Fit Fridays: Benefits of Aloe Vera

Filed under: Blog · October 19, 2018

A few weeks ago I mentioned to a friend that I had been having some digestive issues. I hate taking medicine so I was searching for natural remedies. She asked me did I ever try pure Aloe Water and I told her yes I did a while ago but it didn’t cross my mind this time. She said that her whole family takes aloe vera shots daily. So I headed to the market and purchased a Half gallon of George’s Aloe. 

Within a few days I felt a lot better. I also didn’t feel as sluggish but I am not sure if that was the water or result of me not feeling the discomfort of the reflux. I thought that I would share with you guys the benefits of drinking aloe that I had no clue about until last week.

Drinking aloe vera juice has become popular lately for its support of digestive and immune system health. It also helps your body absorb nutrients easier and promotes a healthy heart, healthy blood sugar levels already within the normal range, detoxification in the body and healthy weight management when paired with diet and exercise.

Drinking aloe vera delivers a number of benefits, including support for:

  • Digestive system
  • Immune system
  • Joints and muscles
  • Overall wellness
  • Skin and hair
  • Healthy weight management
  • And more!

Be sure to buy organic pure aloe vera juice. If you don’t like the taste there are tons of bottled aloe vera juices on the market like Alo and Healthy Life Aloe. I take 2 oz of George’s pure aloe vera water in the morning and 2 oz in the evening. Anything over 4 oz daily may result in a laxative effect. You can also get the benefits of Aloe Vera in a capsule! Cheers to good health!

Acai Berry Magic

Filed under: Fit Moms, Mom Life · February 11, 2018

By now you have probably seen or tried an acai’ bowl. The acai’ berry trend has been quite popular for a while now but do you know why? I remember hearing about it about 5 years ago and I tried it here and there. But, recently I have found myself craving this berry hemp acai bowl from Raw Juce. Even my hubby loves it and goes out of his way to get one. I know, crazy right? This led me to wonder what’s really in this bowl and why is it so good that I am craving it like I crave chocolate? I know it is organic, full of yummy fruits and hemp but how does this bowl benefit my health? So I did a little research and here is what I found out.


Raw Juce

Berry Hemp Bowl

 

The main ingredient is the acai so I will focus there. The acai berry is known as a superfood with anti-aging and weight loss properties. It comes from the acai palm tree and is native to South America. Most studies show that acai is richer in antioxidants than cranberries, blueberries, blackberries raspberries or strawberries. Acai is also believed to help control appetite. Hello! It can increase energy and may even help with metabolic functions. Some cosmetics and beauty products even include acai’ oil for its anti-aging benefits.  There are tons of drinks and teas available just about everywhere.

 

Raw Juce

Goji Berry Bowl

 

Here are a few reasons why you should add acai’ to your diet.

*Antioxidant

*Healthy Fat

*Dietary Fiber

*Amino Acids

*Electrolytes

*Trace Minerals

*B-Vitamins

As I approach the big 40 I am definitely here for the anti-aging benefits and it tastes so good. They say it even helps with stretch marks, dry skin and crows feet. You can make your own acai bowls, smoothies, and teas  at home . Whole Foods, Publix and most local grocery stores have a great selection of prepackaged frozen acai’ blends where you just thaw and add your favorite toppings like strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola, hemp etc. So far I have tried the Sambazon smoothie pack and it’s great. I personally prefer to get a fresh bowl loaded with all the good stuff from Raw Juce or Grown, but this does add up. Most bowls run from $10- $14 a bowl. Besides making a gorgeous Instagram photo the Acai’ bowl is actually really good for you! Cheers to good health!

One of my favorite fashion hacks is buying matching sets! You can always mix and match the pieces or add a blazer or jean jacket! Most of the time I just rock the set with a nice bag! Do you like matching sets? 

Outfit: Zara

Come along with me to my Figurella session! Figurella is a unique weight loss program that helps boost your metabolism, lose weight, detox and  tone. It has been around for over 30 years! I love that it is low impact but burns calories! One 30 minute workout in the bubble is equivalent to an hour  and a half in a regular gym. This is because of the unique temperature control technology! 

Since joining Figurella not only have I dropped ten pounds but I have lost over 6 inches and I feel like my old self again! 

So if you are looking to get into your best shape head over to Figurella Pinecrest and tell them that Sporty Mommas sent you! @figurellapinecrest

Two months ago I decided that I wanted a change. I was tired of how my clothes were fitting and I just didn’t feel good about myself. So I knew it was time to try something different. I decided to invest in my health and wellness. As moms we do so much for everyone else but we don’t always do the same for ourselves. I’m so close to my goal of losing ten pounds (like a pound away 😂) and I’m so proud that I stuck with it! 

Here is your sign to invest in YOU and not feel guilty about it! Whether it’s a personal trainer, life coach, therapist or meal plan do whatever you need to do to be your best self!!!
