Here are a few tips to help you adjust healthy habits this summer: 

Eat Right to Feel Right

The summertime is a great opportunity to take advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables by integrating them into your smoothies, salads, and snacks. Summer foods, such as watermelon, cucumbers, berries, and bell peppers taste great and are slam-packed with nutrients for energy and H2O for hydration. 

The NeoraFit Weight Management & Wellness Set is a great supplement to your daily diet because it can help you shed those unwanted pounds and keep them off. The NeoraFit System uses the most advanced weight loss ingredients that turn your body into a fat-burning furnace morning, day, and night. Just add Slim + Skin, Block + Balance, and Cleanse + Calm to your favorite beverages or sprinkle on foods to balance your digestive system, flush toxins and send your metabolism into hyperdrive around the clock.  

Hydrate to Accelerate

The hotter weather means it’s easier to lose more water than we take in. If our bodies aren’t getting enough water, we can experience uncomfortable health effects, including cramping, dizziness and fatigue. Staying hydrated keeps your body temperature regulated, controls your blood pressure, and delivers oxygen to your cells. According to the National Academies of Sciences Institute of Medicine, men should drink around 13 cups of fluid a day and women should drink nine. 

If those intense workouts have you feeling a little depleted, try mixing in Youth Factor® Superfood & Antioxidant Boost Powder into your water bottle to replenish your body with vitamins, antioxidants, superfoods and enzymes needed for peak performance and recovery. Youth Factor also defends against damaging free radicals and balances pH levels for optimal health. 

Energize With Exercise

There is nothing more beneficial for your health than daily exercise. We all have busy lives, but if you can find at least 30 minutes a day to keep your body moving, you’ll drop that unwanted weight and get a more toned body to show off at your next pool party. Early workouts are a great way to start your day and you can beat the heat, too. You can take advantage of the cooler temps with a morning jog, a bike ride, or yoga outdoors.  

If you want more strength training added to your routine, try bodyweight exercises like push-ups, squats, and lunges—or you can use go-anywhere resistance bands and light weights. These will help build lean muscle and boost your metabolism. Daily workouts can also set a positive tone for the day and can also give you a sustained burst of energy. 

A Happier, Healthier You

With any health and fitness routine, consistency is key. Whether it’s enjoying fresh foods or enjoying the outdoors, the summertime is the best time to look and feel your best. Just add Neora’s natural Wellness and Weight Management products to your daily regimen to keep your total body health a top priority.

The Influence of Emotions on Physical Health

Have you ever noticed how your emotions can affect the way you feel physically? The mind-body connection is a two-way street, where our emotions can have a direct impact on our physical health. Stress, for instance, can manifest itself in various ways, from tense muscles and headaches to digestive issues and compromised immune function. When we experience negative emotions like anger, fear, or sadness, our bodies respond with a cascade of physiological changes. On the other hand, positive emotions such as joy, love, and gratitude can have a healing effect, promoting relaxation, improving cardiovascular health, and boosting our immune system. Taking care of our emotional well-being through techniques like therapy, journaling, gentle yoga, and engaging in activities that bring us joy is crucial for maintaining optimal physical health. 

The Power of Positive Thinking

Our thoughts have an immense influence on our perception of the world and can shape our experiences. Positive thinking goes beyond mere optimism—it’s about cultivating a mindset that empowers us to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace. Research suggests that positive thinking can have a profound impact on our overall well-being. When we approach situations with a positive mindset, we tend to have lower stress levels, improved immune function, and better coping mechanisms. By reframing negative thoughts, practicing gratitude, and focusing on our strengths, we can harness the power of positive thinking to create a ripple effect of well-being in both our mind and body. 

Practices for Mind-Body Harmony: Yoga and Meditation

Yoga and meditation have been practiced for centuries and are renowned for their ability to enhance the mind-body connection. Yoga, with its gentle movements, breathwork, and focus on mindfulness, helps us become more in tune with our bodies. It increases flexibility, strength, and balance while promoting relaxation and reducing stress. The deliberate integration of movement, breath, and mental focus creates a harmonious union between the mind and body. 

