Attention to anyone who deals with regular constipation: There is yet another reason to head to the produce section of the grocery store. A new study from the American Journal of Gastroenterology (AJG) found that eating two kiwi fruits per day increased the frequency of complete spontaneous bowel movements. The fruit was also able to reduce gastrointestinal pain for people with functional constipation and constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C).

How Do Kiwis Help Relieve Constipation?

The study aimed to compare the benefits of consuming six grams of dietary fiber through the consumption of two skinless kiwi fruits and taking a 7.5-gram dose of psyllium. If you are unaware, psyllium is a common supplement used to relieve constipation. The participants in the study either had functional constipation, IBS-C, healthy controls, or a combination of these. Each participant took one of the two interventions for four weeks. After the first four weeks with one intervention, there was a four-week break, followed by another intervention for another four weeks. 

According to study authors, consuming two green kiwi fruits per day resulted in an increase of at least 1.5 completely spontaneous bowel movements in people with constipation. Only the participants with IBS-C experienced an increase of 1.25 completely spontaneous bowel movements after taking psyllium. That said, those same participants saw significant improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms when taking psyllium. Researchers, however, did observe improvements in gastrointestinal symptoms for all groups consuming kiwi fruits.

Were There Limitations In The Study?

Researchers noted that study limitations included participants’ adherence to the intervention, the food they ate, self-reporting, and details of bowel movements. The study was also small, only including 184 people. The study still builds on previous research that indicated the kiwi’s ability to benefit those with constipation. For example, a 2022 review found that green and gold kiwis, in addition to kiwi supplements, positively affected upper gastrointestinal health. 

Prior research from a 2018 review attributed kiwi fruit’s gut health benefits to the naturally-occurring dietary fiber and actinidin, a proteolytic enzyme. This enzyme works to ease protein digestion in the small intestine and stomach. Researchers from the recent AJG study acknowledged these previous reviews and studies, and claimed that they were building upon this existing research. With the previous clinical trials involving kiwi fruit and the recent study, it is safe to say that consuming two green kiwi fruits daily is safe and potentially effective treatment for constipation in those with gastrointestinal disorders. 

What Should You Know About Fiber And Constipation?

There is an increasing amount of evidence detailing various methods, whether natural or not, to help improve symptoms of constipation. A 2017 review found that IBS can cause serious abdominal discomfort, constipation, and bloating. A 2021 review noted that IBS affects about 7-16% of the U.S. population, and it is most common in women and younger people. Unlike IBS, functional constipation does not always cause abdominal pain; however, it does cause infrequent bowel movements. 

Fiber is a key player when it comes to the management of IBS and functional constipation. It may also help lower a person’s cholesterol and reduce the risk of other diseases, including colon cancer and diabetes. But how much fiber do you need in order to establish regular bowel movements? 

The National Academies recommends that men consume at least 38 grams of fiber per day, while women should consume 25 to 28 grams per day. The sad reality is that the average American adult only consumes about 16 grams of fiber per day. One could argue, then, that the lack of fiber consumption in this country contributes to the constipation problem. You also have to take into account the different foods, such as processed foods, saturated fats, deli meats, and more, that cause constipation. 

If you want to include more fiber in your diet, consider focusing on nuts, beans, whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. These foods will not only help you meet your daily fiber requirements, but also provide you with a wide variety of nutrients that promote overall health. Eat a kiwi fruit, nay, eat two kiwi fruits per day to increase your fiber intake and regulate bowel movements!

The post Spring Into Self-Care With These Simple Ideas appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Spring has officially sprung, which means it is time to shed those winter layers and enjoy some warmer temperatures. Some people like to freshen up their homes, getting rid of clutter that accumulated during the fall and winter seasons. Although spring cleaning is a self-care tip, it is not the only way to practice self-care this season. We would like you to think of spring as a chance to pay more attention to your own well-being, however that looks to you. We just hope the suggestions in this article resonate with you. 

On the surface, self-care refers to taking care of yourself, be it mentally, emotionally, or physically. Perhaps you take yourself to a spa or head to the gym to fit exercise into your day. On a deeper level, though, self-care might translate to changing your overall outlook to help you feel more comfortable and self-assured every day. Begin your self-care regimen wherever (and however) you see fit. Consider the following tips to get you going.

