How to Stay Healthy Over Summer Vacation

Summer is officially here! The kids are out of school and you are likely taking a summer vacation soon. This is an easy time for our daily routines, meal plans and diets to go out the window. 

Here are a few simple ways to stay on track this summer!

1. Stick to your morning routine.

2. Start your day off right with a healthy breakfast. Make a smoothie or a breakfast bowl including protein, fat, fiber and greens. This is a great way to fuel your body first thing in the morning. Research shows that when you eat a healthy breakfast and start your day right, you are likely to make healthier choices throughout the day.

3. As the day goes on, and lunch and dinner approach, consider fueling your body. What options are going to provide your body with the fuel it needs to get through the rest of the day?

4. 80/20 Rule. If 80% of your diet is perfect for YOU, then you have 20% to play with.

5. Move your body everyday.

Favorite Pasta Substitutes

As a former carb-oholic, I love my pasta! However now as a holistic nutrition specialist and a wellness professional, I am too educated to eat plain pasta. (plus I’m gluten-free) I understand that most traditional pasta is made with enriched flour and is highly processed and full of additives. Simple is always best. 

For all my pasta and carb loving friends out there, here are a few of my favorite pasta substitutes that your body will thank you for!

Trader Joe’s Red Lentil Pasta

The only ingredient in this pasta is lentils… simple and amazing!

This pasta will not spike your blood sugar levels like many traditional white pastas do, and is full of fiber!

Trader Joe’s Black Bean Pasta

The only ingredient in this pasta is organic black bean flour… again so simple!

This pasta contains protein and is packed with fiber.  

Zucchini Noodles

The only ingredient in this pasta is raw vegetables! 

This is a great substitute if you are looking to cut back on traditional carbohydrates and increase your intake of vegetables.

You can hide these noodles under a yummy red sauce or even a pesto sauce for family in your life who may be skeptical about the new zoodles. 

All three of these pasta substitutes are naturally gluten-free, and have even passed the taste test for my gluten loving friends!

What are some of your favorite pasta substitutes?

Benefits of Detoxing

Detoxing has recently become a bad word in our culture. People are quick to make judgements and assumptions. I am here to tell you that not all detoxing is bad. In fact I love detoxing. I love fueling my body with wholesome fruits and vegetables, I love the burst of energy, the decrease in inflammation and the vibrancy I feel after I detox. Detoxing becomes “bad” when you are not consuming any vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, or essentially any food for a sustained period of time. There are exceptions to this of course, water fasting and the master cleanse have been used to help rid the body of disease and illness under medical supervision. 

I have been obsessed with green juice for over seven years now. It is a daily item on my meal plan, and something I literally look forward to everyday. Detoxing for me is just an extension of this. Finding something that makes you feel so good, down to your cellular level, and amplifying it. 

I have completed numerous detox and cleanse programs over the years, and I can tell you that not all programs are created equal. When detoxing, it is first important to determine why you want to detox. Suffering from low energy, afternoon lull, digestive problems, autoimmune conditions, or perhaps you over indulged a bit last weekend and have finally decided to clean up your act. Once you have your reason, keep this in mind, it will be your motivation to get through. Decide how long you can honestly commit to detoxing, 3,5,7 or 21 days. Pick a time period that will realistically work for you. Remember you can always extend the detox, but you never want to over commit and leave yourself feeling disappointed. Pick a detox program that works with your lifestyle and will allow you to continue living your life, preferably a real food detox.

There are many concerns clients have about starting a detox. The number one question I receive is will I be in the bathroom for the entire detox? No! Detoxing does not have to be an intense bathroom nightmare. Depending on your typical daily diet, you may not notice any change in your bowel movements.

The idea behind a detox is to give your digestive system a break, let it rest. Decrease the inflammation in your gut, and your overall body. Increase the good bacteria, and flood your body with nutrients, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. 

In my new book, Revitalize & Renew, I review the importance of detoxing, how to ease in and ease out of your detox safely. I provide you with a set by step guide to my seven day real food detox program. The best part about this detox program is that it is achievable and reasonable. You can choose to start by simply adding in 1 smoothie or juice per day, then in a week or so maybe you do a 24 hour detox, then a few months later you do 3 days etc… working your way up to the full seven days. (disclaimer: for full benefit it is recommended that you complete all 7 days) Revitalize & Renew is packed with healthy recipes and real food options. Even choosing to start slow and add 1 smoothie or juice in per day will help your body achieve a more alkaline state, and get your energy flowing!

Celery Juice: What’s All the Hype?

Celery Juice is one of the most powerful vegetable juices you can drink. I recommend drinking 16 oz of pure celery juice first thing in the morning, after your morning routine. The Medical Medium turned me onto this principle, if you have not checked out his books they are so informative!

Drinking pure celery juice first thing in the morning will increase your digestive power for the remainder of the day.

