Eating Good - Moving More - Boosting Energy - Living to the PLUS

Image result for eating good moving more

What to eat, how to move, how to get more energy, how to sleep better... the list goes on. AND there is sooooo much information out there and much of it is conflicting! What to do, what to do?

Keep it simple like Nick to the Plus! Complicating and arguing over this and that with "other camps" is a waste of time and energy. Why? Because most "camps" agree on most things.

  1. Eat more whole food (things that don't come in a package or a box)
  2. Eat less processed food (thing that come in a package or a box)
  3. Eat more colors of the rainbow. Look at your plate, how many colors do you see. Try to eat all five colors at least twice a day or 7-14 servings a day or 20+ for athletes to reduce oxidative stress-
    1. Red (Lycopene) 
    2. Purple/ Blue (anthocynin)
    3. Orange/Yellow (Carotenoids)
    4. Green (Carotenoids, Indoles and Saponins)
    5. Brown/White (Allicin, Potassium)
    6. There are 10s of 100s of phytonutrients in these colors that are NOT found in animal products
    7. Want and "Easy" button? Juice Plus has the nutrients of over 30 fruits and vegetables and the most researched nutritional product on the market. This is help bridge the gap between what you should eat and what you actually eat. 
  4. Fiber also provides key benifits- 
    1. slows sugar absorption
    2. makes your intestines move faster
    3. cleans your colon
    4. helps keep you regular
  5. Eat small more frequent meals
    1. carry a snake pack or cut fruits and vegetables to munch on for the day
  6. Limit alcohol, sugar and caffeine drinks
  7. Drink more water- 1-2 gallons a day
  8. Eat organic or better yet buy local or grow your own food as much as possible
  9. Exercise or move purposefully at least 30 min a day 6 days a week. This can also be broken up in to 10 min segments (set and alarm to get up and get moving) 

If you need help with making these changes, I am here to help nicktotheplus@gmail.com
Ask your friends and family to join you.
Create a group and make it fun!

Live to the Plus!

Waking up on Saturday Morning

Image
This morning we slept in. I guess when I have the option, I’ll sleep in. Most days I’m up before 6, 6 is the latest. Most Saturday’s I am up for an event, working, volunteering, supporting others or racing. This is TriLife. I love waking up before the sun. The morning air, hearing the birds wake up. The calm that most people are not up and no traffic. My absolute favorite way to wake up is swim in the Comal from LPE ( Last Public Exit) I also love the feeling, that is not too often, is waking up on a Saturday and not having to go to work, but to work on the things I want. How do you fell when you don’t have to go to work but you can work on the things you want? I am not talking about doing yard work, carting family around, paying bills... I am talking about the things YOU want to do, the things that make you feel like you are creative, like you produced something, something that is a personal accomplishment. This can also include exercise, self development, learning. How often d

Mono-cropping, Glyphosate our Soil and our Future

Wrath of the Titans (2012) Cyclops Attack Scene - Cyclops Battle - Movie Clip HD TM & © Warner Bros. (2012) Fair use. Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 This is what I think about when I think about mono-cropping. This is strictly from my experience and from what I have learned, I am not an expert. Mono-cropping, has one crop, one function, one eye, one perspective, one intention, and one fatal outcome.  Mono-cropping with Glyphosate is like everywhere the Cyclops was he had deadly farts to everything around him. This is not to fart from the truth. I honestly don't not know what Glyphosate smells like, but it for sure is deadly to all biology except GMO it touches. Did you know Monsanto started out as a chemical weapons company in Vietnam and...

Living to the Plus- Connection- Networking- Groups - Mentors - Leaders- Servant Leaders

Image
How is your connection or connections? Do you have a support chain or network? Do you know networking is one of the greatest super powers? The phrase "it's not what you know but who you know" can truly be used to your advantage or detriment on how you use your network. If you have a passion or an objective, you can only do so much alone. Yet if you have an established network of resources, you can ask for help, delegate and collaborate to accomplish your goal faster, stronger and more effective. Another form of networking is groups and a way to connect. Weather it be on social media or (not in Vid-19 times) in person. Groups offer a bank of people and resources. If you utilize them effectively they can help motivate, keep you accountable and to help you reach your goals. What groups are you in and how do they benefit you? They say in order to become a Master at something you have to do that action or skill 10,000 times. Are you a Master at anything? How much time or times
