Throw Back Thursday

By Nicole Simonin

It’s Throw Back Thursday here at SIU…

and my take on TBT is more about what you couldn’t do before that you can do now.

Here’s this week’s TBT:

One of my private clients, Carol received a TBT yesterday when she ran at 8mph!  She was really hesitate about doing this as I clicked the 8mph button on the treadmill. But she attacked it and was able to run at 8mph! Way to go Carol!!

I think a lot of times we hold back and think “oh, but I can’t do that?”…

Instead of discounting it…how about you give it a try? Because whatever it is that you think you “can’t” do you might just surprise yourself as to what you CAN do.

What can you do now that you couldn’t do before?

I wanna know!

Want To Be Healthier?

By Nicole Simonin

Woman eating healthyWomen who are venturing into their midlife can increase their chances of staying healthier long into their 70’s by increasing their intake of flavonoids (as sited from research from Harvard School of Public Health).

What are flavonoids you ask?

Flavonoids are plant-based compounds found in fruits and vegetables such as berries, grapes, celery, etc. These powerful antioxidant foods have been shown to lower the risk of many chronic diseases but it wasn’t clear if flavonoids could help you stay healthier later in life.

The results of a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition  indicated that higher intakes of flavonoids during midlife are associated with better odds of being healthier as you go into your 70’s.

Add these foods to your meals to possibly help you live a healthier life into your golden years:Oranges, berries and other flavonoids

  • Celery
  • Parsley
  • Citrus peels
  • Oranges
  • Orange juice
  • Berries
  • Onions
  • Broccoli

 

 

The Air Diet

By Nicole Simonin

Okay, I would like you to hold your breath (start now)….hold it….hold it until you cannot hold it anymore….now let it out…notice what you do immediately after…

(please, do it again if need be).

You took a long deep breath.  This is the “air diet” very similar to binge eating and starving yourself.  You can only hold your breath for so long.  You can only deprive yourself of food for so long until you eat everything in sight.

A restrictive diet is unrealistic and sets you up for failure.  Give yourself a choice.  Prevent binging by eating those small treats in moderation.
