Resources for Nourishing Your Body
We believe our bodies are instruments for creating good and beautiful things in this world. If we’re not taking care of our bodies, how can we care for others and effect change in this world?
Let’s chat about some resources to help nourish the body, so that it can in turn sow seeds of goodness into this world.
Meal plans- I thrive on planning food each week. I’m a shop once a week kind of gal and I hate to have to run into the store multiple times per week. I could be doing other nourishing things during that time, right?! To prevent multiple store trips (and saving gas and paper bags), I set aside time to plan the next week’s meals every Sunday night. I love finding pre-made meal plans from my favorite food bloggers (Fed + Fit & Half Baked Harvest email one in their newsletter every week!) and the one linked above is from the Real Food Dietitians. I like to piece together my own meal plans most weeks, but it’s always nice to have someone else do it for you from time to time (especially when shopping lists are included!)
Rachael’s Good Eats - Rachael is a registered dietician with a blog & social media following (find her on Instagram @rachaelsgoodeats!). We love trying all of her recipes and recently, her Good Sweat workout guide! She makes healthy eating & working out approachable and fun!
Nourish Move Love - another workout program I love to follow is from Nourish Move Love! All of the workouts are free on their blog and on Youtube. Subscribe to their monthly newsletter to receive weekly workout plans in your inbox every Sunday!
Beauty Counter Makeup - I recently switched all of my skincare over to Beauty Counter and I have been loving it! I’m trying out their Vitamin C Serum, and Overnight Peel, plus I’m obsessed with their liquid foundation, concealer, and mascara! I opt for a pretty basic makeup routine and Beauty Counter supports that with clean & safe ingredients.
Essential oils - I highly recommend trying out essential oils to support a variety of emotional and physical conditions like sleep support, soothing aching muscles, and promoting tranquility. My favorites right now are OnGuard, Serenity, Adaptiv, Lavender, Peppermint, and InTune from DoTERRA.
Vitamins - I’ve loved using Athletic Greens vitamins to supplement my healthy eating habits. I personally love the refreshing taste and ease of use. If you have an active lifestyle and are on the hunt for new, easy, and delicious vitamins, check out Athletic Greens!
Being intentional in treating our bodies well not only helps us feel good, but it allows us to pour out into others and into the world. I hope these resources encourage you to take time to nourish your body, to live well, and to live whole.
