Friday Fitness week #7 – Superfoods and Super Moves!

Superfood – a nutrient dense food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being.

These power punches are rich in compounds such as antioxidants, fiber or fatty acids that increase energy and vitality. Many have been labeled with the ability to regulate cholesterol and blood pressure with the consideration of fighting cancer and other diseases. Wow. Really think about that. Fights cancer and other diseases! We hear that all the time but do you believe it?

Imagine a world full of colorful edibles verses white pills or chemical therapy? The poor pharmaceutical companies (to be said with sarcasm) would go out of business if the symptoms they’re paid to mask are taking care of by clean eating, proper hydration and Superfoods.

I could write several posts on that topic, but I’ll keep it light by inviting you to include more miracle foods in your diet. It’s easier than you think!

Musíca!

My challenge this week is so much fun! If it be 2-step, hip hop, ballet or just good ol’ clubbin…. turn on some tunes and move!

Dancing does so much for the mind, body and soul! From elevating the heart rate to releasing endorphins that send happy little vibrations throughout our body that say, “Be happy and thrive!”

Many sports and workouts require training for strength and proper technique before fully engaging in the activity. Dancing? Nah. It doesn’t matter if you’re the next contestant on So You Think You Can Dance or the main character in the next clip on America’s Funniest Home Videos, you can still do it… so do it!

I’ve been so fortunate to have gotten the opportunity to dance around the world. Only naming a few would start with nights clubs in Amsterdam, Costa Rica, California, and El Salvador to live shows in Germany, Trinidad and on a boat in Barbados! I was even lucky enough to jam out at a Alicia Keys concert in Japan and at the Foo Fighters in Argentina!
