Implementing and working on all five areas will bring you to the best health of your life. ●   Sleep is hugely underrated and so important in how we function. We may not think we need much sleep; that’s normally because we’ve trained ourselves to operate with less sleep, but the reality is that our bodies need 7-8 hours a night. ●   Sitting is the new smoking. We sit more than humans have ever been designed to. This doesn’t mean you need rigorous exercise, just moving through the day. Park further away, walk to your destination, and find ways to keep you moving!QUOTES: “I hope that everybody's walking away from all these episodes with understanding what’s hype, what’s a fad, and what’s real, and what we know works for ourselves.” - Jenn Trepeck“When the number is going down, when we look at body composition, what we are actually losing is water, muscle, and sometimes bone, i.e. The opposite of health. Then what happens is we go back to these old eating habits, but now we have less muscle on our body to be burning all that fuel, so we gain all the weight back, but we gain it back as fat. So with each yo-yo, we are actually putting ourselves into what is now known as metabolic syndrome.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn’s Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With a Side of Fries Instagram