Celery is extremely anti-inflammatory and can help heal the bodies of those suffering from autoimmune conditions. These anti-inflammatory properties in celery help to eliminate bad bacteria, viruses and pathogens. 

The natural mineral salts in celery act as an antiseptic agent fighting against pathogens and helping to rid our bodies of chronic illness and disease. 

Celery has also been known to help decrease and regulate blood pressure naturally, and balance blood sugar. 

If you have been reading my blog for sometime you know that I am all about detoxing the body naturally. Celery is one of the top detoxing foods, the natural mineral salts in celery cling to toxins and help your body eliminate them. 

These mineral salts keep our body functioning at an optimum level. They are necessary for proper kidney, liver and adrenal function, and keep our gut healthy. The mineral salts in celery also act as powerful electrolytes keeping our bodies in peak performance condition. 

Our bodies function best when they are in an alkaline state. An acid state brings about disease and illness, and can lead to many chronic conditions. Celery juice, like many raw vegetables, helps our body maintain an alkaline state, preventing disease and illness. 

You are what you eat. 

Eat real food. 

Healing food. 

Cheers!

Memorial Day Picnic Favorites

Memorial Day is Monday, picnics and barbecues will be in full swing!

Here are a few of my favorite (and super easy) picnic hits!!

5 ways to get a better nights sleep…Starting Today!

According to the new Consumer Report, 27% of Americans have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep all night, and 68% of Americans have trouble with sleep at least once per week.

The numbers are high, and they continue to rise. Sleep is essential. Sleep allows our body to heal and repair our vital organs, it increases our productivity during the day, and boosts our immune system. 

Poor sleep is linked to weight gain, obesity, hormone disruption, poor eating habits, an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and depression. 

5 ways to improve your sleep starting today!

1. Turn off all electronic devices a minimum of 60 minutes before bedtime and store them away from your bed. The blue light that is emitted from electronic devices, like our cell phones is harmful and disruptive to sleep. 

2. Journal for 5 + minutes before you go to sleep. Journaling before bed allows those     lingering thoughts and worries to get out of your head and onto the pages, allowing you to have a more restful sleep.

3. Use blackout curtains in your bedroom, and switch your lights to a dimmer. This signals to your body that it is time for rest. The blackout curtains can be very helpful to block out street lights, and can help provide a deeper sleep.

4. Sound machine. Using a sound machine (even a sound machine app on your phone) can help to block out excess noise, and soothe your mind and body into a more restful sleep. 

5. Cut off your caffeine by 2:00pm, at the latest. This will allow your body to absorb and utilize the remaining caffeine before you hit your pillow.

• 3 TBSP Parmesan cheese

We are able to treat underlying issues such as food allergies, intolerances, autoimmune conditions, diabetes, cholesterol, and weight management.

Setting yourself up for a successful day

Take time each morning for YOU. 

I like to start each day early…before my family is awake. Taking this special time for just me.

I try to start the day calm & relaxed - manifesting a great day ahead!

Set your intentions for the day. 

Perhaps journal or meditate. 

For more info on meditation, check out my blog post here.

Think about what you are going to achieve that day… not in an overwhelming manner…but instead with a “yes, I’ve got this” attitude.

Think about each day being the best day of the week!

I like to make a cup of tea and then head into my home office. I light a candle or incense, and typically read a passage from Journey to the Heart, and then journal whatever comes to mind. This allows me to get any ‘stuck’ ideas out of my mind, and allows me to be open for a positive day ahead. 

Instead of getting stressed about the day, I am calm and collected. I start my day off with a meditation and quiet time, and if my day begins to get off track I bring myself back to this moment. 

How do you start your day?

Celebrating over 16 years in the fitness industry!

Did you know?

Our founder, Jennifer Khosla, has been in the fitness industry for over 16 years?!?!

Read on to learn more!

Jennifer, how long have you been in the fitness business? How did it start?

Jennifer:

I have been in the fitness industry for 16 years! I can’t believe how fast time has gone by and all the changes. I started working at the local YMCA in Northwest Connecticut when I was 16 years old. My job was to teach members how to use and adjust the many exercise machines, I had to clean the machines and monitor clients while they used them. During that time, I was available to provide exercises to members, and answer fitness questions. You may be wondering how I knew so much. I was like a sponge, I learned everything I could from trainers, DVDs, and books. I was only 3 years old when I started dance classes and gymnastics, and team sports in school began early on. I loved playing sports year round, but I found that it wasn't about being competitive. I liked the sports because I loved the feeling of being physically fit. I started working with the Athletic Trainer in my school to learn more. Eventually, I designed an internship for Athletic Training at our school for myself and future students. I knew then that I needed to find a career that would make fitness and wellness a part of my life. I have to thank my brother for giving me my first yoga mat. It was the start of something beautiful. Yoga was one of the many pieces to my education and journey of fitness and wellness.

Springfield College was the top school in the nation for sports medicine. I knew that was where I had to be to make my dreams come true. I went on to receive my B.S. in Athletic Training, with a minor in Nutrition.

