10 Tips for Living a Balanced Lifestyle

Many of us strive to find balance in life. All of our needs fit into figurative buckets, and we want to fill all the buckets of our physical, mental, and emotional health. When you find balance in your lifestyle, you find harmony because the body is interconnected in so many ways.


When you follow our 10 tips, you’ll find that it’s easier to fill all of your buckets.


  • Achieve Hormone Balance
  • We market LOVE ME SOME crackers as seed cycling crackers that can help women balance their hormones – which can be very helpful with perimenopause and menopause. Imbalanced hormones can lead to bloating, fatigue, irritability, hair loss, issues with blood sugar, difficulty concentrating, and more. 


    Hormones help with functions all over the body, as you’ll notice in our other tips.


  • Be Physically Active Every Day
  • Exerting energy has many benefits. First, being physical releases endorphins, the feel-good hormones that also help you sleep better and relieve stress. Second, you get stronger. Third, you’ll have more energy.


    Need an energy boost to help rev your engine? LOVE ME SOME crackers are a powerful snack with healthy fats and fibre that puts fuel in your tank. 

     

  • Get Enough Vitamin D and Calcium 
  • We need vitamin D to absorb calcium, which keeps bones and muscles healthy and strong. These nutrients help you be physically active and contribute to overall health.


  • Challenge Your Mind 
  • Learn a new language, take up an instrument, enroll in an online class, there are many ways to exercise your brain. 


    Another reason to balance your hormones is that it keeps you sharp. For example, estrogen has a profound impact on brain health, with a positive effect on learning, memory, mood, and neurological processes. 


    Additionally, LOVE ME SOME crackers are rich in Magnesium and Zinc, which contribute to the brain’s cognitive functions.


  • Create a Strong Social Network 
  • Mental health heavily influences our quality of life. One way to take care of your mental health is having a community around you. It helps fill your cup and establishes a sense of belonging, support, and purpose.


  • Eat a Healthy Diet 
  • Studies show that when women eat healthily, everyone in their household is more likely to eat healthily. These women know a healthy diet is rich in whole grains, lean protein, vegetables, and fruits. 


    Our crackers have no added sugar, no preservatives and they’re naturally gluten-free, trans-fat-free, cholesterol-free, nut-free, and vegan. It doesn’t get much healthier than that. 


  • Get on the Preventative Healthcare Train 
  • Several risk factors for many health issues are in your control, such as taking up exercise or quitting smoking. Getting a physical from the doctor can also help you learn how you should take better care of yourself. 


  • Get More Sleep 
  • Women’s hormonal changes impact their circadian rhythms. These interrupted sleep-wake cycles are one reason women need more sleep than men. Getting better sleep comes back to balancing those hormones. Progesterone, a compound released by the ovaries, helps you sleep better. 


  • Drink Enough Water 
  • You’ve likely heard that you need six to eight glasses of water each day. It improves digestion, regulates body temperature, improves circulation, increases energy, and prevents muscle cramping. Without enough water, you can become dehydrated, which can depress your immune system and cause you to get sick – and who has time for that?


  • Manage Stress 
  • Many women spend time and focus on taking care of others. Stress symptoms can be physical, emotional, mental, occupational, social, or more. Don’t let stress manifest in your body, as it can lead to depression, anxiety, heart problems, headaches, obesity, bowel problems, pregnancy issues, menstrual problems, and more. Some stress can be tackled by exercising to release endorphins, talking to a professional, or taking time out for self-care. 


    Magnesium is a mineral that can help ease stress and contribute to better sleep and mood. Each pack of LOVE ME SOME seed crackers are loaded with a healthy dose of magnesium – another reason to love these crackers!
