Welcome to “Being Healthier”
My name is Laural and I am 27. I started this blog as a creative outlet, fascinated by the information I learned every day in my studies. I am finishing a Master of Science in Human Nutrition degree this summer and hold a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. I am also working toward acceptance into the Dietetic Internship, which will lead to credentials as a Registered Dietitian. Connecting with others that have the same passion is what life is all about, in this case, that passion is healthful eating, cooking and living.
“Being healthier” is a concept I found so interesting, because it is something we all say we want but is not exactly measurable. What healthy is to you could be entirely opposite of what is healthy to another person. Do you want to lose weight to be healthier, Is being healthier learning about or eating more superfoods, do you want to move more, maybe you want to gain weight to be healthier ?
Being healthier for me is all about balance. I strongly feel to live a healthy lifestyle, I have to nourish all aspects of my life not just my stomach! I post about foods that I eat and meals that I make, but also post entries about what I do to stay healthier in every aspect of life. Whether my body needs rest, a run, yoga or some strength training, I do something for it each day. In the mind section, you will usually find class information or job searching details. For the soul section, many things fulfill my spirit but it is often yoga, meditation, or friends. Never underestimate the power of friendship.
Be it carrots or carrot cake, hugs and laughter, yoga or aerobics, wine or water, nourishing yourself in the most appropriate way is crucial to staying healthy for life. I try to never attach“good” and “bad” in terms of food. Every food has something to offer as foods are composed of many nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Some foods may offer more nutrients and some might be not so healthy but might be what we need. I hope to share healthier foods, information on vitamins and minerals, and share my journey towards becoming a Dietitian. I appreciate your comments and questions.