Similarly, meditation is a powerful tool for cultivating mindfulness and deepening the mind-body connection. By bringing our attention to the present moment and observing our thoughts and sensations without judgment, we can develop a heightened awareness of our body and the subtle signals it provides. Practicing meditation regularly has been linked to reduced stress, improved emotional well-being, and increased resilience. It can help us tap into our inner wisdom, fostering a sense of calm and equilibrium. 

The mind-body connection is a fascinating realm waiting to be explored. Understanding the influence of emotions on our physical health, embracing the power of positive thinking, and integrating practices like yoga and meditation into our lives can lead to a profound transformation in our well-being. By nurturing our minds and bodies in harmony, we unlock our true potential and embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. Take a moment each day to tune into yourself, appreciate the intricate connection between your mind and body, and embrace the beauty of this remarkable synergy. 

Our needs change not only with the seasons but also with our cycles. It can seem daunting to adjust your routine and diet four times a month, but like anything, it gets easier with practice. And the benefits far outweigh the effort it takes to live in harmony with your cycle. 

In this blog, we’ll explore the different stages of the menstrual cycle and provide exercise options, dietary tips, ways to work with your cycle, and tips for effectiveness at work during each phase. 

Menstrual Phase: 

During the menstrual phase, hormone levels drop, leading to the shedding of the uterine lining and the start of your period. It’s essential to listen to your body during this phase, as energy levels can be lower, and discomfort may arise. Gentle exercise options that focus on relaxation, stretching, and light movements can be beneficial.  

Try activities such as: 

• Yoga or Pilates: These practices promote flexibility, reduce cramps, and enhance relaxation through gentle movements and deep breathing. 
• Walking: Engaging in low-intensity walks can boost circulation, relieve bloating, and improve mood without placing excessive strain on the body. 
• Light strength training: Incorporate resistance training using bodyweight exercises or light dumbbells to maintain muscle tone and support overall strength. 

Dietary Tips:  

Focus on foods rich in iron, such as leafy greens and lean proteins, to replenish lost nutrients. Include anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric and ginger to help reduce cramps and discomfort. 

Work Tips:  

During this phase, prioritize self-care and allow yourself sufficient rest. Plan your workload accordingly, aiming for tasks that require less physical and mental exertion. Take breaks when needed, practice mindfulness, and ensure you stay hydrated. 

Follicular Phase: 

The follicular phase occurs after menstruation and lasts until ovulation. Hormone levels, particularly estrogen, start to rise, providing an energy boost and improved focus. This is an ideal time to engage in activities that enhance endurance, aerobic capacity, and overall performance.  

Consider the following exercise options: 

• Cardiovascular exercises: Jogging, cycling, swimming, or dance workouts can help improve cardiovascular health, endurance and mental clarity. 
• High-intensity interval training (HIIT): Incorporate short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods to enhance fat burning, stamina, and overall fitness. 
• Group classes: Joining group fitness classes or team sports can be a great way to stay motivated, engage socially, and challenge yourself physically. 

Dietary Tips:  

Include complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables to support sustained energy levels. Additionally, focus on incorporating foods rich in B vitamins, magnesium, and antioxidants to help combat potential mood swings and support overall well-being. 

Work Tips: 

Leverage your increased focus and energy levels during this phase to tackle complex tasks, brainstorm ideas, and engage in collaborative projects. Set ambitious goals and plan your schedule accordingly, as you’ll likely have the mental stamina to accomplish more. 

Ovulatory Phase: 

The ovulatory phase occurs when an egg is released from the ovary and typically lasts around 24 to 48 hours. Estrogen levels peak during this phase, increasing energy, motivation, and the desire to connect with others.  