Embrace Doing Nothing

The power of relaxing is an art form. Sometimes, you just have to unplug from life and take the day to do absolutely nothing. Allow yourself to feel bored and consider revisiting a former hobby. You may also want to catch up with old friends or family members on the phone. If that sounds painful to you, consider “escaping” from your life for the day. Don’t worry about timing or chores that must be done. Take the day and watch some TV shows or movies. Don’t overexert yourself because a lot of people need rest to rejuvenate the body. 

Get Out In Nature And Ground Yourself

Given that spring exhibits warmer temperatures, now is a great time to go outside. According to researchers, spending time in nature is one of the best ways to reduce stress, promote mental clarity, and regulate the nervous system. That may look like a hike in the hills, a walk through a neighborhood park, lounging on the beach, or sitting in your backyard with a book. When you are in nature, take off your shoes and consider grounding yourself. Remove your shoes and connect with the earth’s energy through your bare feet. Identify the things you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste during this grounding exercise, and it will help you focus on the present moment. All you have to do is be wherever you are. 

Do An Emotional Check-In

Different seasons affect your mood more than you realize. For example, winter can take a toll on mental health, resulting in seasonal depression, or seasonal affective disorder. During spring, take the time to check in with yourself in the following ways:

  • What patterns from winter do you want to get rid of?
  • Are there emotions that have been present in your life lately?
  • What are you looking forward to in the coming weeks or months?

Write down your thoughts or consider discussing them in therapy, as both of these methods can help you gain better insight to what your body needs this spring. A spring journal, or mood tracker, can help you note behavioral patterns from day to day.

Get Moving, If Possible

If you live in an area that experiences severely cold weather, spring provides the warmth needed to get you out and about. Cabin fever is all too common during the winter, but warmer weather allows for a hike in the forest, or a surf session in the ocean. If the weather is too wet to go out in nature, consider taking part in an indoor yoga class. A session of stretching can also be beneficial to your body, loosening you up for optimal movement. 

Meditate

One of the best ways to boost overall mental health is to be more present and mindful. New to meditation? Get started by sitting in a comfortable spot and engage in deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try your best to clear your mind and direct your focus to your breath. Meditation is a mental journey and even though your mind may wander, always come back to your breath. 

Try A New Self-Compassion Exercise

Self-care is not just about what you do; rather, it is how you speak to yourself. During this spring season, practice self-compassion by replacing your own criticism with kindness. If you find yourself talking to yourself in a negative way, pause and ask, “What would I say to a close friend in this same situation?” Would you speak to them in the same negative tone? If the answer is no, alter the way you talk to yourself to encourage positivity.

The post Small Victories To Celebrate During Your Weight Loss Journey appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

A weight loss journey is like a rollercoaster: there are many ups and downs and turn-em-arounds. It’s possible for the number on the scale to increase just as you saw it decline for weeks at a time. This is called hitting a weight loss plateau, and it can seem like all the effort in the world won’t get rid of more pounds. 

Many factors influence how you lose weight. There isn’t an excuse to stop what you’re doing just because your weight stops going down. Sometimes, you just need to evaluate your weight loss strategies and see what else your body needs to continue your weight loss. Oftentimes, a weight loss plateau means that the body is in a phase where it needs to maintain that weight for a bit. When that isn’t the case, hormones, diet, or other factors may be at play. The numbers that don’t budge should not discourage you from staying on the healthy path, though. 

The scale is merely one instrument that indicates progress. There are many other signs that are worthy of celebration. Keep an eye out for the following weight loss indicators and celebrate them when you notice. Celebrating small victories can boost your morale and may even encourage you to work harder and push forward. 

You Feel Stronger

Are you lifting heavier at the gym? Do you pick up items that used to seem heavy with ease? Increased strength is an indicator that you are on the right track toward your weight loss goals. A stronger body can mean that you have more muscle mass than before, which means the number on the scale may stop going down. Eventually, as you adapt your routine, you will build muscle mass and lose more fat to continue your weight loss journey. Trust in the process and be proud of your stronger body.

