One of my most requested topics is about my health and wellness routine. I would in no way describe myself as a health expert, but there are some general guidelines I find myself sticking to. I’m not saying my routine is right, but it works for me!

Perfect Breakfast: Earth Bar Acai Bowls && Juice

Diet
I don’t follow a particular diet in the traditional sense of limiting what I can or can’t eat. I’m more concerned with getting the right amount of nutrients as opposed to keeping track of the number of calories I’ve had. I generally find myself more attracted to healthier foods because I like the way they make me feel [i.e more alert and energized as opposed to sluggish and tired]. Here’s generally how I break down the day-

Breakfast: Fruits
I like to stick with fruits for breakfast. Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, raspberries- they’re all packed full of vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants that are great for energy as well as great for your health. I’ll slice up a bunch of fruits and put them with granola and yogurt, or in a breakfast smoothie with protein powder. I really am also starting to love acai bowls!

Lunch: Vegetables
I load up on the green vegetables at lunch time- the darker, the better! I typically eat some kind of spinach salad with a variety of  vegetables like broccoli, avocado and corn. I’ll either grill some chicken to add for protein, or I’ll drink a protein shake on the side [I prefer the chocolate meal replacement shakes from Boost that have around 15g of protein].

Dinner: Protein/Vegetables 
I don’t keep strict guidelines for what I can or can’t eat at dinner, but I refer to have protein with vegetables. One of my favorite things to make is salmon with asparagus! I will make things like pasta or potatoes from time to time, but I generally try to make less carb-heavy meals because they generally make me feel worse after eating them.

Dessert: Grapes
Grapes are my favorite for dessert. They can be sweet, or strong, and they’re the perfect end to any day. And by grapes, I mean fermented grapes. Wine. I’m talking about wine, guys.

Portion Control
I don’t count calories or carbs or anything like that. I eat more frequently throughout the day and also eat much smaller portions than are typically served [I usually eat half of what is served at a restaurant]. Try having a snack like nuts throughout the day- the protein will give you energy and keep you fuller, so you’re less likely to overload at meals.

Exercise
I’m definitely not an exercise buff, but I do try to get in cardio around 2-3 times a week. Go out and get your blood flowing! I also do general exercises with weights, and I really used to love pilates [need to get back into it… stopping is the worst!] Side note: I also feel okay doing less on the days that I decide to move all of my furniture around. That is definitely a work out!

Supplements:
I have really bad allergies to medicine like penicillin, so I’m open to trying things that supplement health and keep sickness at bay. Here are the products I take every day-

Agrisept-L:
I put 5-6 drops of agrisept in a glass of water every day for general health. It helps with cleansing and loaded with antioxidants. It helps with general stomach health as well as things like keeping away colds. I swear by this stuff, especially considering I travel so frequently

Bio Extract WO China Healing Oil:
I put around 7 drops of this oil in a glass of water in the morning and at night. It’s also great for general health and keeping allergens away [preventing sore throats, sinus infections, etc]. All of these water supplements taste a little odd, but their benefits definitely outweigh the taste!

TruFlora probiotics:
I take one of these pills every morning to add good bacteria into my system / help with digestion. I’ve always had an off stomach, so this combined with the water supplements help! They’ve helped immensely with a lot of the feelings that I thought were anxiety- they really were just from a bad stomach!

In addition– Biotin:
Not for actual health, but I also take biotin everyday for stronger hair and nails. You can buy the expensive pills from a hair salon, but the better route is to buy the supplement straight from the drug store [the more expensive pills touted for hair growth only contain minimal amounts of biotin]. I buy the 1,000 mcg form and take 2 a day.

Hope you guys enjoyed my routine! I’m not saying this is right for you or how things should be done- this is just what I’ve found works for me and makes me feel the best!