Opt for exercise options that enhance power, agility, and social engagement: 

• High-intensity workouts: This is the time to push yourself physically. Engage in challenging workouts like sprints, circuit training, or kickboxing to maximize your power and strength potential. 
• Dance classes: Channel your charged-up social battery and confidence into dance classes like Zumba or hip-hop, which promote coordination, self-expression, and fun. 
• Partner exercises: Engage in activities that involve teamwork, such as partner yoga, doubles tennis, or rock climbing, to foster connection and enhance motivation. 

Dietary Tips:  

Consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fatty fish or chia seeds, to support brain health and reduce inflammation. Additionally, prioritize foods with a high water content to stay hydrated and support optimal hormone function. 

Work Tips:  

Leverage your enhanced communication skills and confidence during this phase to build relationships, network, and collaborate. Engage in presentations, team meetings, and negotiations, as your ability to articulate ideas effectively is heightened. 

Luteal Phase: 

The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts until the start of your next menstrual cycle. Hormone levels, including progesterone, rise during this phase, which may lead to increased fatigue, bloating, and mood fluctuations. 

Opt for exercise options that promote stress reduction, stability, and gentle movement: 

• Low-impact exercises: Engage in activities like swimming, walking, hiking, cycling, or using an elliptical machine to minimize joint stress while maintaining cardiovascular fitness. 
• Yoga and meditation: These practices can help reduce stress, improve flexibility, and promote a sense of serenity and stability. 
• Strength training with lighter weights: Focus on higher repetitions and lighter weights to maintain muscle tone without placing excess strain on the body. 

Dietary Tips:  

Emphasize foods that stabilize blood sugar levels, such as complex carbohydrates and protein-rich sources like legumes and lean meats. Additionally, include foods rich in calcium and magnesium to support muscle relaxation and combat premenstrual symptoms. 

Work Tips:  

During this phase, concentrate on tasks that require attention to detail, organization, and planning. Take advantage of your analytical and focused mindset to complete administrative work, financial tasks, or strategizing. 

Women are cyclical beings. Our needs, energy, focus, and hormones all fluctuate like the seasons. By aligning our exercise routines, diet, work strategies, and self-care practices with the different stages of our menstrual cycle, we can enhance our physical performance, improve our overall well-being, and maximize our productivity.  

Remember to listen to your body, honor its needs, and adapt your approach accordingly. Embrace the power of your menstrual cycle, and let it become a guiding force toward achieving your health, fitness, and professional goals. Your menstrual cycle can either be a burden or a superpower.  

Protein is an essential macronutrient that is necessary for the growth, repair, and maintenance of muscles, bones, and other tissues in the body. Women require an adequate amount of protein in their diet to support various physiological functions and maintain optimal health. The amount of protein that women need per day can vary based on several factors such as age, activity level, and overall health status. 

The Bare Minimum 

According to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) set by the Food and Nutrition Board, the recommended daily intake (RDI) of protein for adult women is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day. This means that an average sedentary woman weighing 65 kg, or 143 pounds, would require 52 grams of protein per day. However, this is just a general guideline, and the actual protein requirements of an individual woman may differ based on various factors. 

Individual Protein Needs 

Age is a significant factor that influences protein requirements in women. During different stages of life, the body goes through several physiological changes, and protein needs may vary accordingly.  

Pregnancy & Lactation Protein Needs 

For instance, during pregnancy and lactation, women require higher amounts of protein to support fetal growth and milk production for their growing babies. The RDI of protein for pregnant women is 1.1 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, while lactating women require 1.3 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. 

Age Factor 

Similarly, as women age, the body undergoes changes that can impact protein requirements. Older women may require higher protein intakes to maintain muscle mass and bone density. The International Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a daily protein intake of 1.0-1.2 grams per kilogram of body weight for women over 50 years old to reduce the risk of fractures. That’s about 65-78 grams of protein for a 145 pound woman. 

Activity Level 

Activity level is another important factor that affects protein requirements. Women who engage in moderate to high-intensity physical activity or resistance training require more protein to repair and rebuild muscles. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a protein intake of 1.2-1.7 grams per kilogram of body weight for active women. 