Your Heart Is Healthier 

Improving your metabolic markers (blood pressure or cholesterol levels) can play a big role in the health of your heart. A healthier heart is always worth celebrating, especially on your weight loss journey. You don’t have to see a gigantic jump on the scale to improve metabolic markers either. A small change in body weight can do more for your heart than you realize. 

Your Clothes Fit Better

Sometimes, you may lose inches quicker than you lose weight. This is why you shouldn’t always base your progress off the number on the scale. It’s very uncommon for people to measure their thighs, arms, waist, etc., all of which indicate weight loss. Keep an eye on how things fit during your journey and give yourself a pat on the back if a pair of pants or a jacket goes on more easily after working hard. 

You Manage Blood Sugar Better

Feeling discouraged about your weight loss journey because the scale isn’t reflecting your hard work? Check your blood glucose levels because stable levels can indicate immense progress. Fat is hormonally active, so your blood sugar can be hard to regulate when you have excess body fat. This is why blood sugar regulation can be difficult for people with insulin resistance, or those who are overweight or obese. When you make positive changes in your diet and lifestyle regimen, you should have an easier time balancing blood sugar. Check the numbers and be proud of the control!

You Have More Energy

Do you have a little more pep in your step than you did before you began your health journey? More energy is a big indicator of progress, even if the pounds are not coming off as quickly as you’d like. When you have extra weight on the body, you can become physically, emotionally, and spiritually tired very quickly. To no surprise at all, weight weighs you down, but prioritizing your wellness and doing the work can help you feel more energetic. The same movements that used to tire you out may no longer have that effect. Celebrate that progress because you deserve it.

You Like The Way You Look

Praising your body can be a difficult hurdle to jump over, especially if you have a history of body image struggles. When you start admiring what you see in the mirror, you need to celebrate the progress that got you there. You did the work, boosted your confidence, and changed your health! Just remember that self-confidence isn’t a number on the scale, and that embracing your body can be a game-changer to your weight loss journey. Write down compliments about yourself every day as a way to affirm your progress.

No matter if you are a construction worker, mother of three, or a person with a desk job, you can still experience general pain upon waking up. Mornings can be very tough, especially when your body does not want to move the way you want it to. You reach to snooze your alarm, only to experience a sharp pain in your shoulder. Once you sit up from your slumber, you may feel tension in the neck. This is not a great way to start your day. 

One simple way to loosen up and ready the body for the day is to engage in simple stretches. The stretches in this article do not require a lot of space, nor do they require workout equipment. Dedicate about five minutes of your morning to the following stretches and your body and energy levels will thank you. 

Forward Fold

The standing forward fold is a classic, calming stretch that helps relieve tension in the lower back and hamstrings. It helps promote blood flow to the brain, which can help you feel more energized, which is a wonderful benefit on those groggy mornings. 

  • Stand with your feet hip-distance apart and knees slightly bent. Take a deep breath in and raise your arms overhead. 
  • During your exhale, allow your arms to fall as you fold your upper body forward, hinging at the hips before rounding your back to hang. 
  • Let your arms hang toward the flower and relax your head. You can hold opposite elbows and gently sway if that feels good.
    Remain in this position for 15-30 seconds, taking slow, deep breaths. Engage your core to return to the starting position, rolling up slowly to avoid sudden movements. 

Seated Side Stretch

Open up your sides and elongate those obliques with a seated side stretch. Make sure to take some deep breaths during this stretch, as that is a great way to get more oxygen to your muscles and brain. 

  • Sit down on your butt in a cross-legged position, or in a butterfly position (whichever feels more comfortable), and place your left hand on the floor outside your left hip for support.
  • Raise your right arm overhead and lean to the left until you feel a stretch down your entire right side. 
  • Hold for a few deep breaths and then switch sides. You should aim to stretch each side for 15-30 seconds. 

Child’s Pose

This is one of the most classic and beginner-friendly yoga poses in existence. It is perfect for relieving tension in the back and shoulders, while also helping open the hips. Child’s pose can feel calming, especially if you wake up with a stiff neck or back. 

  • Begin in a kneeling position, sitting back on your heels with your back straight. 
  • Reach your arms forward as you lower your torso down toward the floor, letting your forehead touch the mat or floor. If that is not comfortable, you can place a yoga block or pillow under your chest for a modified position.
  • Widen your knees to the sides a little and breathe deeply for 30 seconds. Try to extend all the way through your fingertips to make the most of your time in child’s pose. 

