GABBY Shares The Importance of a Positive Mindset

Summertime! The time for fun and sunshine! In addition to making our day literally and figuratively brighter, sunshine has a cool benefit. Remember how we’re currently doing a video series about eating healthy on the go?Well, it’s important that we be eating healthy foods that help build our bones. What does this have to do with sunshine? Hang in there with me. I’ll get to that- According to Mayo Clinic “you only have one chunk of time when you can build up your bones with calcium and vitamin D that’s the first 30 years or so of your life. Once you reach 30 your body stops building new bone. After that you can only maintain the bone strength you already have. The best way to add calcium and vitamin D is by eating well balanced meals not by taking supplements.”So ladies, you are in a critical time In your life where you are still building and creating your  bones. And trust me, you want them to be healthy and strong. AND not only will you appreciate healthy bone development now, but trust me, you’re 60, 70 and 80-year-old self will also thank you because you are taking  care of yourself now.Listen to the entire podcast to learn how you can increase the vital nutrient, Vitamin D into your body and into your daily routine.

Introducing Teen Advisory Board Member Analei

Hey Girls!Wanna know how you can boost your beauty, health, and emotions? While we&apos;re on the subject of healthy eating on the go- and especially in reference to our previous two videos about salads- we want to provide some practical 411. This episode piggy backs on our previous podcast episode and we feel that between these two episodes, you’ll have the foundation you need for lifelong health- if you implement them, of course! I&apos;m your host, Alexa James. In our previous podcast, I gave you heads up that we would be talking about green stuff. Wanna guess? And no, we’re not talking about money today.  However, we do you plan on having a nice lineup of episodes about money- so make sure you subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss out! In this episode, we talk about being rich with your health. The best currency you can feed your body to make it as healthy and beautiful as possible and to eat as many greens as possible. So what do I mean by greens? I’m talkin&apos; romaine and bitter lettuces, kale, watercress, escarole, endive, broccoli, greens like: collard, mustard carrot and turnip, spinach, arugula, cabbage, green onions and garlic, bok choy, sprouts, baby greens and micro greens, Napa cabbage and Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, asparagus, celery, chives, artichokes, okra, leeks, fennel, zucchini, cucumber and green bell peppers when their peeled and seeded, and herbs like basil, mint, cilantro and parsley.And  don’t forget that lovely fruit, avocado.The Most beneficial greens are the leafy -ones and the darker the better. And you can eat them raw, cooked, juiced, powdered, and in your favorite smoothie or homemade açaí bowl. There are even brands out there that are adding veggies to their ice cream and mac & cheese. The beauty, health and emotional benefits you get from greens should encourage and challenge you to get creative with those greens and get them into your diet as much as possible.Follow us at: www.ChikChat.com/Bloghttp://www.Instagram.com/ChikChathttp://www.Facebook.com/ChikChatSupport the show (http://www.ChikChat.com)
