6/26/19 Newsletter: Being Healthy Is Causing Stress

Setting goals for ourselves when it comes to our health can be incredibly empowering. But, living healthy can be daunting when it means juggling all your daily to-dos. We can easily become so stressed out about how much progress we are making toward our ideal picture of health that we ultimately compromise our health. How’s that for irony? If you catch yourself feeling more agitated than uplifted more often than not, pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Consider realigning your goals and don’t forget to give yourself credit for what you are doing. Take pride in the small wins you have each day. You’ve got this. [Swirled]

Life Hack Of The Day: Hydrating Coffee Edition

If you’re looking for a new way to hydrate, try this simple idea. Adding coconut water to your morning cup of coffee not only brings the hydrating benefits of the water, but it also adds a lightly sweet flavor without any sugar or artificial sweeteners. It’ll taste like you’re of a vacation — even if you’re just sitting at your desk. 

Health

One of the drawbacks about getting older is that your metabolism isn’t quite what it was when you were a kid. But we’ve got some foods that you can incorporate into your diet to give you that added boost including hot peppers, seaweed and green tea. And go ahead and order that sushi now. Fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon and tuna, help you balance blood sugar, reduce inflammation and rev up your metabolism. [Swirled]

Career + Finance + Tech

Being hyper-connected and answering messages and emails immediately is the norm, but it’s also exhausting. And, it’s stealing your focus and peace of mind. Unless something is super important, don’t feel the pressure to instantly react, because in that haste you may end up committing to something you just can’t do. Even with 24/7 accessibility, feel free to take your time and react on your schedule. [Greatist]

Food + Drink

Did you know that rinsing your dishes before adding them to the dishwasher could be the reason they’re not getting squeaky clean? Crazy but it’s true. Nowadays dishwashers have sensors to monitor the amount of food debris on dishes, and dish soap (like Cascade) rely on food particles to cling to so it can scrub your dishes. So don’t worry about that caked-on cheese, it’s actually ok. [Curiosity]

Recipe Of The Day: Add a splash of flavor to fish, chicken or even steak with a sweet and spicy fresh salsa. Combine diced pineapple, cucumber, jalapeño, red onion with some cilantro, olive oil and the juice of a lime. Season with salt and black pepper and serve. [Nom Nom Paleo]

A quick tip from yours truly: Try swapping in mango or peaches for some or all of the pineapple.
