Let’s talk about ... The 🍠 one of my all time favorites. I just started meal prepping about 3 weeks ago. And damn straight I add a sweet potato to every meal! Sweet Potatoes are a meaning they are more nutrient than other . Sweet potatoes are a rich source of as well as containing a great array of and including , , , and they're a good source of most of our B and vitamin C.

One of the first things I learned about five years ago when I was working as a personal trainer at 24 hour fitness, was educating potential clients on the Pillars of Fitness.

When it comes down to it, health and fitness is broken into four pillars. Exercise, Diet, Mental, and Rest.

These four pillars sound very simple, yet the more people I sat down with and elaborated on the pillars, the more I found people were missing at least one and even sometimes several pillars. These pillars work together, and are a huge key to support and maintain your overall health.

I will be going over all four of these equally important pillars in the next couple of weeks.

Today I want to focus on Rest. (this pillar goes hand and hand with recovery, which I will dive deeper into another time)It’s reported that about 68% of adults don’t get enough sleep. Since all of these pillars are equally important for overall health, and if you have one of these pillars missing, you’re already sitting on the edge of your health.

The top concerns with lack of sleep, (which is classified as getting less than 6 hour per night) is weight gain, high blood pressure, and decrease in immune system power.

I want to share tips that I learned from a Harvard Medical Study, (link posted below with more details) that will help you overcome any sleeping deficiencies and get you on the right track to have all four of your pillars holding your health up strong.

1. Go to bed and wake up at the same exact time everyday.
2. Use the bed only for sleep & S*x.
3. Cut Down on Caffeine.
4. Be physically active.
5. Limit Daytime napping.
6. Quit to***co.
7. Be cautious of Alcohol consumption.
8. Improve your sleeping surroundings.
9. If you can’t sleep, do something relaxing like read/meditate.
10. Avoid taking Sleeping Medication.
