The more colourful your plate with REAL food the more nutrients there are. ... Soups are an amazing simple way of preparing nutrient dense food. -red watercress -spinach -carrots -garlic -leeks -green onions #soup #foodisthymedicine #plantbased #antioxidants #healingfoods

There are ways to limit and prevent stress levels from getting away from us. What is your stress level??? #meditation #keepingstressdown #mindfulness #breathing exercises

A little bit of crazy.... Haven’t been out for a run in the winter snow in years and I almost did not go. Happy I did. Sometimes we have to push ourselves out of our comfort zone.... Beautiful sunshine and fresh air did me a whole lot of good. Got to love that Canadian weather eh!!! #stayactivestayfit #sunshine #vitamind #outofmycomfortzone #covidsports

POSTURE With more and more people obliged to work from home pain in the upper back, shoulders and lower neck have become a common recurrent complaint at the office. Home offices were not adapted to the prolonged sitting. Kitchen tables became makeshift desks.... Proper ergonomics is essential to alleviating the stress on the spine and muscles in these areas. How good is your posture? #mindyourpostirre
