Are you living your best life?

As we start the new year, it’s time to take stock of how we are living our lives.

Are we truly living our best possible life? You know, a life that allows us to to do the things we love.
Spend time in areas that give us joy.
Often we don’t manage our time well, or we are overcommitted making us wish for a better life.

We have the power to change. Complete this sentence:

“If I didn’t _____________, I’d have more time to do_________”

So what are your blanks?

IT’S 2025 — NOW IS THE TIME TO LIVE OUR BEST LIVES

HOW CAN WE LIVE OUR BEST LIVES?

Living our best lives is not just about making good nutrition and fitness choices that affect our health. It’s also about how we choose to live day to day. Audrey Hepburn offered three suggestions on how to live our best lives. Her timeless wisdom touches the soul and offers a guiding light to follow.

SEEK BEAUTY IN OTHERS — When we choose to see the beauty in people, it takes a lot more than judging at first glance. Take the time to uncover the goodness in others. Doing this can lead to wonderful relationships and personal growth.

GENTLE WORDS HAVE POWER  — Words possess extraordinary power. Words can uplift or wound, we must choose carefully. When we choose kindness in our speech, it can ignite a ripple effect of positivity in both our professional and personal spheres.

WALK WITH CONFIDENCE — Confidence transcends self-belief; it’s an acknowledgment that we’re never truly alone on our journey. When we realize that countless others have confronted similar challenges, we can emerge victorious.

A slight shift in our mindset can yield monumental results in our personal and professional life. Seek beauty, speak kindly, and stride with confidence—our pathway to success and fulfillment commences with these elegantly straightforward principles.

Wishing 2025 is your best year ever!

Which is healthier?

Avocado or Blueberries?

Both AARE considered a “superfood” so we obviously can’t go wrong with either one. But it’s good to view the differences if you have specific health goals.

  1. Avocado has more protein, healthy fat (Omega 3s), and fiber, while blueberries have more carbs. An easy win for avocado here, unless you’re on a calorie-controlled diet perhaps, since avocado is also higher in those.
  2. Avocado has more of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, C, E, K, and choline, while blueberries are not higher in any vitamins. Pretty much a slam dunk here.
  3. Avocado is higher in minerals. It has more calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, and zinc, while blueberries are higher in manganese. Another win for avocados.
  4. Blueberries have about 1193x the polyphenol content that avocados do. Blueberries got the reputation for antioxidant properties for a reason; it is well-deserved!

Try adding an avocado to your salads to get more protein. Adding blueberries to your protein shakes and yogurt for healthy snacking!
How do you incorporate these snacks into your daily diet?

Fruits and Vegetables Can Help Prevent Cancer

In study after study, diets high in fruits and vegetables have been shown to lower cancer risk. Fruits and veggies are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, dietary fiber and antioxidant vitamins and minerals that have a huge impact on fighting cancer. 
Unfortunately, many conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are loaded with unwanted chemicals like, glyphosate – the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup.
Glyphosate was introduced in 1996, found to be ‘probably carcinogenic’ in 2015, and in 2019, scientists at University of Washington reported a compelling link between exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and increased risk for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Note: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to insist that there is no evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in people. That said, Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has shelled out over $10 million for current and future lawsuits involving glyphosate and NHL. 

To no surprise, eating a diet filled with organic fruits and veggies is linked with lower cancer risks. Five servings/day is optimal but even two servings/day can lower your risk by 10%. Just make sure you choose organic!

There’s nothing like waking up with GC in your cup!

Holiday or Winter Party Punch

Serving A Punch At Your Next Holiday or Winter Party?

An ice ring is a great way to get creative and decorate any punch bowl filled with fresh juice.

INGREDIENTS
  • 6-8 cups of water
  • 3 sliced citrus fruits, like lemon or oranges
  • 1 cup raspberries, cranberries and/or strawberries
  • 1 cup sprigs of rosemary or thyme

Tip: You can use any combination of the recommended garnish ingredients you’d like just by following the basic steps. You can also use a juice recipe in place of the water if you want to add more color.

DIRECTIONS
  1. Fill a bundt pan halfway with water and let it sit in the freezer for a few hours until it’s almost firm but still a little slushy.⁣
  2. Add your choice of garnishes: slices of citrus, cranberries, raspberries, or herbs like mint, rosemary, or thyme. Push them down into the slushy part so they don’t all float to the top. Then, let the fruit set for at least an hour before filling the rest of the bundt pan to the top with water.⁣
  3. When you remove the ring from the freezer, flip it onto a plate. Run warm water over the top of the pan, and the ring will pop out of the mold onto the plate.⁣
  4. Freeze it until ready to use if you’d like, or put it directly into a punch bowl and add the fresh juices and sparkling water to the bowl.⁣

An update on a traditional holiday poem

I received this from my friend Dionne Myers Taplin:

“‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the land.
Not a toxin was present; all chemicals banned.
For Santa had asked when he flew through last year
Could you please get rid of your Tide and your Cheer?
My eyes are running and my belly is itching.
I think it’s your products – would you consider switching
To a line that is greener and safer to use?
It’s all guaranteed so there’s nothing to lose.
Online shopping is simple; toll-free calling, a breeze
And it’s not just at Christmas that you get products for free.
Mrs. Claus has more energy and, ho-ho-ho, I do too.
Oligo makes sure that the nutrients get through.
Rudolph’s joints are better and his fur’s silky smooth.
He’s like family to me so what else would I use?
I’ve lost a few pounds and some of the elves did so too,
It’s not really that hard when you have the right tools.
Others may question what it is that you do.
But don’t you forget what’s important to you.
So don’t let them deter you, and please do not stop
Telling your family and friends about a great place to shop.
Helping others has value, our mission is clear.
You’ll have a Christmas of Wellness and a Healthier New Year!”

Ann Lennox Crosby, every year, I love this poem more and more.
