Fruits and vegetables provide us with fiber, vitamins, minerals and plant compounds, which are thought to be responsible for many health benefits. Observational studies show that higher fruit and vegetable intake is linked to a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and some brain disorders (6Trusted Source, 7Trusted Source, 8Trusted Source). Increased fruit intake is also linked to lower blood pressure, reduced oxidative stress and improved blood sugar control (9Trusted Source, 10Trusted Source). One review found that for each daily portion of fruit or vegetables consumed, the risk of heart disease decreased by 4–7% (11Trusted Source). Beans and Legumes Experts believe that the high soluble fiber content and the wide range of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in beans and legumes may help reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers (17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source). Eating one serving of legumes like beans, peas and chickpeas each day has been linked to 5% lower LDL cholesterol levels and a 5-6% lower risk of heart disease (20Trusted Source). Nuts and Seeds Nuts and seeds are high in antioxidants, minerals and healthy fats. They have been associated with a reduced risk of early death, heart disease and diabetes (21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source). One review found that 4 weekly servings of nuts was linked to a 28% lower risk of heart disease, and 22% lower risk of diabetes (22Trusted Source). Whole Grains Whole grains contain many valuable nutrients, including fiber, B vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium and selenium. Whole grain consumption has also been associated with protection against cancer, heart disease, diabetes and obesity (23Trusted Source).
