Ways To Be Kinder To Yourself
As children, we were told to be kind to others and that’s what we did. As adults, we continue to be kind to others because we know that’s the right thing to do, but what about being kind to ourselves?

Whether you drink it for the sweet sugary taste, the caffeine boost or that famous fizzy feeling, the fact remains, soda can hinder your weight loss and can negatively impact your overall health. Soda is notoriously full of sugar and empty calories, meaning you get almost no nutritional value from it. One look at the nutrition facts label and you’ll see that a 12-fluid ounce can of soda contains 150 calories, 15 milligrams of sodium and 39 grams of carbohydrates while a 20-fluid ounce bottle of soda (more commonly seen today), contains about 240 calories, 75 milligrams of sodium and 65 grams of carbohydrates per bottle. The real problem with…

How To Start Getting More Sleep
In North America, the average adult gets about 7 hours of sleep per night while 33% of the population gets fewer than 6.5 hours per night.

To improve your sleep, it’s important to focus on the outside factors you can control. Instead of getting into bed and hoping for Mr. Sandman to show up, work on crafting the environment and the habits around bedtime to ensure a restful night. Here’s how you can do it: PLAN A SLEEP ROUTINE…
