Healthy Goodies I’m digging…
I wanted to share a few awesome healthy goodies on my radar right now…
#1 Activated Coconut Charcoal
Charcoal been shown to reduce oxidative stress (linked to a number of chronic diseases) and lower levels of lipids, cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood (Bulletproofexec.com). I talk about it in this blog. But lately, I’ve been using it to whiten my teeth! Activated Coconut Charcoal binds to plaque, making it an effective whitening tool. All I do is open the capsule and pour some of the charcoal on my toothbrush with water. Then, rinse and enjoy the results. Recently, my parents asked me how my teeth were looking so white… I told them my secret and now they are hooked, too!
#2 Unfair Advantage
Taking Unfair Advantage before teaching fitness classes for 2 hours gives me more energy and mental clarity. Unfair Advantage is a safe, nootropic with no caffeine or other stimulants. It’s a way to supercharge your mitochondria through a cellular nutrient called pyrroloquinoline quinone – commonly known as PQQ (Bulletproofexec.com). To put things simply, PQQ can clear up your brain fog and give you clean-burning energy.
#3 NoBlue Blue Blocking Sunglasses
Too much blue light from the sun and electronics can suppress melatonin production, potentially causing you to take longer to fall asleep and to not sleep as deep. Blue light before bed may lead to you not feeling completely rested the next day, even if you got enough sleep. If you like to work on your computer, scroll through Instagram (add me!), or watch tv before bed (all things I enjoy…), consider wearing these sunglasses. Yes, you will feel dorky wearing sunglasses inside and at night, but I’ve certainly noticed it takes me less time to fall asleep when I wear them a few hours before bedtime.
#4 BluePrint Watercress Warrior Juice
Finally, there is a green juice that is not loaded with sugar and still tastes good! BluePrint has come out with a new flavor (Watercress Warrior) that contains 5 grams of sugar (fructose), while most juices contain 15-25 grams!
