Health and Wellness Tips

Selecting Our World Organics produce is just one way to maintain a healthy lifestyle that’s in tune with our environment. Here are some other tips you can follow to make the most of your health—and get the most out of life.

Diet

• Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables (at least five servings) daily.
• Eat more whole grains (whole wheat bread, brown rice, oatmeal) and fewer refined grains (white bread, white rice, pasta).
• Choose healthier sources of protein, including beans, nuts, fish, poultry, and eggs.
• Eat more “good” fats (unsaturated) and fewer “bad” fats (saturated and trans).
• When you go out to eat, choose smaller portions or share an entrée.

Exercise

• Maintain a consistent, healthy body weight.
  
• Exercise at least 30 minutes daily—in one session or several small ones. For example, make your day more active by walking, jogging, or biking to work.
• Focus on activities that are fun and social, such as walking with friends.
• Strike a balance between fat-burning (cardio) and muscle-building (weights).

Wellness

• Boost your immune response by getting seven to nine hours of sleep at night.
• Drink eight to twelve 8-ounce cups of fluids (five of which should be water) daily to avoid fatigue.
• Relieve stress regularly through yoga, meditation, exercise, or massage.
• Take time to control your stress. Breathe deeply for three to five minutes twice a day.
