I don’t know about you, but I am too busy to consider myself a health fanatic. No I am not gym crazy, I dont do 5ks, I will not lie and say I have a healthy food regimen or diet either. I am trying to be healthy…but life is getting the best of me. Cookies and chocolate is getting the best of me sometimes don’t judge me. I feel like I am on the go too much to be as consistent as I want to get in the “healthy groove”, but I am getting old and my body’s metabolism is slowing up; mother natures way of telling me I need to do better with my body and overall health. I think there is a misconception of what health looks like and how it should be done. It isnt all about daily cardio and sweat for fitness to be “healthy”. There are other ways to stay healthy and have a overall well being with other alternatives too.
So before you beat yourself up for not having a gym membership or if counted all your steps today and calories, I came up with 6 Easy Health Hacks for Ladies (Like Me) Who Are Trying To Do Better. You have to start somewhere right? I hope this list makes it less intimidating for you.
#1 Morning Detox Shots
Do you absolutely hate mornings like me? Don’t be so quick to grab that morning coffee daily, we all know how caffeine is the opposite way to start your day health wise. If you need a better way to perk up and help you detox impurities out of your system I highly recommend the ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) morning detox shot. It also help you burn calories and get rid of bloating so drinking this on a regular basis will slim you down naturally! You can make this as a full drink, but a shot will be the quick boost to get you going. You can use ACV solo as a shot alone or mix AVC, lemon, raw honey and a pinch of cayanne pepper to crank your shot up a notch. Do this every morning for an energy boost and system rejuvenation.

#2 Ginger For Periods
Raise your hand if you still get period cramps. I do, especially on day one and it makes me hate being a woman I wanna rip my ovaries out! Since that isn’t an option I decide to research a more holistic way to get rid of cramps verses popping an aspirin or ibuprofen. I figure out Ginger works just as effectively if not better than your over the counter miracle pill! Its a natural anti-inflammatory root that will help you get to the “root” of your menstrual cramping. Homemade Ginger Tea will do the trick: boil water, add ginger lemon slices and squeeze a teaspoon of honey – stir it together to get rid of your cramps naturally.

#3 Smoothie Bowls
Smoothie Drinks are so yesterday. Smoothie Bowls are the new black. There are people who supplement smoothie drinks as a meal, but a smoothie bowl is an enhanced snack/meal. Ditch your boring bowl of oatmeal and vamp up your breakfast or midday snack.

#3 Infused Ice Cubes
I love detox water and a great way to drink your water is with infusing it. You can using infuse your water overnight with any fruit, cucumber,mint,etc…but I figured what if batches of infused ice cubes were made. It would make drinking infused water easily, as the ice melted you will get your detox water this way! Simple!
#4 Oil Pulling
I know this sounds weird but oil pulling is a method to pull the toxins and impurities out of your mouth. People were oil pulling before there was a such thing as toothpaste and whitener, so yes this is an awesome way to improve your oral health as well. It will seem kind of gross at first but overtime you will see the prolong benefits. Just get a tablespoon of pure virgin coconut oil/olive oil and swish it in your mouth for 5-10 mins (the oil will get thicker in your mouth . The longer the better, then proceed to spit out the oil. Do this daily after brushing your teeth for improved oral heath.
#5 Vitamins on the Go
I think one of the most important things about being and staying healthy is making sure you have the right nourishment you need in your body. Taking a daily supplement in is beneficial. I recommend Centrum VitaMints for daily intake to start the habit of getting the necessary vitamins in your system. Take Centrum VitaMints Raspberry multivitamins any time of day with or without food or water to provide your body with essential vitamins and minerals that support energy, immune system, better metabolism, and overall well-being.* Good thing about this vitamin is that there is no bad aftertaste and it something you can take with you on the go. So if you are busy like me, you can travel with you multivitamin and freshen your breath at the same time (innovative)!

