Fun Fact of Eggs!!

Recently, I was at the store and a woman whom I had no idea who she was ( someone who worked there ) kept saying that EGGS were a DAIRY PRODUCT, common misconception by the public.  The misconception comes from the eggs being kept in the dairy section of the super markets.  Dairy products come from a mammary gland and chickens don’t have those.  Eggs are a protein that have been pasteurized so they require refrigeration. ( US Law requires this to be sold in stores it removes any contamination the egg might carry like salmonella etc ) . If you buy fresh local eggs and the farm doesn’t wash them, there is no reason to refrigerate them until they are washed. ( most people wash there eggs so that actually can break down the shell so the actual egg isn’t protected any longer to the best of the shells ability)  Additionally did you know that its generally 45 days after the egg has been produced that you see it arrive in the grocery stores, that eggs can been used up to a month after the exp

Positive Relationships

The older I've become, the more and more I find this valuable in my own life.  I've met so many people on so many different journeys in life, some of them have influenced me positively, some negatively, and some a mix of both.  A positive relationship is about mutual respect.  If you cannot respect the other person then the relationship is null and void.   I realize that this is all normal and a very common growing pain for most young adults.  I find that in life people are put there to teach you something about yourself.  For example: while I was growing up and through my twenties, most of my friends and I are no longer close. It doesn't mean we're not friends, it just means that over time we've grown apart and its no longer necessary or realistic to talk to them on a daily basis.  This is all part of life and growing and it is completely normal to (at one point or another) feel alone in life when you're really not alone at all.  Most of the people in my life

Natural Sleep Cycle

Most of Americans don’t sleep nearly enough as they should.  All of us humans have these wonderful things calls TV, cell phones and computers to keep us up till all hours of the night.  Im a person who needs a ton of sleep to get anything done, literally I nap in the middle of the afternoon daily for about 20 minutes not a lie.  Our brains go a million miles a minute, jumping from one thing to another on websites, emails, video games ect.  When we’re not on the computer its the cell phone or the TV.  All of these things create a light within them and this light messes with our natural sleep rhythms.  Sleep is just as important as eating properly, they actually go hand in hand. Sleeping is one of the things that has proven data that helps people loose weight and keep it off.  Most people get a second wind through out their day as well for me its about 6 PM since I get up rather early and by 730 Im ready to unwind for the night.  Though I watch TV before bed Im laying down and Im unwind

Is Health Coaching for You?

Recently people ask what I do as a health coach.  To put it simply I teach people how to live a happy, healthy, balanced lifestyle.  I then often get the question but HOW after this.  In sessions we discuss things like career, relationships, goals for the future, spirituality, Physical Activity and also eating habits just to name a few.  This generally starts out with a Health History form you fill it out and we discuss it at a later date, then we decide if health coaching could help you in your own life.  Making small changes in your life to create the balanced lifestyle you’d like to have My main goal with health coaching is to bring happiness, healthy balanced lifestyles to each person I come in contact with.  So if you think health coaching is for you or your interested in hearing about more and unlocking you’re own key to health and happiness please feel free to contact me.   Keep It Positive in 2016 Healthandwellness624@gmail.com Please allow 24 hours for a response!