Heart Health 

Getting enough protein in your diet is imperative to heart health. One study showed that women who ate more protein, about 110 grams per day, were 25% less likely to suffer from heart disease than those who ate less protein, about 68 grams per day. 

How to Get Enough Protein 

While meeting protein requirements is crucial for optimal health, many women may struggle to get enough protein from their diet. Incorporating protein-rich foods in every meal is an excellent way to ensure adequate protein intake.  

Good sources of protein include: 

• Lean meats 
• Poultry and fish 
• Eggs 
• Dairy products 
• Legumes 
• Nuts 
• Seeds 

Women who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet can obtain protein from plant-based sources such as:  

• Soy products  
• Quinoa 
• Lentils 
• Beans 

What about supplements? 

In addition to whole foods, protein supplements such as whey protein, casein protein, and plant-based protein powders can also be useful in meeting protein requirements. However, it is essential to choose high-quality supplements from reputable brands and consult a healthcare professional before using them. NeoraFit Plant-Based Protein Powder is a great source of protein and an easy way to supplement your protein intake to hit your protein goals. 

The amount of protein that women need per day can vary based on age, activity level, and overall health status. While the general guideline is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, women may require more or less depending on their individual needs. Incorporating protein-rich foods in every meal and using high-quality protein supplements can help women meet their daily protein requirements and maintain optimal health. 

What Is It?

The therapy involves exposing the body to extremely cold temperatures for a brief period of time, usually through the use of a cold shower, ice bath or cryotherapy chamber. While the idea of exposing oneself to such low temperatures may seem counterintuitive, research has shown that cold exposure therapy can offer a wide range of benefits.

What Are the Benefits?

One of the primary benefits of cold exposure therapy is its ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation has been linked to a number of serious health conditions, including heart disease, cancer and autoimmune disorders. By exposing the body to cold temperatures, cold exposure therapy can help reduce inflammation, which can in turn help prevent the development of these conditions.

Reducing inflammation can also improve overall skin health, with cold exposure therapy proving to be an effective treatment for certain skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.

Another benefit of cold exposure therapy is its ability to improve cardiovascular health. Cold exposure causes the blood vessels to constrict, which can help improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. This can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions. Endurance levels and overall physical performance can also benefit. When exposed to cold temperatures, the body produces more adrenaline and norepinephrine, which can help increase energy levels and improve overall physical performance.

Mental health may also get a beneficial boost. Cold exposure has been shown to help reduce feelings of stress, anxiety and depression, and have a positive effect on overall mood. Many people report that starting their day with cold therapy shocks them awake and makes them feel more alert. Not to mention, it’s likely the most uncomfortable part of the day so everything else seems easier in comparison!

Cold therapy has also been shown to aid in weight loss by boosting the body’s metabolism. In order to maintain homeostasis in cold temperatures, the body expends a lot of energy – read: burns fat – to keep the body warm. One study showed that metabolic rate (metabolism) increased by 350 percent. Yes, 350 percent! I had to read it three times to be sure.

It’s important to note that while cold exposure therapy can offer a wide range of benefits, it is not suitable for everyone. People with certain health conditions, such as Raynaud’s disease, should not participate in cold exposure therapy. Start slowly, and with guidance, to allow the body to adapt to the cold temperatures.

How Can I Start?

The good news is, starting cold exposure therapy is incredibly easy and basically free. While there are amazing cold plunges that you can purchase out there – the easiest place to start is with a 15 second to 3 minute cold rinse at the end of your shower. When you’re done cleansing, turn the water to cold and step out. Once the water is cold, step back in. You can use a timer to measure your progress and gradually increase your time.

If you’re looking to try cold exposure for the weight loss and fat burning benefits, try starting your day with 500 milliliters to one liter of ice water. Drink it pretty quickly and go about your morning. This makes me physically shiver so I actually enjoy doing some sort of exercise immediately afterwards to warm up.

