Good, bad, or ugly.

As we age, it’s vital that we tap into our wisdom and experience. You can go get all the gadgets and equipment you want, but until you’re ready to sit with what’s in front of you, nothing is gonna change.

You’ll remain strapped to your habits and more unkind whispers in your head. Then, your heart has to deal with life as you beat yourself up over not being enough.

Sounds familiar, huh?!?

I want you to pause for a moment. Before you sit down at the table, give yourself a hug! If you have a mirror around, smile and tell yourself you’re beautiful. Then, it’s time to dine with wisdom!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Dine with wisdom!

If you don’t start putting yourself first, you will always be putting yourself on hold. Take AIM. You deserve to treat yourself better. Kindness goes a long way, and it starts there.

Here are three things you can do to dine with wisdom:

1. Plan Ahead:
– Create a weekly meal plan that balances nutritious meals and snacks.
– Prepare healthy ingredients in advance to reduce the temptation of ordering takeout or grabbing processed foods.
– Consider meal prepping on weekends to have healthy options readily available during busy weekdays.

2. Choose Mindfully:
– Pay attention to your body’s hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating.
– Opt for whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
– Practice mindful eating by savoring each bite, chewing slowly, and enjoying the flavors and textures of your food.

3. Stay Hydrated:
– Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day to support digestion and overall health.
– Limit sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal teas, or infused water for hydration.
– Incorporate hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens into your meals to increase your water intake.

***Try drinking a whole lemon every day. Drinking lemon water daily can offer several health benefits, including boosting your immune system with vitamin C, aiding digestion, and promoting hydration. It may also help prevent kidney stones and potentially support weight loss efforts.

By incorporating these simple yet effective strategies into your daily routine, you can make smarter choices that nourish your body and support your well-being.

Remember, you deserve to prioritize your health and make choices that align with your goals for a healthier and happier you. Start dining with wisdom today!
