In July's edition of O magazine there is an article with an MD named Toni Bark. It's a great article that includes a variety of smart things that you can do for your body.
Here are my favorites:
- Make the perfect summer salad. Bark's favorite: heirloom lettuces, wild arugula, and fennel. Shave raw beets into the greens and add fresh berries or ground cherries, avocado, and something crunchy like cucumbers. Dressing: 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 large clove garlic pureed together in a blender until creamy. Top with walnuts or sunflower seeds.
- Eat an energizing breakfast that include both protein and fat.
- Eat Low Glycemic Foods like whole grains, nut butters, dark leafy greens, grass fed meats & poultry, fish. Please note though that not all low GI foods are healthy.
- Find a fun way to exercise. (do an exercise that you enjoy)
- Get More Sleep.
I hope you are enjoying summer, it's amazing that we are entering August already! Enjoy it!
Peace to you!
