How To Start Your Day Off Right

February 16, 2020 By Beth Nydick

How To Start Your Day Off Right

Are you considering moving to clean eating, but cannot find the time to start? It may be that clean eating sounds like an entire lifestyle shift, one that requires proper planning and proper initiation. You may be putting it off until you get a few days off from work or when that one big project is over. You will keep looking for reasons to put off change until you realize that you can just break down that change into smaller pieces and start integrating it slowly into your life. You will not be asked to change everything in order to live better and brighter; you only need to remember a few things as guiding principles to set out on a new journey.

One of the most important aspects of clean eating is what you choose to eat. That does not mean just planning meals according to the grade school food pyramid; it means that whatever you choose to eat, the closer it is to its natural state, the better it is for you. Try to avoid foods that have been refined, processed, or preserved. It is always better to go natural to benefit from inherent nutrients without the chemicals or preservatives that may reduce a food’s natural goodness.

When you are trying to eat clean, it is also a good idea to eat organic. In this day and age, enhancements and hormone treatments have crept into all kinds of foods. This ends up having an adverse effect on your health even if you are eating what you should in all the right quantities. It is important to start choosing organic; a little vigilance goes a long way.

Always read labels. They give away everything you need to know about the food you are buying. In general, the more ingredients a product contains, the higher the chances there are that the food is processed. Even if you try eating healthy, there is a chance that the products you buy may contain preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and colors that make the healthy, unhealthy. Read the label to make sure that the yogurt you add to your bowl of berries is not going to ruin your clean eating.

The simplest trick to eating clean is to remember the eating clean equals eating greens. This is the bare minimum to jumpstart into clean eating. Try your hardest to incorporate leafy greens into whatever you are preparing for healthy servings of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as increased fiber, which boosts your metabolism by assisting digestion. By filling you up with the least number of calories but the most amount of nutrients, leafy greens help you to be healthy with just one color. This is an easy place to start. With the myriad smoothie and salad recipes out there today, leafy greens can always find a way into your diet.

We have talked about adding to your clean diet. Now let us talk about the omission. One of the simplest things you can omit for maximum effect is artificial sugar. Start identifying all things that contain artificial sweeteners. Drop that can of soda, say no to that candy, and you are on your way to clean eating. Watch how your energy stabilizes and your mood lifts when you leave out artificial sugar that plays havoc with your blood sugar levels.

Clean eating does not have to be difficult or intimidating. Start small and implement easy, gradual changes into your regular eating habits to get yourself on the right path toward better health.

Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a hea Add those veggies! It so much easier to make a healthy dinner when you have roasted a whole bunch of veggies. Last nite I made zucchini with scallion, carrots with parsley , tomato with garlic and it took me 5 minutes. Here is how to make veggies fast and tasty.
1. Pull all the veggies you have in the house that you can cook. Pick 3 to 4.
2. Chop everything into big pieces or keep whole.  3. Add to a bowl, add olive oil, salt and pepper. Get really crazy and peel some garlic to throw in. Put it all onto 1 or more oiled pans.
4. Roast the shit out of them. 375’ for 20-40 minutes is always a safe bet. You can always ask Alexa or google for that particular veggie. 
5. Have some right out of oven, taste the best!
6. Pack them into containers and save for tomorrow.
7. When hungry pull out some veggies, pour them into a pan to heat up. I like to top mine with a fried egg or avocado and salsa.
8. Enjoy! ⁣

Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the Relationship and collaboration ! I say it all the time and I live it.  I was asked to be apart of this incredible fundraiser.  Because .. well I’m fab.... that and I have a relationship with @dishitgirldina  @jessica_dambra & @cmspiceculture , the hosts. No I don’t know them from my kids and have only met Dina in person. But when I’m booked on their show, I show up in top shape, create a fantastic segment and follow up with social media leverage. We all work as a “team”, tagging each other to get  out the content. ................The way I made it happen from the start was this.... I saw Dina was hosting a new local show and I reached out to her and the producer. The producer was excited for me to bring cocktails to the show. Nothing special, just people being people. What are you doing to create your next opportunity from your contact list?? Yes, right now!?!?? Nothing? Let’s talk, I bet you I will help you find more than one. .. ⁣

Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in Did you know that there are over 5,600 children in the Foster Care system in NJ . Children who are usually placed in foster care have been evaluated by a child protective services worker and the court, who have determined it is not safe for them to remain at home. However, there is an alternative solution instead of the foster care system, interim foster care, also known as “IF.” 

Interim foster care provides a safe place for babies to live while decisions regarding their permanency are being finalized. It allows biological parents to continue to fully explore their options while knowing their baby is being well cared for in a loving home. The biological family has a minimum of three days to make a decision about their family. The baby may then be returned to their birth families or placed with an adoptive family when interim care is complete.  Dm me for more details ⁣

I switched high schools between my Junior and Seni I switched high schools between my Junior and Senior years. It was anything but FUN!

I cried for the first few months. 
I didn't even know what a syllabus was and I was drowning. I remember trembling at the desk of Mr. Borlo, the English professor, with his small wire-framed glasses and brown curly hair, I cried. I told him I was unable to finish his assignments; I truly didn't even understand them. He looked at me straight and said, "I'll help you." 

Over the last several years, I've had the incredible opportunity to teach how to intentionally prepare a business and create publicity opportunities that allow visibility.

Through my guidance and strategies, students have gone on to appear on regional and national media platforms like Good Morning America & Entrepreneur. Plus, I make sure they have their business in order when their new audience comes to find out more (trust me, this matters more than the publicity itself!).
