WELLNESS HACKS FOR OUR ACTIVE GENTS

Maybe you're planning a summer wedding. Maybe you just want to feel good in your swim suit & boxers. What ever your motive, FEEL & look your best with these wellness hacks for the active gent (or those aspiring)!!

Bullet Proof Coffee

There's been a lot of hype around Bullet Proof Coffee & for good reason. The mixture, which is basically a cup of black coffee with grass-fed butter and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) oil mixed in, was designed by Dave Asprey, owner of Bulletproof Executive, to "supercharge your brain function and create effortless fat loss with no cravings." It's been taste-tested by vegetarians, paleo dieters and the non-believers, and by far the consensus is great. The taste is creamy, the health benefits are plenty & there's a lot of ways to make this recipe your own. Try adding a teaspoon of protein powder for a frothy, latte taste. Or, consider whisking an egg into the mixture for a smooth, protein-full benefit!!

Melt Organic 

We're all about finding the EASY ways to incorporate healthy hacks into our diet. Melt Organics is one of those ways. Each variety of Melt Organic features the perfect blend of the healthiest oils. Each blend is made from natural, fruit & plant based organic oils - virgin coconut, palm fruit, flaxseed, sunflower and canola. Each servings also has a rich source of Medium Chain Fatty Acids...aka...the good fats. We personally crave the Chocolate Melt Organic or Honey Melt Organic over healthy desserts. 

Sleep Routine

Sleep is essential. It's completely vital to our mental wellness & physical health. Problem is, so many people struggle to get a full night of uninterrupted sleep. Whether you're stressing over wedding plans, work or just the daily grind of life, it's important to find ways to better your sleep routine. Consider starting a new 'sleep ritual'. Maybe you take a digital detox an hour or two before "bed time." Or you could try a night meditation, either guided from a book, computer app or on-demand. Make sure your sleep space feels comfortable, zen & true to your vibe. Perhaps its time you & your man made some 'going to bed' improvements. And no, we're not talking about the sexual kind. New comfortable pillows, blankets and candles all make a world of a difference.

Morning Routine

Just like your sleeping rituals matter, so do your morning routines. How you choose to start the day can be the difference between a good mood and a bad mood. We know a lot of you gents may not be 'morning people' but the good news is that a solid morning ritual can change how you view the early hours of day. As soon as you open your eyes, have a large bottle or glass of water ready to drink next to your bed. Start chugging. Throughout the night, its easy to become dehydrated and dehydration can lead to fatigue, head aches and poor skin. Starting each day with a large glass of water can refuel your body, energize your mind and set the day up for success. It's that easy. 

High Fat Diet

It's seems counter intuitive, but a high fat diet is a true secret to weight loss and strong mental health. It's good for your skin, prevents disease, supports brain function and keeps you full longer. Studies have also shown a high fat diet leads to better body composition, more muscle, less rick of depression and heart disease. Some people are immediately turned off by the word fat combined with diet, but here's the thing - we need to consume fat in order to live and function healthily. Some of our personal fave healthy fats include avocado, coconut, coconut oil, wild salmon, raw nuts, avocado oil, olive oil, and nut butters.
