Happy April!
Now that Spring is officially here, it’s time to plant the seeds of good health in the ripe soil of motivation—and this newsletter is here to help you get started and back on track!
Healthy Eating: the UDU Diet
The newest healthy eating trend you may not have heard of (it’s that new) is the UDU Diet. The letters “UDU” stand for “you do you”, which summarize the core concept: listen to your body, regardless of what your logical mind tells you. Craving a cupcake? Eat it! Fried mozzarella sticks sound good right about now? Go for it!
You know what, boo? You do YOU. It’s called self-care.
Groundbreaking new research in fitness will change everything
DID YOU KNOW? In a recent study by some scientists, watching rigorous physical activity can boost your metabolism almost as much as actually doing it. Yep, allegedly, simply watching a sporting event and getting excited over the real-time action can help burn calories and trigger fat-burning hormones. Tune into your favorite athletic event, like Figure Skating, for example, and when your heart rate jumps at the sight of that triple-lutz, it’s almost as if you were on the ice too!
Fascinating new formula for improving mood
Last but not least: “wellness” means taking care of your mental health, too!
Do you find lately that certain people are more of a “drain” than a “fountain”? Not just lately? You poor thing. As if the pandemic hasn’t already made experiencing joy a novelty, here are these people in your life who seem determined to work your last nerve. ‘Psychologists’ now recommend that we help create personal boundaries by saying whatever is on our minds, just as long as you tack on the phrase “I’m just speaking my truth!” at the end. By clarifying that you’re speaking your truth, the offending party knows that you’re not lying just to be nice (which, as we ALL know, is so much worse).
