Day 6: Give! Giving has shown to increase dopamine levels making it a win/win! Give your time, give something needed, give undivided / uninterrupted attention! Involve your kids as this will show them the gift of kindness. Include them when visiting a family member or when donating your time. Put your phone down and give them your attention. Be intentional.

In the spotlight of protein and carbohydrates, we often overlook the building blocks of dietary fat, better known as fatty acids. When you consume foods high in dietary fat your body breaks down these fat molecules into very beneficial components. Fat supports a number of functions in the body like healthy cellular integrity, skin elasticity, brain function and nutrient absorption to name a few. Reach for an avocado next time you need to add healthy fats to your meal. 🥑
