Daily strength essentials

Optimize your health and happiness

by Kimberly Whitfield

I have three approaches to well-being which have all been very beneficial in my life. They are: Inspire, Beauty and Strength. Over the years, I have realized the benefits of positive routines and how influential they are to one’s life.

During this COVID-19 pandemic, you may find yourself in need of self-care motivation. This column will focus on my strength approach, which represents my daily essentials. Read on for inspiration to help optimize your health and wellness journey.

Pumping Iron can boost your metabolism so you burn more calories throughout the day and build muscle to keep the body looking lean and toned.

Fueling up wisely will help you get the right balance of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. This will allow you to feel your best, have plenty of energy, and help you handle stress better.

Staying committed will prioritize health and happiness in your life. Embrace the initial effort that will be needed to make the lifestyle changes and you will reap the benefits of the result!

Hydrating with water keeps your skin looking smooth and radiant! Water helps your kidneys and liver function at their peak and reduces the number of fat deposits in the body.

Getting plenty of rest helps you avoid energy slumps during the day and allows the mind to repair itself and develop new connections.
