Blue light glasses are everywhere right now, but do they actually help you in the long run? When it comes to your sleep they can help as long as their a part of a healthy sleep schedule. You can’t just drink coffee all day and expect the glasses to ease you into a restful sleep! Check out the article at the link below to read more about these glasses and building a healthy sleep schedule.

The goal of creating a NUTRITIONmix is to create a way of eating that you can spend more time "on" than "off" - a "lifestyle", You want your "mix" to be satiating, sustainable, nutritious, and yummy. If you are starving yourself and/or doing some crazy plan where you only drink protein shakes or eat vegetable soup you will eventually cave and binge. Restrictive eating does not serve long-term health.
My personal mix is built upon being aware of what I put in my body, as well as pillars "stolen" from a variety of sources. I limit snacking and aim for a substantial gap between dinner and breakfast — thanks, intermittent fasting. I eat almost exclusively from the "outside of the grocery store" — meaning fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and good-quality fats — thanks, Paleo, and habits formed while being vegetarian. Plus, I eat what I love in moderation. I call this my "love it rule" — thanks, Weight Watchers for the balanced approach. I use what works for me and ignore what doesn't.
Net is, stop searching for the "perfect" diet and instead create an eating plan that works for YOU!
Want more info? Check out my book Your Fittest Future Self or one of the Huffington Post articles on the subject. Links are in my my bio!
Not ready to commit to reading my book or an article? No problem....here are a few "gems"
Before you start creating your plan, ask yourself, "What eating strategies have I used in the past and where have these strategies gotten me?" So many of us become married to falling on and off the same health horse. We adopt a diet, lose weight, fall off the horse, and gain the weight back. Then we start the same process again. If you are always falling off this same horse, learn from it. Just because you have always done something doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. If a strategy I outline resonates with you because that is what you have "always done," note that it might actually be the worst strategy to adopt. We all have our unique flavour of self-sabotage. Ask yourself, "Self, how do I self-sabotage?"
