Good Morning Team,

New Team Challenges are coming today for Nutrition and Fitness Goals to work on for the entire month of August.

This month I am providing a newsletter that will cover areas on what Fresh Fruits and Vegetables can do for our Health.

I will cover the topics of Cardiovascular Disease and Blood Pressure and how eating fresh fruits and veggies can do to help turn these diseases around for better health.

Next month we will look at Cancer and Diabetes.

I will include Suggestions for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables and Suggestions for Fitness exercises to help you get started.

Hope you will join me for the Month of August. I stand with you and cheer you on your journey to Healthy Living!

I will be back later this afternoon and post the Nutrition and Fitness Goals for you to work on.

Next week I will congratulate those who have joined me for the Month of July and completed your goals. Good Job All. Keep pushing ahead and do the Best you can! πŸ‘

Let’s make August great with raising the bar to our Personal Best!

God’s Blessings
Your Team Leader and Friend
Judith

    Afternoon Hello Team

    Congrats on a well done job in completing your Team Goals for the month of July. Keep up the great work! πŸ‘πŸ‘

    For the Month of August we are looking at the Cardiovascular and Blood Pressure and the advantages of doing exercises that impact our Hearts to be Healthier and our BP’s to be at normal levels.

    There is compelling evidence that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.

    * Harvard University studies showed Individuals who ate more than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day had roughly a 20% lower risk of coronary heart disease [4] and stroke, [5] compared with individuals who ate less than 3 servings per day.

    * Dietary Studies Examined the effect on Blood Pressure of a diet that was rich in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and that restricted the amount of saturated and total fat.
    * In 2014 a meta-analysis of clinical trials and observational studies found that consumption of a vegetarian diet was associated with lower blood pressure.

    May I encourage you to come onboard and choose any of the suggested exercises and the Fresh Fruits and Vegetables I have shared for you.

    You are welcome to modify any of the suggestions but I encourage you to try as many of the exercises that will prove to be good for our Heart Health and Blood Pressure.

    WelcomeBack: Looking forward to working with you all for August and pushing on for a healthier body. Let’s raise the bar to our personal best!

    I am adding carrots and cauliflower to make soups that are pureed and easy for me to consume. I am also doing strength exercises and core to help build up my body. It’s slow but a steady plan as I heal from surgery!

    Thank you for the suggestions, Judith. I am still following Dietician advice about what fruit and vege I can eat. I am still getting over lung issues too so cannot do as much exercise but I will try to walk when able.

    So my goals are to stick to a FODMAPS diet (goal 1) and walk when I can (goal 2)

    August 1st - my goals 1 & 2
    August 2nd - my goal 1
