In order to live a long, happy, and healthy life, you have to learn to love and be kind to yourself. It’s not as easy as it sounds. If we talked to our friends the same way we talk to ourselves, we would find ourselves pretty much alone.

Made one of my favs for dinner. Garlic butter steak bites, potatoes and broccoli. So delicious and an easy meal to make!

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

Regular, consistent exercise is a natural anti-inflammatory. You can make it fun by going on a walk, biking, or even just dancing at home.

Vitamins and minerals are as essential for living as air and water. Not only do they keep your body healthy and functional, they protect you from a variety of diseases. https://t.co/hgsKEtB4Ic #HarvardHealth #vitamins

Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of what you eat!

Its import to understand nutrition labels when choosing food products. Aim for minimal added sugar and choose products that have simple ingredients. #nutritionlabel

@futureRDNDC I love pumpkin seeds in a salad with some goat cheese. It’s delicious!😋

Couldn’t agree more. There needs to be more focus on prevention rather than managing.

[Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia @ifixhearts]

Our focus in the healthcare system is how to manage people who are diseased. We are not focused on how to keep people from getting those diseases in the first place.

[Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia @ifixhearts]

Being closed-minded is one of the worst traits that a physician can have.

[Nimai Delgado @NimaiDelgado]

Eating unhealthy food has become so normalized that when someone decides to eat healthy it’s considered dieting.

[Meaghan Orcutt DTR @meaghan_renae]

This is so important so ensure you don’t create a bad relationship with food. I never ever use the word “cheat” when talking about foods.

Stop the #dietculture language

I am not a vegan but I do enjoy eating vegan meals throughout the week. This is a great list of plant-based foods you can incorporate into your diet.

[International Food Information Council (IFIC) @IFIC_Insights]

Just because you're #vegan doesn't mean you can't pack in the #protein. Here's our list of plant-based sources of this important nutrient- https://t.co/rd1HpicJQQ

[Harvard Health @HarvardHealth]

Eating a broad variety of #fruits and #vegetables is a good way to get a sufficient intake of #flavonoids. Now, a study suggests that flavonoid-rich foods may also play a role in protecting memory & thinking as people get older. https://t.co/jomnCuHyU9 #HarvardHealth

The QUALITY of your food controls your FOOD INTAKE.

STOP FOCUSING ON CALORIES.

Focus on the QUALITY of your food.

I love adding chia seeds to my oatmeal or just in a glass of OJ in the morning.

[Lori Shemek, PhD @LoriShemek]

Chia Seeds are a Powerhouse of Health.

These tiny seeds contain large amounts of fiber, omega-3 fats (ALA), plant protein & several essential minerals + antioxidants.

Chia Promotes:

👉Balanced Blood Sugar
👉Lower Blood Pressure
👉Increased Fiber Intake
👉Lower Inflammation

Sleep is so important for the body. It can boost your immune system and increase exercise performance. A good nights sleep does wonders for my mood and productivity level.

[WebMD @WebMD]

It’s true that as we get older, our sleep patterns change -- but at any age, you still need quality rest to be healthy. https://t.co/B9iYJFtkMA
