All In A Days Work

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Adya Clarity. All opinions are my own.

For months it felt like no matter what I did, working out, eating right, drinking tons of water, I still couldn’t shake that ‘blah’ feeling, slight fatigue, and aches and pains. I started to contribute it to just getting older, running myself ragged taking care of the kids, working, etc. It wasn’t until I tried Adya Clarity that I realized that everyday toxins in not only our tap water but bottled water as well, were affecting my health.

Most of our water is filled with fluoride. Fluoride accumulates in your body, and causes negative effects over time – such as brain fogs, aches, pains, and fatigue. It is also contaminated with heavy metals – which can cause calcification, kidney stones, liver stones, affect your brain function, and put stress and havoc through your nervous system and causing illness over time. It causes stomach and intestinal problems that can lead to cancer, damage your reproductive system, birth defects, and skin problems.

Yuck right??! Drinking water which our Doctor’s tell us to do more of, can actually be making us sick, and possibly killing us. When I first read this information myself I wasn’t 100% convinced. Water is just water right? But day after day that I’ve continued to use Adya Clarity in all my drinking water I’ve felt better and  better – the aches and pains are minimal, I sleep through the night! I feel refreshed and ready to take on the day each morning – and I’m not ready to drop in my bed like a rock each night. It’s like the first few months when you first started working out – the refreshing feeling of taking care of your body.

Adya Clarity is clinically-proven to reduce heavy metals inside your body. It was tested by certified EPA labs to reduce up to 99% of toxins in your water. Adya was found to reduce Arsenic, Lead and Mercury to undetectable limits. In a 30 day human clinical study, Adya Clarity was found to reduce accumulated Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Aluminum in the human body by an average of 42%.

If you still aren’t convinced, give it a try. You can try a 2 oz bottle for just $25. You will be shocked at the difference it makes in your life – in fact, I believe in Adya Clarity so much that I am giving 1 lucky reader a bottle of their own to try! Just comment below with something you’ve learned about drinking water in the U.S.

#HealthyHabits

As a young girl  I enjoyed being involved in the Brownies/Girl Scout troops with my friends. Not only did we have great fun together, but we did a lot of great stuff for the community. We were also always learning useful life skills – thanks to Girl Scouts I know how to properly sew on a button and make a pair of boxer shorts, balance a checkbook, and make a healthy meal – so I wanted to make sure my girls to have the same great learning experiences (and fun) that I had; so they joined girl scouts as soon as they were able. 

The Girl Scouts still teach all the great things I learned when I was a kid; and they also have adapted to the needs of this generation with their lessons. Kids face a whole new era of challenges that we didn’t even dream about. That is why I am so grateful for the Girl Scouts Healthy Habits Journey – and their partnership with Together Counts™. The Together Counts™ campaign—a nationwide program by the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation to inspire active and healthy living via physical activity and nutrition, a fundamental underpinning of efforts to reduce obesity. The principle behind the program is called Energy Balance, which just means balancing the calories we consume with the calories we expend. Through the use of these free resources for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors, Girl Scout volunteers and families can guide girls in fun, easy ways to achieve “energy balance

o   Energy In: the calories you get from eating and drinking.

o   Energy Out: the calories you burn from physical activities.

You can download a copy of the Healthy Habits Journey here.

• The free booklets help guide girls on their Journey as they learn to lead active, healthy lifestyles.
• Through the use of these free resources for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors, Girl Scout volunteers and families can guide girls in fun, easy ways to achieve “energy balance.”

Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. The percentage of children ages 6-11 yrs in the United States who were obese increased from 7% in 1980 to nearly 18% in 2012. Similarly, the percentage of adolescents aged 12-19 yrs who were obese increased from 5% to nearly 21% over the same period  (information gathered from the  CDC). Our children spend more time in doors then outside. Playing games on the computer, instead of in the back yard. Our food is more processed, and fast food is sometimes more affordable than homemade. The Girl Scout Journey / Together Counts™  gets our girls educated, motivated and moving to break the cycle and become active.