Centrum Raspberry Vitamints in Mint chewable form!
Take my vitamins on the go – perfect to fit in my travel beauty bag for my purse.
I personally take my Raspberry Vitamints with me, because knowing me I will forget to take it before I leave the house. So I love this concept of a multivitamin that doubles as a mint too! This fits perfectly in my travel beauty bag with all of my other essentials to go inside my purse.
Found in Walmart in the Health/Vitamin Section
Enjoy staying healthy with simple solutions like Centrum Gummies and Raspberry Vitamints which you can find these in the Walmart Health section where the vitamins are located. Make sure you get your money saving coupon on these here.
Centrum Gummies and Vitamints are great daily multivitamin. If you are like me horse pills are difficult for me to swallow, yes even as a grown adult. So happy Centrum made these alternatives to swallowing pills. The Centrum Gummies are also great as they taste like gummi bears. Taking my vitamins like a kid or teenager is fine with me. Gives me more incentives to take it, no excuse!
I hope these 6 health hacks inspire you with alternatives of a healthier lifestyle. Its not all about stressing yourself over how many salads you ate or how many push-ups you can do without fainting. Personally I still would love to come up with better meal plans for myself and take a consistent cycling class to be healthier and slim down. For me, that isn’t as easy as it seems when I am consistently pressed for time. So these are some simple easy hacks for health and wellness without the stress.
I drink a detox sometimes. It definitely makes me feel better.
Thanks for the great hacks. I will have to pick up some ginger.
I always have Centrum gummies to keep me in my vitamins. Thanks for the heads up on the morning detox shots. Those sound great!
Smoothie bowls are the greatest invention of all time! I love to top mine with all kinds of nuts and fruits.
I’ve never heard of ginger for periods before. I will have to try this sometime. These are great tips.
These are some really clever ideas. I haven’t tried apple cider vinegar shots or oil pulling. I do love Vitamints though!
Smoothie bowls look amazing. Im going to look up a recipe and give it a try
These are all really good tips! I’m gonna have to give a few a try!
I have heard a lot of beneficial things about Apple Cider Vinegar. I haven’t tried it in a detox shot, but it’s worth a try.
Oh, this is going to be very useful for my wife. I am having a hard time seeing her suffer from periods. Thanks for the share!
Wow, looks amazing tips. I really need this and I’m so glad I came across your blog!
I love oil pulling! Such a great way to start the day 🙂 I also do the raw apple cider vinegar, but I use it in my salad dressing instead of taking a shot of it – I used to do that, but I make a salad every day now, so I just put it in there.
Wow those infused ice cubes are so beautiful! Aside from the health benifits I think they are fun!
These are great tips. I have been oil pulling for a while now and also do the hot water, lemon and ACV in the morning. But, I still have to have my coffee or tea.
Great ideas! I’m still not sure I can wrap my head around oil pulling, but the infused ice cubes are a great idea! And so is the detox shot.
These are such great tips, I will have to share them and do some because we are on a mission here in this household to have healthier options and be more active as our weight is getting a bit on the high end due to lack of activity the last couple of years!
I keep hearing about oil pulling and wondered exactly what it was and now I know! I might have to try and give it a whirl. x
I needed number 2 when I had cramps last week. lol. I’ll save that tip for next month though!
My health hack is water! All the time, water water water. I can’t believe the amount of people that drink soda. Ugh. Staying hydrated is key to health!
I Am loving these new vitamins. they are so easy to take.
Great post. You really nailed all the hot trends in health right now.
It’s safe to say that I found something worth bookmarking for my morning rituals! I’m a smoothie person myself s well, I love these recommendations.
Great tips! I use vitamins daily but I like the idea of a chewable all in one for adults.
I’ve been dying to try smoothie bowls. They look delicious. THe fruit ice cubes also look amazing. Have you tried doing a honey and lemon tea as well?
My mom keeps telling me to try oil pulling and I just haven’t thought to actually do it yet! I need to go ahead and give it a shot!
The smoothie cups look really good. I try to be healthy but I also indulge in the desires of my heart. lol I love your travel beauty bag.
The morning detox shots sound interesting. I will save these tips to try later!
Love all the tips, especially the infused ice cubes and the ginger. And I love the idea of vitamin mints.
Thanks for these tips. Do you recommend a certain brand of acv?
Vitamins are always a smart move. I forget to take mine a lot. So it’s just a shot of straight ACV? I might try this, but I’m already tasting it… lol.
Thank you for such great ideas. I put fresh fruit in my water. After I drink it, I get in some of my fruit for the day!
I see smoothie bowls are the big thing now. I am so curious to try one now!
I’m a fan of oil pulling. I’ve been doing it off and off for several years!
I love making smoothie bowls for the kids. They are so filling when you add in all the yummy toppings. Perfect for summer!
You’ve got a good list here. I take my Centrum every single day. 🙂
I have done the ACV and i need to get back to it as bloating is one my issues FOR REAL! With oil pulling, do you do it after your brush or before?
Those ice cubes are absolutely brillant! I am going to try that out today!
All of your suggestions are great! I love Gummy vitamins and somehow NEVER forget to take them like I did with regular tablets. The AVC shots are definitely something that is an acquired taste, but I love them!
Love this! I’m always trying to do better so any shortcuts make my life easier
I love this list! I have heard so much about the apple cider vinegar, I am definitely going to give it a try. And that ginger!!!! Yes ma’am!
All such great tips! I used to do the ACV shots all the time. Thanks for reminding me I need to get back on track.
I’m a fan of aspirin, but ginger root is great. Oregano tea is also very good for cramps.
Great list, I want to try the morning detox shots.
Great tips. I drink ACV. I thought Hulu couldn’t drink it without diluting it because it can strip your teeth.
This a great list of quick and simple health hacks! Some of these are definitely on my list as well! I also like to drink hot green tea after breakfast and lunch, to help digest everything and it has natural antioxidants in it.
This is an awesome list. I love Oil pulling because it really works (when I’m being consistent). I also infuse all my water.
Great post! These are things that I can actually stick to!!
Great health hacks. I love the infusion ice cubes and the travel sized Centrum vitamints, will have to try those soon. I’m doing the apple cider vinegar everyday and it’s helping with my arthritis.
LOVE all of these ideas, will add them to my Pinterest board to remind myself later. I’m not sure if I can do detox shots while pregnant so I’ll have to take a look into that.