Another easy way to implement cold exposure into your life is by placing an ice pack on the back of your neck and shoulders while watching TV or working at a computer.

Cold plunges or ice baths are another great way to try cold exposure therapy. It’s recommended to do these in groups for safety, especially if you’re trying a cold plunge for the first time or if the water is deep enough to be potentially dangerous. If you have a pool, you can take daily 20 minute cold plunges or swims. There are many DIY versions of ice baths, including filling your bathtub with ice, and options to purchase temperature controlled cold plunge tubs. If you live near natural cold water sources, start your day with a cold dip in nature.

Cold exposure therapy is a simple yet effective way to improve overall health and well-being. By exposing the body to cold temperatures for a brief period of time, cold exposure therapy can help reduce inflammation, improve cardiovascular health, boost mental health, aid in weight loss and even improve certain skin conditions. While it’s not suitable for everyone, it is an alternative therapy that has been gaining popularity in recent years backed by scientific evidence. So, is it worth trying? I would vote, yes.

However, as thoughts turn to warmer weather (and fewer clothes!), many of us revisit our resolutions, galvanized by the desire to feel more comfortable in our own skin. At the same time, we may be afraid of losing steam again.

All of which begs the question: How can we make sure our resolutions stick this time? It all comes down to balance.

Let’s take a closer look at how a holistic approach is a key to maintaining fitness resolutions — and overall health and wellness.

Resolutions Roundup: What Are Your Goals for Spring?

Is weight management your goal for spring? Maybe your goal is to work on incorporating more exercise into your everyday life and adopt a healthier sleep schedule.

Perhaps you’re interested in eating more nutritious foods, embracing anti-aging behaviors related to hydration to skincare, or having more energy for your everyday activities.

While all these goals may seem very different on the surface, the reality is that they all go together. If you focus on one of these things without acknowledging the others, you will likely fall short of the goals you set for yourself.

On the other hand, if you recognize the interconnectedness of these healthy behaviors, you’ll not only be more successful in achieving your resolutions this spring, but the process will be easier, too.

A Holistic Approach to Fitness Goals

Let’s backtrack a bit to one of the goals mentioned earlier, which is a common goal for many people – weight loss.

By now, most of us are aware of the many benefits of maintaining a healthy weight. From controlling cholesterol levels and regulating blood sugar to preventing diabetes, arthritis, and other diseases, weight management is about much more than looking and feeling good.

Yet despite the undeniable importance of weight management and despite our best efforts with implementing weight loss routines, it’s a struggle for many people. This is because long-term weight management doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Rather, it happens within the context of overall healthy habits comprising all aspects of wellness.

For example, restricting calories without prioritizing adequate nutrition and hydration will deplete you of energy, while implementing an exercise routine without also committing to a regular sleep schedule potentially leads to fatigue. In both of these scenarios and countless others like them, the changes being made are not sustainable.

So what is sustainable? Incorporating all of these elements into a daily routine for a healthy body and mind.

Improving Daily Routines: The Key to Overall Health

Every day you wake up to a blank slate. The best way to make the most of it? Formulate a realistic plan that not only makes it easy to get your day off to the best start, but will also help you power through all your other goals.

That’s where Neora’s comprehensive line of high-quality synergistic health and wellness products comes in.

Our Plant-Based Protein Powder is formulated with a wide variety of clean plant-based proteins, containing all the functional fuel you need to maximize your nutrition for the day. When you start your morning with a delicious protein powder smoothie, you’re not only loading up on 20 grams of protein (that will boost your energy levels and help you feel fuller for longer), but you’re also laying the foundation for healthy lifestyle habits throughout your day – especially if you pair it with other Neora wellness products.

The more energy you have and the better you feel, the easier it will be to keep moving toward your goals of getting fit and healthy for spring. Rather than veering off track as you may have in the past, you’ll propel yourself forward. In addition to getting your “summer body,” you’ll see many other improvements as well — from better sleep to more radiant skin.