I started personal training during my time at Springfield College, and actually took my first personal training course through ACE when I was only 18 years old. I have been working actively as a personal trainer now for 11 years! It’s hard to believe, the past decade has flown by! I worked as a personal trainer in Boston for several years while furthering my nutrition education, and later decided to combine all my passions into one total wellness business. 

California here I come! I wanted to get my yoga certification at one of the leading yoga studios in La Jolla, California. I trained with some of the top Yogis in the field. This was important for me personally as well as for future clients.

I have worked in several gyms, private training settings, yoga studios, and owned two fitness and wellness businesses in New York and currently now in Florida. I officially opened Lean and Green Body® in 2015, and now lead a team trainers, coaches and fitness & wellness professionals here in Naples. We are a growing national brand with clients in Florida, New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Minnesota, Georgia, and California. We currently see clients in their home, community gyms in Naples, Florida, or at our studio on 5th Ave S in downtown Naples, host weekly yoga classes at our studio and live stream, as well as see clients nationally through live stream technology.

It is amazing how far I have come professionally in the last 16 years! I could never have imagined my career what it is today, and I am grateful for this journey everyday! My clients and my team continue to push me daily to be the best leader in wellness and fitness that I can be. This is only the beginning for me and Lean and Green body®.

Balance

It can be difficult to make it all happen… and make it look effortless.

Run your household, run your business, go from meeting to meeting all with a smile on your face. It’s not always easy. Honestly, I am 100% living my dream. (somebody pinch me)

I am married to an incredible man, who is very successful in his own right, I run a thriving business that is growing by the day, and live 3 blocks from the beach. Amazing! (again..pinch me)

Even though this is the dream for me, I have been working hard for this life for over 30 years. It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day that we (I) forget to appreciate how freaking amazing life is! We tend to get caught up in the rise and grind, the hustle of the daily life. Which for women can be very overwhelming at times. We are ingrained to have a do-it-all mentality.

That is why it is so important to find balance. Without some sort of balance in our lives, it is very difficult to make it all happen. 

We have to find time for our families, growing our career, taking care of our home, grocery shopping, cooking and meal prep, working out (regardless of what people say you are judged on how you appear)… oh, and wait… time for us. Why does that always come last? Why don’t we prioritize ourselves into that list? As women, why is it that we naturally put everyone before us? Are we not that important?

We are! I always tell my clients (and myself) that if we do not take care of ourselves, we can not take care of everyone else. 

This is where finding balance comes in!

Finding balance in your own life can be as simple as waking up an hour earlier to have solitude and quiet time for yourself. Or taking the dog for a beach walk after work. It can be meeting up with girlfriends for happy hour, or even taking the time to date your spouse. 

However you choose to find your balance, I honor you. It is never easy, but I promise it will be worth it.

This will carry you through the rest of your day!

Follow Up On Our New Years Resolutions

It’s March 5th, and many of us have long forgotten our New Year’s resolutions and promises to ourselves. Happens every year. It’s okay! You still have time to make big changes this year. My advice: START small! At the beginning of every month create a list of goals or desires for the month. Add your personal touch to the list. Perhaps draw, sketch or add some color to the list! Think, what will inspire you to reach these goals? I know personally looking at a typed black and white list of goals is not inspiring for me. I need color and a bit of excitement. 

So take a few moments now to create your list, perhaps 6-10 goals for the month of March. 

These goals can be anything from….

• Leave 5 minutes earlier for work

• Take the dog for an extra walk in the evening, the fresh air will be great for both of you.

• Take 20 minutes everyday just for me!

• Eat more greens

Now think and create!

After you create your list, think where you would like to hang it. Some place prominent that you will see several times per day. Make a point to read and review the list several times a day, and create a plan on how you will make these goals happen. You can do this!

Benefits of Oil Pulling

Oil pulling has recently become a hot topic with my clients and friends,  so I have decided it was time to write a blog post about it. There are several reasons (see the list below) why oil pulling has become increasingly popular over the past few years.

Our oral health is so important, it is the first step in our digestive process and our teeth are the jewels on our face. I don’t know about you, but teeth are always one of the first things I look at when I meet someone. 

Oil pulling is when you put approximately one tablespoon of coconut oil (sesame or sunflower oil work too) in your mouth and swish…similar to what you would do with mouthwash. It is recommended that you swish the oil for twenty minutes and then spit it out. 

The coconut oil will absorb any undigested food particles, bacteria and toxins in the mouth so it is important that you do not swallow it!

There are several benefits to oil pulling, and clients often report they notice the positive effects immediately. 

Benefits of Oil Pulling

Less Dry Skin

Enhanced Immune System

Pink Healthy Gums

No Bleeding Gums after Flossing

Enhanced Digestion

Improved Hormonal Issues

Relief from Migraine Headaches

Less Joint Pain

Eliminates Bad Breath
