All the hormones in your body? they play a really important role. Even the dreaded cortisol which is produced during stress, is necessary in helping our bodies to recover and actually adapt to using the energy in our bodies when we exercise. Or when we are when we're in a stressful situation and we need that immediate energy. So it's really really important! However, these hormones start to overcompensate and I'm not a hormone expert, but I do know that your health is not a calorie game, right? Nutrition is not about calories, it's about balancing hormones and making sure that your body is working for you not fighting against you! The tip today is one way to help your body balance those hormones increase the energy increasing including increasing your metabolism, to help decrease the your blood sugar blood sugar levels and and give you more energy throughout the day. But the two tips for you are this: #1: carry a big bottle around with you get used to this being like now we have to carry a mask around with us everywhere we go right just add the water bottle. Bring your water bottle with you wherever you go. Now, tip #2 has to do with the relationship between food and water. Often we often we mistake the feelings of hunger for actually being thirsty. When you say, "I'm hungry, I'm going to get up and get something to eat, I want you to first think about why you're going to get something to eat." Is it because you're bored? stressed? frustrated? discouraged? You need a little pick me up, right? Or it's because you're feeling those hunger pains? Sometimes those hunger pains come because we're actually thirsty. So I want this to become your mantra, to improve this practice of drinking more water. Your mantra is, "I take a drink before I eat". And if you set a timer, take a drink of water and set a timer for 10 minutes. Chances are, you won't need that snack. You have better things to do, and can look forward to fully enjoying a meal when your body is ready for it.
