Day 6 of Heart Health Challenge
Day 6: Stress Reset Day : Protect your nervous system Here's a few things we can do daily to help reduce stress and calm our nervous system: - 10 minutes deep breathing - Prayer/meditation - Journaling - No-phone evening ( I really need to try this) - Early bedtime Stress increases our cortisol levels & chronic cortisol elevation contributes to: - Hypertension - Belly fat - Elevated glucose - Inflammation Stress management is heart and whole-body protection.

Really need to work on separating myself from my phone screen. ESPECIALLY while living through this Tubi version of The Manchurian Candidate. I've been somewhat successful in limiting my news intake, but every single headline is like a poorly written movie. Thus, I must be careful even with smaller doses of daily news. I feel sooo much lighter and psychologically emancipated when I do. Yes, cortisol is a whole thug. Very dangerous to our bodies.

I know- it's such a time destroyer.

Day 7 of Heart Health Challenge
Some heart disruptors we often don't think about are: drinking alcohol, adding sugar and not hydrating properly How can make a change: Limit alcohol intake Avoid added sugar Drink 64–80 oz water daily Something to think about: Even moderate alcohol can raise blood pressure and triglycerides in women. “What habits from this challenge do you plan to incorporate into to your wellness journey, in order to improve your heart health long term?” For me I will be focusing on strength training and making sure I am getting in at least 25-30 grams of fiber daily.

I am STILL making my water goals since the R.E.S.E.T. challenge ended. To help, for now, I am entering ✅️s in the back of the R.E.S.E.T. book lol. Strength training is my next tackle, for sure.

Thanks for sharing an image of the Pilates Reformer! Thirty min of cardio a day - has been a habit for close to two years now. But weights are a serious challenge for me; yet, weight training is a must. I need to get it together.

Day 1 Heart Health Challenge
Day 1: Know Your Numbers: Awareness before action Today do at least of the following: Check blood pressure Review last lipid panel (Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides) Check fasting glucose or A1C if available Measure waist circumference Calculate BMI “What is one number you’ve been avoiding?”
1 like • 13d
My panels are good - cholesterol is very low (Dr. always ask me if I'm on cholesterol medication). BP, A1C normal. My glucose is always on the higher side (genetics), but no prediabetes etc. Same. Same. Same. Waist circumference! Since having my little one, have lost some weight, but my mid section still looks like a walrus with a bad tummy tuck.