Neck Stretches

It’s not uncommon to hold a lot of tension in the neck and shoulders. That is especially true if you work at a desk all day. A gentle stretch can help you feel a little less tight and more loose to start your day. 

  • You can do this in a seated or standing position, whichever is more comfortable for you. 
  • With your back straight, slowly tilt your right ear toward your right shoulder until you feel a stretch along the left side of your neck. 
  • Hold for a few deep breaths and then switch sides. 
  • Once you finish both sides, you can add a gentle chin tuck to help stretch the back of the neck. 

Cat-Cow Stretch

The cat-cow stretch is a great way to wake up the spine, as it helps promote circulation throughout the body. This stretch is a relaxing way to get rid of any stiffness that may have built up overnight. 

  • Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position, stacking your shoulders over your wrists and hips over your knees.
  • Take a deep breath in and arch your back, letting your navel drop toward the floor. This is the “cow” portion of the stretch. Lift your head and tailbone toward the ceiling. 
  • During your exhale, round your back and tuck your chin to your chest, drawing your navel in. This is the “cat” position of the stretch. 
  • Continue alternating between these two positions for five to 10 breaths, moving with each inhale and exhale.

Want to delay dementia by five years? Researchers found that late-life social activities help people stay mentally sharp and together.

It’s no secret that cases of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are on the rise. In fact, data from 2022 found that nearly 10% of American adults ages 65 and older have dementia. Another 22% experience mild cognitive impairment. An even more unsettling fact is that dementia cases are projected to double by the year 2060. That means that new dementia cases will rise to reach one million per year. 

Researchers note that the current lifetime risk of developing dementia after age 55 is 42%. Women face an even higher likelihood due to their longer life expectancy. Although aging is the dominant risk factor at the moment, health conditions including hypertension, poor mental health, obesity, and diabetes can contribute to the rising crisis. These projections are grim, but there are things you can do to delay, or at least reduce, your risk of developing dementia. A recent study, however, found that there is one promising solution to delaying the onset of dementia: staying socially engaged. 

Late-life Social Activity Could Delay Dementia Onset By Five Years

The recent study of conversation was published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of Alzheimer’s Association. It highlighted how frequent social interactions could help preserve cognitive health into old age. The study involved about 2,000 older adults for a period of nearly six to seven years. Researchers tracked their social engagement and cognitive status. 

The results indicated that those who were the most socially active delayed the onset of dementia by five years compared to those with minimal social interactions. Study authors also observed a lower risk of mild cognitive impairment, which is an early stage of memory decline. More specifically, study authors found that the participants who were more socially engaged had: 

  • A 38% lower risk of developing dementia
  • A 21% lower risk of mild cognitive impairment

These findings highlight the role that social connections play in maintaining brain health. More importantly, social connections may reduce the national burden of cognitive decline. 

How Does Socializing Benefit The Brain?

According to study authors, the mechanisms behind this brain boost are not fully understood yet. At the moment, researchers put forth the following theories:

  • Stress reduction: Having positive social interactions on a regular basis can help reduce chronic stress, which can harm the brain. Lowering your stress levels can help protect the hippocampus, which is the region of the brain that is essential for memory.
  • Cognitive stimulation: Social interaction not only provides mental challenges, but also diverse conversations that can promote new neural connections, a process called neurogenesis. This is integral to delaying the onset of dementia, considering that altered neurogenesis has been identified in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. 
  • Physical activity: More often than not, social interactions are typically coupled with some sort of movement. You may have a lunch date, which involves sitting, but you can take a walk or engage in a yoga class with a friend as well. Incorporating more movement into your social interactions can help protect against cognitive decline
  • Hormonal balance: According to research, social engagement helps regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. This helps control stress responses and can influence overall brain health. 

What Can You Do?

