3 Natural Ways to Ease Constipation and Bloating

Constipation is one of the most common digestive issues which has a huge effect on your overall health, happiness, mood and energy (usually making you irritable, angry, uptight and frustrated or trying to hide).

These are my top tips for supporting healthy digestion:
1- PRIORITIZE your digestion**** prioritize your digestion in your daily routine and life whether you are traveling or not! from the moment I wake up my routine is created to help promote healthy digestion because I know this makes or breaks my day. I start with movement, water, greens and make sure to give myself the proper time I need to ensure effectiveness. A lot of people need to be in certain environments and situations to feel relaxed and comfortable to have a healthy bowel movement, so learn about your body and what environment is best for you... do you prefer to be at home? In a private bathroom? Are you fine in public bathrooms? Do you usually go in the Morning? Afternoon or Night? Start to learn your patterns and make sure to honor what your body needs and prioritize it! If you have to be alone at your house and usually go in the morning then make sure you give yourself enough time in the morning before you commit to anything else for this. This is SO important.
2- Hydration💦 this means not only drinking plenty of water throughout the day but getting enough healthy lubricating fats and oils in your diet such as olive oil, avocado, coconut oil, organic butter to hydrate your stomach lining and help aid in digestion, so start adding 1-2 tbsp in your daily meals. Also, If you are not great at drinking water then track it by carrying a large 16 or 32oz portable glass or stainless steal water bottle and finishing 2-4 bottles full. track this until it becomes habit. Hydration is the key to constipation and people easily forget about the importance of this because it’s too simple. Lastly, incorporate hydrating greens in every meal to boost fiber and health, avocado, spinach or green powder in the AM and greens with lunch and dinner.
3- Daily Movement 🚶‍♀️5/10 mins of body rolls, twists, squats, jumping jacks, Qi gong, 🏃‍♀️,🧘‍to boost it!

3 Tips for Seasonal Allergies

Spring 🌸 one of my favorite seasons because the flowers are blooming, the sun is shining again and everything is waking up, but with this comes more pollen as well as shifts in the weather, causing higher chances for allergies and getting sick. 


Here are my top 3 tips to help prevent colds and allergies: 
1. Vitamin C. amp up your vitamin c intake to keep your immune system strong. Eat fresh hydrating fruits, citrus or add lime and lemon to your water, salads & soups. 


2. Hydrating from head to toe. Allergy flare ups and itchiness can occur all over your body. If you experience itchy eyes, hydrate with artificial tears or do cool compress. Get natural nasal spray or Nettipot. Use Shea butter or coconut oil for your body, try weekly coconut hair masks, wear hats when possible to protect your scalp and add sea buckthorn or rose-hip oil to boost your skin hydration...and of course don’t forget to drink water because it’s good for you, will help to keep the body clean + flush out toxins. 


3. Rest. Spring is exciting and there is so much happening we want to get out there and play after being cooped up during winter💃🏼Remember to sleep when you are tired and rest when you feel over worked even if that means you have to miss out on a fun party or event. Trying to do everything with everyone can wear you out and weaken your immune system + increase your chances of getting sick. *extra credit- during this time increase your intake of a daily immune boosting vitamin (I love IMMU-ZYME); drink fresh vegetable juices or smoothies, drink bone broth or eat nourishing soups when you can; take epson salt baths and don’t forget to continue your self care. 💕
