After completing my 10-day detox in November, I vowed to implement many of the great eating habits I experienced. I loved the food so why not eat healthier more often?!
As it turns out my "why" is threefold: (1) because a plate of pasta can be prepared in under 15 minutes after running kids from tennis to violin to gymnastics to choir; (2) because my kids refuse quinoa and butternut squash {as well of the many other very healthy choices I enjoyed}; and (3) because I inevitably attend a luncheon or a dinner or a party two to three times a week {especially this month}.
As a result, I have not implemented nearly as many healthy eating habits as I intended. I am certainly more conscious of what I eat but have not made the strides I intended.
One habit that has stuck, however, is the practice of starting each morning with a cup of warm lemon water. It is so easy and the benefits well outweigh the slightly cringe-worthy minute it takes to get it down.
1. Boosts your immune system
2. Balances pH
3. Helps with weight loss
4. Aids digestion
5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic
6. Clears skin
7. Hydrates the lymph systemThis article, extolling these benefits, sealed the deal for me. Now, if only I could lay off the pasta!!!
What healthy habits have you made part of your daily routine? Inspire me!!