If you want to stay socially engaged as you age, you don’t have to make tremendous alterations to your life. A few simple ideas can help foster new social connections, and a few examples are:

  • Volunteer: Giving back to the community is a great way to meet new people in your community. Not only that, but it provides a sense of purpose!
  • Keep learning: Perhaps there is something you want to learn, and your age shouldn’t stop you from doing that. Enroll in a course or attend a workshop that encourages learning and interaction
  • Join a club: This could be a book club, gardening group, or local ceramics class. These classes  harbor people with shared interests, which usually ignite conversations and connections. 
  • Stay physically active: It’s no secret that exercise offers brain-boosting benefits. Rather than just working out by yourself, though, health experts encourage you to take fitness classes or join a physically active group to get the social and physical benefits.

The start of 2025 may be three months behind us already, but there is a lot of year left to make your resolutions become reality. Most people don’t feel that way by now, especially if their goal was to lose 20 pounds within the first three months of the year. There is no need to get discouraged because difficult things take time. If weight loss was easy, then everyone would do it without any issues!

Regarding weight loss, a lot of emphasis is placed on diet, and rightly so. If you eat unhealthy foods that make it harder to lose weight, you are only shooting yourself in the foot. For your own health, we encourage eating whole foods that offer a diverse mix of nutritional benefits. Take it one step further and focus on consuming the rainbow, e.g. a lot of different colored fruits and vegetables. 

It’s time to reframe what you know about weight loss, well, to a certain degree. Exercise is truly the non-diet-related factor that can influence how much you eat. Continue reading to learn more. 

How Does Exercise Influence Weight Loss?

When you think about exercising for weight loss, you most likely think of burning calories or increasing muscle mass. Interestingly enough, different research studies and reviews concur that exercise may also contribute to weight loss by regulating hunger and feelings of fullness. For example, a 2021 review noted that physical activity could modulate resting satiety and hunger in older adults. A separate 2018 study found that exercise facilitated weight control, partially by regulating appetite. 

Previous research from 2011 found that mixed-intensity aerobic exercise was temporarily able to reduce hunger sensations. Researchers also noted a reduction in acylated ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and relative food intake. Varying the intensity of your exercise, in theory, could be useful in terms of losing weight. 

How To Apply This Research

If you want to get more of a handle on your weight loss this year, make sure to include adequate exercise in your daily life, but don’t forget to vary your movements and workouts. Not only is exercise an effective way to regulate your appetite, but it also helps to keep your body strong. 

Given the available research on this topic, researchers concur that resistance training, low-intensity cardiovascular exercise, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are great places to start. In addition to exercising for appetite regulation, consider keeping your hunger in check with our Metabolism Booster. This herbal supplement can assist with weight management, thyroid and liver function, and may aid in optimizing digestive health. Promoting healthy metabolic pathways may just help you maintain healthy body composition. 

Here’s What To Know

If you want to make weight loss one of your wellness goals for 2025, balance is everything. That statement can be applied to most things in this life, but it is especially true for weight loss. Strike a balance between exercise and healthy eating habits and you will get closer to your goal each day. Make sure to get enough movement every day because if you are eating right and the pounds are not dropping, lack of exercise may be the culprit. Go ahead and break a sweat to drop those pounds! We believe in you!

In a world where calorie counting and intense workout regimens dominate weight loss strategies, there’s a lesser-known pathway that taps into your body’s intrinsic ability to burn fat naturally. Imagine if instead of forcing rapid changes through extreme diets, you could simply support your metabolism with nature’s own toolkit. This fresh perspective suggests that by aligning with your body’s natural signals—and the powerful synergy of herbal science—you can achieve sustainable weight loss without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.

The Body as a Self-Regulating Ecosystem

Our metabolism isn’t just a static process that converts food into energy; it’s a dynamic ecosystem with complex feedback loops. Hormones, enzymes, and cellular processes work together to maintain balance. When this ecosystem functions optimally, it efficiently converts stored fat into energy, supports healthy weight, and even improves overall well-being.

Many modern diets focus on restricting calories or isolating specific nutrients. However, this approach often ignores the harmonious interplay of natural processes within our bodies. What if the secret to sustainable weight loss lies in nurturing this ecosystem? By providing the right herbal support, you can gently coax your metabolism into a state where it naturally burns fat more efficiently—an insight that may reshape your understanding of weight management.

Herbal Synergy: Nature’s Blueprint for Fat Burning

Herbal science offers a multi-dimensional approach to boosting metabolism, one that has been refined over centuries of traditional use and is increasingly supported by modern research. Unlike synthetic supplements that often target one aspect of metabolism, herbs work on multiple fronts, creating a balanced and sustainable effect.

