Motivation

I know that sometimes life throws rocks, I know that sometimes getting up and doing something for yourself might be difficult, heck it's difficult in this day and age when everything is so fast paced that we don't even have time to breathe and when we do get a chance to breathe we are so tired we don't want to do anything. I say breathe more often. Slow it down. Take a second to breathe and relax. Think of yourself and what is best for you. A brisk walk when you need time to yourself, a jog when your mind is cluttered and the stress has you on the edge, a workout to relieve all those things and make you feel accomplished! So what I am saying is make some time for "me time" to do something for yourself that is also healthy and feels amazing once accomplished.

WHY THE NO SALT RULE:
Too much salt can lead to too much sodium in the blood, causing health problems. It can cause you to retain water, resulting in uncomfortable swelling of the hands, feet, and sometimes abdomen. Some women are more salt-sensitive before their period. They are more likely to gain weight and have swelling and bloating from salt at this time.

A serious problem related to too much salt in your diet is high blood pressure. High blood pressure increases your risk for heart disease and strokes. Approximately one third of people with high blood pressure in the United States are especially salt sensitive. This means that if they eat too much salt, it will cause or worsen high blood pressure.
