New Year’s Resolution: Health!

Is your New Year’s resolution to take better care of yourself and your loved ones this year? Eat better? Exercise more?

Larry and I always do our utmost to take care of our health. Some of our personal choices are to eat loads of organic vegetables, and to completely avoid processed foods, meat, dairy, refined sugars, and grains.

When it comes to making wholesome food and lifestyle choices, we can all use a little help and inspiration. Here’s a shout out to four of the websites that we find most uplifting and motivating. Hopefully they will embolden you to make your own healthy choices:

Dr. Mark Hyman is an American physician (M.D.) and New York Times best-selling author. His motto, “Your fork is the most powerful tool to transform your health,” really speaks to me and Larry. Dr. Hyman is dedicated to tackling the root causes of chronic illnesses and not just simply masking the symptoms. On his website he has articles, meal plans, recipes, and a podcast called The Doctor’s Farmacy (not a typo!). I am also looking forward to the release of his newest cookbook, “Food – What the Heck Should I Cook?”

Meghan is the most adorable health guru we know. She is the owner of an online school she created called The Academy of Culinary Nutrition. She totes herself as the head cheerleader of your life, and that is indeed what it feels like! She is warm, funny, vibrant, and down to earth. She puts out a wealth of amazing articles, and also has a super cute and informative podcast she does with her husband Josh, who is a Functional Medicine Practitioner. (A  husband and wife working team – fancy that! ?) We love Meghan and Josh.

New York Times Bestselling author Elana Amsterdam founded Elana’s Pantry, the website for easy, healthy, grain-free, Paleo recipes, in 2006. She is a healthy lifestyle guru and her approach is no frills and informative. Her recipes are simple and tasty, and I personally love that she is very organized. In her newsletters she tends to stick to one subject at a time, so they are easy to read and not overwhelming if you are short on time.

We love this free online magazine. Each newsletter features three easy-to-read and understand articles about breakthroughs in the wellness field as well as healthy relationships, exercise plans, and recipes. We often use it as a steppingstone to uncover new blogs and books in the healthy lifestyle realm.  They also have a paper magazine subscription at charge for those of us who prefer holding the actual magazine in our hands. 

And the thing that we feel is MOST important to your health – be happy. Do what you love. Spend time with people you adore. Laugh. Pamper yourself. And listen to good music ?.

Wishing us all a healthy and happy New Year!