Consider these powerful herbal allies:

  • Ginger & Cayenne Pepper: Known for their thermogenic properties, these herbs help raise your body’s internal temperature. This natural heat generation accelerates metabolic processes, increasing the rate at which your body burns calories without the need for harsh stimulants.
  • Cinnamon: Beyond its role in regulating blood sugar, cinnamon helps maintain steady energy levels. By smoothing out the peaks and valleys in your blood sugar, it prevents energy crashes that often lead to cravings and overeating.
  • Dandelion Root: Often overlooked, dandelion root supports healthy digestion and acts as a natural diuretic. It aids in flushing out excess water and toxins, which can reduce bloating and promote a more efficient metabolic process.
  • Green Tea Extract: Packed with antioxidants and catechins, green tea extract not only energizes the body but also helps convert stored fat into usable energy.

The secret lies in how these herbs work together. Instead of relying on one single ingredient to spark fat burning, a well-crafted herbal formula can create a synergistic effect—amplifying the benefits of each component and supporting your body’s natural metabolic rhythms.

A Holistic Shift: Supporting Your Metabolism Naturally

Traditional weight loss strategies often rely on short-term fixes that overlook the importance of long-term metabolic health. A more holistic approach acknowledges that your body is designed to maintain balance and that with the right support, it can be its own best fat-burning machine.

This new understanding leads to a transformative insight: rather than waging war against your body with restrictive diets and extreme workouts, you can work in harmony with its natural processes. By using herbal remedies to enhance metabolic functions, you’re not just burning fat—you’re cultivating a state of health that sustains weight loss over time.

Integrating Herbal Science Into Your Daily Life

Incorporating herbal support into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making small, meaningful adjustments that empower your body to function optimally. Here are a few practical steps to consider:

  1. Morning Boost: Start your day with a warm cup of herbal tea infused with ginger, cayenne, or even green tea. Just keep in mind that green tea contains caffeine. This can kickstart your metabolism and prepare your body for the day ahead.
  2. Balanced Meals: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that complement the action of herbal supplements. Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains to provide the fuel that your body needs to maintain an efficient metabolism.
  3. Mindful Hydration: Adequate water intake is crucial for metabolic processes. Consider adding a slice of lemon, berries, or various herbs to your water for an extra nutritional boost.
  4. Gentle Movement: Regular, moderate exercise—like a brisk walk or yoga—can further enhance the effects of herbal support. Movement not only burns calories, but also helps regulate hormone levels, creating an ideal environment for fat burning.
  5. Evening Ritual: Wind down your day with a calming routine. A small dose of herbal support in the evening can aid digestion and help your body transition into a restorative sleep cycle.

By integrating these practices, you create a lifestyle that naturally supports your metabolism. Over time, this balanced approach can lead to noticeable improvements in energy levels, digestion, and overall vitality—proving that sustainable weight loss isn’t about drastic measures, but rather nurturing your body’s innate capabilities.

It’s that time of year again, when the holidays are in full swing and the end of the year is approaching. Before you get ahead of yourself, don’t start stressing about the new year. Enjoy the holidays, and then you can start to plan what you’ll do when January 1st approaches. 

A lot of people want to lose weight, eat better, and exercise regularly at the beginning of the year. Weight loss and diet resolutions always top the list, but seldom do people follow through with those goals. Gyms in January look a lot different than they do in March, specifically regarding crowds. The reason that many people give up on their resolutions is because the goals are too lofty, and there is no plan in place. To make “weight loss” your resolution is a nice idea, but there is no structure. Instead, it’s better to say, “I want to lose five pounds in January,” for example. 

The new year isn’t just about exercise and dieting, though. One of the best things to incorporate into your “new year new you” plan is self-care. One could argue that the new year is the perfect time to start fresh with self-care. Self-care is not just bubble baths and time spent reading in a nook. Those things fall into the self-care category, but there is a lot more you can do for your mental health. To prepare you for a successful January, we’ve outlined a list of self-care ideas you can do before the year ends. Let us know if you engage in them before the New Year!

