New Year Green Smoothie

12/30/2018

 
Picture
Recipe By Joy McCarthy Originally Published at Joyoushealth.com
This healthy green smoothie by Joy McCarthy is the perfect way to begin your first day of 2019! Packed with fruit, protein and electrolytes - this yummy tasting drink will prepare you for a new day and a new year....and depending on how your New Year's even unfolded, restore you as well :)

Health Benefits:
  • The "electrolyte" part is due to the coconut water which is rich in minerals and naturals salts such as potassium and magnesium.
  • The ginger is very anti-inflammatory due to gingerols
  • Pineapple is wonderfully anti-inflammatory as well and good for digestion too thanks to bromelain, an protein digesting enzyme.
  • The hemp seeds are a complete protein which is essential for rebuilding muscle tissue and it's a great source of good fats called GLA.
  • The banana and coconut milk make it thick and creamy. 
GREEN ELECTROLYTE SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS
​

1 banana
1 pear or apple
1 cup fresh spinach
3/4 cup pineapple
1/2 tsp fresh ginger root {you can toss it a pinkie-size chunk whole into the blender}

1 cup coconut water (just use water if you don't have this)
1/2 coconut milk (swap with any other milk ie. almond or hemp if you don't have this)

Dr. Nikita specializes in women's health with a special interest in fertility, pregnancy and postpartum naturopathic medicine. Your care will be uninterrupted in my absence, and Dr. Nikita will make every effort to provide you the same quality of care as I have.

6 Ways To Keep Mind & Body Healthy For The Holidays

12/14/2018

 
Picture
1. Take Some Time To Yourself
​
Take some quiet time to yourself, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Regardless of if you give yourself 5 minutes or 5 hours, you are sure to feel better after realigning with your authentic self.

Remember, the holidays are supposed to be fun, so try to release any pressures around what you should or shouldn't be doing and instead relax and enjoy because once the season has passed, you won't be believe it's already over.
Picture
2. Schedule Self Care In Advance 
​Often the times when we are our busiest are the times we need self care the most, so be proactive and schedule your self care in advance! Register for a yoga class, book a relaxing massage or plan a date with yourself and put it in your schedule the way you would any other task you need to complete. When the time comes you will be thankful to have a break where you will return refreshed, grounded and ready to take on the next round of festivities! 
Picture
3. Set An Intention
Setting an intention is a powerful tool in helping to manifest your desired outcome and can be used as a gentle reminder of how you wish to feel when you get thrown off by stress. An intention can be as simple as a word such as 'harmony' or can be a sentence such as 'I intend to lead from a place of compassion this holiday season.'  
Picture
4. Get Organized
Whether you are an old fashioned list writer, or Google Calendar enthusiast, set aside some time to get clear about everything you need to complete this holiday season. Break down each item into bite size tasks with realistic due dates that you feel comfortable with. By having the information stored in one place you will feel more in control and better equipped to deal when the busyness of the season takes over. ​​
Picture
​5. Do Less
Once you have a better understanding of all the things you need to do, ask yourself which ones are absolutely essential and what could be either delegated or skipped altogether. The holidays are about being present, having fun with your loved ones and practicing gratitude, if you don't make your famous gingerbread cookies or colour coordinate your tree perfectly, is it going to take away from any of that? Probably not. So, try not to stress! Be ok with not 100%. Do what you can and be in the moment. 
Picture
​6. Be Mindful Of What You Eat
The work parties, family gatherings and social events are sure to temp you to indulge in endless snacking. This is an important time to consider what it is that you are eating (and not eating!) and make some swaps and changes. Taking the time to carefully select what you put in your body is going to positively impact both your health and mood. You might have to miss out on some of your favourite festive treats, but your mind and your body will thank you!

We want to hear from you. What are some of your favourite ways to sneak in some downtime during this busy season?
