For a little while now, I have talked with you about my health and where it is. For those who don’t follow me on Facebook, I finally went to the doctor after years of self-neglect and got some blood test results that were pretty scary. All is well now, luckily they were just a scare and a great wake-up call, but it set me on a track of really putting myself first. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I have three beautiful and amazing reminders as to why taking care of me is so important! I need to make better food choices and to be more on top of what my body is telling me. This is why I was SO SO excited to receive the Women’s Health Babbleboxx featuring products that can help me on my journey to ultimate health! With great food choices like Healthy Choice Power Bowls, a Mio SLICE Heart Rate + Activity Tracker, Arm & Hammer Toothpaste and even a DNA Kit from 23andMe, I can take care of me with more information than I have ever had before! Check out each awesome item below for taking care of you!
Healthy Choice Power Bowls helps in taking care of you
As someone who is really trying to make better food choices, I have always heard that fresh is best. As a real mom who is balancing three kids, four dogs, two business and… um… life, I rely on frozen melas when the time crunch is real. If you make the right choices, frozen can be just as good as fresh! This is why, when I do open the freezer for a quick meal, I reach for Healthy Choice Power Bowls! I received the Adobo Chicken Bowl in my Babbleboxx and flipped the package to see the ingredients. Healthy Choice Power Bowls are made with a combination of nutrient-dense vegetables, proteins and whole grains catering to people living an active lifestyle. Meals are inspired by Korean, Cuban and Latin cuisines and are made in new bowls made of plant-based fiber instead of plastic. (<–I love that!)
The Adobo Chicken Bowl is made with pulled all natural chicken breast with vegetables served on top of brown & red rice, red quinoa and black barley with a guajillo chili sauce topped with roasted pepitas! It is sooo good, you guys. Plus, it is made with all natural chicken raised without antibiotics! There is over 16g of protein and 6-8g of fiber in every bowl. For those active lifestyles we lead, we NEED this protein! For our taste buds, they have are recognizable ingredients and bold flavors.
Oh, and if you are still not a ‘frozen fan’, check this out. Healthy Choice is the only major brand in its
category that can call 100 percent of its products “healthy” as approved by the FDA.
I love the ease and convince and can’t wait to hit the store for other varieties as well!
ARM & HAMMER™ Toothpaste
Let’s stay with things you put in your body for a moment. Taking care of you means making better choices on products you use for hygiene and beauty. ARM & HAMMER™ Toothpaste helps maintain healthy gums by cleaning deep between teeth and along the gum line with the gentle power of Baking Soda in ARM & HAMMER™ Peroxicare™ toothpaste. It’s the only toothpaste you can feel working!
My grandmother used to brush her teeth with straight baking soda every day. She always had a beautiful smile and using Arm & Hammer Toothpaste reminds me of her! The bonus? I get a deep clean, healthy gums and a baking soda whole mouth clean right from the tube!
Mio SLICE Heart Rate + Activity Tracker. Featuring PAI.
Activity. Activity. Activity. We ALL need more of it. These days our smart phones keep us informed which I am convinced keeps us sitting. Now, more that ever, we need to get up and GO. I hit the CrossFit box 4 -5 days a week and that is my main exercise. Besides chasing kids and dogs who get out. But the truth is, even I need more activity! I LOVE the motivation and information that is given to me by my new Mio SLICE Heart Rate + Activity Tracker. Featuring PAI. that was in my Babbleboxx!
This one is COOL, y’all! PAI is a scientifically-validated metric based on heart rate that tells you how much activity you need to live a longer, healthier life.* The ideal goal is to maintain a PAI score of 100 or more over a rolling 7 days, and you can do this with all types of activity, even those that don’t involve steps like biking, rowing and fitness classes. PAI is calculated based on age, gender, resting heart rate and maximum heart rate. It is a fitness tracker that has a heart rate monitor in it that can provide health data we all need to know!
It synchs easily with these devices: iPhone 5S and above, running iOS 9 or above & Android phones running Android OS 5.0 or above. You just synch it to your phone, download the app, set up your account, enter your stats and you are up and running!
- Continuous All Day Heart Rate Monitoring, 24/7