Enjoy Those Holiday Treats

Yes, you should have your holiday cake, and eat it too! Be mindful about the treats you eat, focusing on thoroughly enjoying the couple that you looked forward to all year. You do not have to completely lose all self-control and abandon dietary restrictions, but you should allow yourself to enjoy the holidays without guilt. There is enough guilt to be had from family!

Get Your Home In Order

Holiday clutter is a real thing, and it only builds on any preexisting mess(es) you had in your home. There is no greater feeling than entering the new year with a clean and tidy home. Although cleaning can feel like a chore, it is actually a form of self-care. Even if the actual cleaning process is not enjoyable, the feeling of a clear space helps to boost your mood. That puts you in a great mental space to start the year off right.

Create A New Year Playlist

Listening to music is beneficial on so many levels. It can lift your spirits, amp you up, bring you down, and turn you inside out. Whether you need to pump yourself up or rest and recharge, music can benefit your situation. We recommend that you create a playlist of songs that get you pumped up and motivated to tackle your New Year’s resolutions.

Gratitude For The Year

It can be beneficial to reflect on the year and write down all the things you are grateful for. There is power in gratitude! Sure, there were most likely moments of negativity, stress, or other low points, but good things and highs also happened. Focus on being grateful and flood your mind with positivity. If this ends up being a practice that you enjoy, consider practicing daily gratitude, during which you write down a couple small things you are grateful for every day

Move For The Sake Of Movement

Exercise and self-care go hand in hand because you always tend to feel better when you move your body. You don’t have to push yourself to the point of throwing up; rather, a neighborhood walk, playing with your kids in the park, riding your bike, or jumping rope are all great forms of movement. Move your body because it deserves to move! Dance like nobody’s watching, as they say. Consider taking a new class, such as Zumba or Pilates. Find your groove and carry that motivation into the new year. 

Set Your Goals Or Make A Vision Board

This may not be useful for everyone, but it can be for those who love personal development. Spend a day mapping out your goals, hopes, and dreams before the start of the year. We do not recommend doing this once 2025 arrives. Planning out your goals can be very helpful to your future self. Additionally, nothing says self-care quite like planning out the goals you want to achieve or things to happen in the year to come.

Going to the gym is not feasible for everyone. Busy schedules, after school activities, work functions and more can get in the way of gym time. As we’ve said time and time again, you do not need a gym to exercise. There are many at-home movements, many of which don’t require weights, that can help build strength, endurance, and stability. Fitness experts refer to a lot of these exercises as primal movements.

What Are Primal Movement Workouts?

Great for the joints because they encourage blood flow throughout the body, primal movements aim to help the body tackle everyday activities. They are natural patterns that have been a part of human mobility for many years. Primal movements work to improve posture, strength, mobility, balance, and overall fitness. They allow your body to move with less effort and tension. 

Primal movements are not only fundamental, but also natural to the human body. Exercise physiologists suggest that they may reverse the negative effects on the body that happen from modern lives. These movements may help correct poor posture that results from sedentary lifestyle.

Most Common Primal Movements

  • Push movements: These revolve around the upper body and involve pushing weight away from your core. Alternatively, you push your core away from a stationary object, such as a bench or the ground. Push movements work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and forearms. 
  • Pull movements: Similar to push movements, pull movements revolve around the upper body, only they involve pulling a weight toward your core. You can also support your body weight by pulling your core toward a stationary object, such as a bar. Pull movements work your back, biceps, forearms, and traps. 
  • Lunge: Lunge movements require you to take a step forward or backward with one leg, while keeping the other leg stationary. These movements focus on one leg at a time and aim to strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and calves. 
  • Squat: In a squat, you bend your hips, knees, and ankles in order to lower your butt toward the ground. The goal is to keep your back straight and chest up for proper form. Squats work to strengthen your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, while also improving lower body strength and balance. 
  • Rotation/Twist: Rotation or twist movements involve twisting or rotating the body from side to side. These movements activate core muscles, targeting the abs and obliques, in addition to parts of the legs. 
  • Hinge: Hinge movements require bending and revolve around the core muscles, especially those in the back. These movements also require you to activate your upper legs, including your glutes and hamstrings. During hinge movements, you maintain a steady upper body as you hinge at the waist to bring your upper body toward the ground. 
  • Gait: Gait movements involve pulling, twisting, and lunging in order to make the body run, walk, or jog. A gait movement is classified by putting one foot in front of the other and moving the body backward and forward. 

