@bluezoneskitchen frozen meals at @heb 👍🏼

It’s always better to cook fresh meals, but in a pinch it’s great to have nutritious options ready to go!

@heb has a great selection of beans at very good prices. A pound of beans (for under $2 in most cases) can easily serve a family of four for a meal or two. Seasonings can be simple – onion, garlic, tomatoes, maybe add some peppers or celery, whatever you like.

Beans are one of the best choices for complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy and stamina for hours! 🙌🏼

Organic brown rice from @heb ! Rice is naturally “brown“ – meaning whole. It has the nutrients and fiber that naturally come with the grain, helping to digest the starch (the white part) and giving the body the nutrients and fiber it needs. What a great price too!

Sweet potatoes are among the most nutritious vegetables! There are traditional diets around the world that are centered around them. They provide high-quality complex carbohydrates and a plethora of nutrients. So satisfying! Try a few varieties. They can be baked; added to soups and stews; and some people like them for dessert! 🍠

We found these at @wheatsville – they usually have a good variety to choose from. Other good places to find sweet potatoes are @naturalgrocers , @sprouts , and @wholefoods

This is an interesting point from @heyyoudrinkwater 💦 Your body is already dehydrated by the time thirst kicks in.

The best way to make sure we are consistently hydrated is to figure out how much water we need in a day and drink throughout the day.

A good rule of thumb is to take your body weight in pounds, divide that number in half, and that is the MINIMUM number of ounces of water you need in a day.

DRINK MORE when you exercise, perspire, are under stress, and before every effort (physical, mental, and emotional).

Drink about 40% of your minimum in the morning before food. Morning is a natural cleansing time for the body (especially the bowels), and the body perspires at night while we sleep, so rehydrating in the morning is essential. ☀️

Drink about 25% of your minimum before lunch, another 25% before dinner, and the remaining 5% sometime in the evening (which is only a few ounces). Drinking BEFORE meals, away from food, is important so as not to impede digestion by diluting stomach acids while you’re eating food. 💧🍽️

Example: If your body weighs 160 pounds, your minimum amount of water to drink every day is 80 ounces. (Drink more as mentioned above.)
40% (32 ounces) in the morning (divide it up into 16 and 16).
25% is 20 ounces (you can spread this out over an hour or so sometime before lunch and before dinner).
5% is 4 ounces (a small cup of herb tea, for example).

Another suggestion that works for some people is to drink a cup (8 ounces) every hour. ⏱️

However you decide to do it, be sure to get in at least your minimum amount of water every day! 💦 And do drink actual WATER! Avoid sodas, caffeinated beverages (caffeine dehydrates the body!), and sugary drinks. Fresh fruit and vegetable juices can be part of your water intake. 🍇🥒

Choosing fruits and vegetables that are grown locally is one of the best ways to support our health and local farmers! 👨‍🌾 The produce is fresher because it has a shorter distance to travel 🚛; it’s in season; and there is often more variety to choose from since smaller, independent farms understand the value of diversity of crops 🍊. We as the consumer benefit from a wider variety of nutrients and flavor. 👍🏼

These citrus varieties are from Texas farmers and are available at @wheatsville 🙏🏼 They may look “imperfect” but they are juicy and flavorful! 🍊 #gotexan
