Tip of the Day: Eat Pineapple

Pineapple contains a natural anti inflammatory called bromelain. instead of picking up the bottle of Advil, Tylenol, or Aleve, pick up a pineapple and eat it for great anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Pineapple also has a lot of fiber and also fructose, which is a good sugar!

Hydration: Our bodies are 66% water, so continue to hydrate yourself from the time you wake up in the morning until the time you go to sleep! Try to stick with just water, or water and juice, but make sure the juice has pulp and/or fiber. Dehydration can cause a lot of bad things, cramps, dizziness, fatigue and can even lead to heat exhaustion in extreme conditions. We need water in our bodies for intercommunication between our cells, the lining of our joints (synovial fluid), and our brain and spine (cerebrospinal fluid).