What Are The Benefits Of Primal Movement Workouts?

As you probably know, there are mental and physical benefits to working out, especially as you get older. Practicing primal movements integrate the entire body, which helps condition your joints and muscle groups to work together. These movements can help enhance overall body integration, which ultimately improves athletic performance and reduces the risk of injury. When your major muscle groups consistently work together, the body can become more synchronized. 

Primal movements are suitable for all fitness levels because you can adapt the movements to accommodate your level of fitness. For example, you can do knee push-ups instead of regular push-ups. These movements do not require equipment, making them a cost-effective option for people who don’t want to pay for a gym membership. Finally, primal movement training can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. Strengthening the muscles around the joints can reduce joint pain and preserve the joint in the long run.

The family is together, football is on TV, and there is a bountiful feast in plain sight. After enjoying a carb-centric, calorically-dense meal, most people feel like they want to burst. Exercise is usually the last thing people think about, but that’s not true for everyone. Some people feel like they need to counterbalance the excess calories they consume. People choose to do that leading up to the big feats, while others decide to engage in post-Thanksgiving activity.

Before we recommend some beneficial workouts after Thanksgiving, allow us to highlight the importance of movement. Research indicates that there are many benefits to moving the body after a heavy, large meal. Exercise helps to improve digestion, boost metabolism, and prevent bloating. That is because it gets the muscles in the digestive system working, which helps the body process food more efficiently. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits and then which exercises are best to do after Thanksgiving.

Elevated Mood

Exercise triggers the release of endorphins, which are mood-boosting chemicals in the brain. Engaging in physical activity after a big meal can help combat post-meal fatigue, while simultaneously improving mental clarity and promoting a better sense of well-being. 

Reduced Risk Of Chronic Disease

According to research, regular exercise helps reduce the risk of several chronic health conditions, including heart disease, certain cancers, and type 2 diabetes. Exercising after heavy meals can help contribute to an overall healthier lifestyle. Being healthier helps reduce your risk of developing these diseases in the long run. Just remember to listen to the body and choose exercises that are comfortable but slightly challenging. A combination of aerobic and strength is ideal!

Improved Digestion

As stated earlier in this article, exercising after a heavy meal can stimulate digestion by encouraging blood flow to the digestive system. Increasing blood flow aids the absorption and transportation of nutrients, which may help reduce the discomfort of bloating

Blood Sugar Regulation

After consuming a heavy meal, it is very common for blood sugar levels to rise. Exercise may help regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity, which allows the body to use glucose more efficiently. That is especially beneficial for people with insulin resistance or diabetes. 

Improved Metabolism

Exercise may temporarily boost the body’s metabolic rate, which means that it burns more calories efficiently. Exercising after a meal may result in a greater calorie burn, which can help prevent excess weight gain. 

After indulging in a Thanksgiving feast, consider a few workouts that help alleviate bloating and provide comfort. Gentle movement is essential! Stretching and walking can help relieve gastrointestinal discomfort while burning calories. Two post-Thanksgiving gentle exercises are as follows:

Walking Or Light Jogging

Both walking and light jogging can help burn calories while also allowing people to enjoy fresh air. A post-meal walk not only supports digestion, but it also helps reduce bloating. Aim to walk at a somewhat brisk pace for 30 minutes for the most benefits. Begin at a slower pace to warm up and then increase speed after three to five minutes. Whether walking or light jogging, maintain a comfortable pace and avoid stomping and unnecessary impact on the joints. Keep the body in line and elbows tight to the body. Don’t forget to cool down with some stretching after the walk or jog, which actually brings us to the next point. 

Stretching And Yoga

There are various stretches and gentle yoga postures that help encourage optimal digestion. Some research indicates that certain yoga poses can help enhance digestion, relieve bloating, and promote relaxation. Child’s pose has proven to be especially beneficial for the digestive system, and it also stretches the back and abdomen. Forward fold is another gentle stretch that targets the lower back and hamstrings, promoting blood flow to the digestive system in the process. Don’t push the body too much during stretching and avoid inverted poses after a large meal, as that can cause acid reflux or nausea.
