Healthy Lifestyle Gadgets
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to let wellness take a backseat. However, integrating the right tools into our daily routines can profoundly transform our approach to health. Investing in time-saving gadgets simplifies the complexities of maintaining a healthy lifestyle! These innovative tools are not just gadgets; they are partners in our journey towards a healthier, more balanced life. In this week's newsletter, we'll explore some of the key gadgets that have made a significant difference in my own health routine, and how they can do the same for you.
In this blog, I will share my favorite tried and true healthy lifestyle gadgets.
Here are my top Gadget Recommendations
This is probably the most commonly used item in our kitchen. We have a family of five and every one of us makes some sort of blended meal/snack daily. From protein shakes to smoothies to dips like hummus or guac, we use this tool all the time! I love that I can purchase several cups and blades, so that we don’t ever have to wash or wait for one to get out of the dishwasher. The Ninja is the only single-use blender that can keep up with the large demand that we have. I love this time-saving tool!
I will never go back to a crockpot that doesn’t have this feature. Many recipes call for sauteeing your onions, garlic and meat prior to putting ingredients in the slowcooker. This means you have to use a pot/pan and that means extra clean up duty. This crockpot allows you to do everything in one pot! I actually want to get a second one of these tools for when I do batch cooking for freezer meals. It’s so efficient!This is a great hack - a time-saver in the kitchen for sure. Instead of using a fork in one hand a knife in the other hand and sawing to cut your food, this tool alone does the trick! From chicken breasts to sandwiches to pancakes, this tool is versatile and gets the job done effortlessly! Its original use is for cutting pizza, but we use it for just about anything under the sun, and when we finish, it goes right in the dishwasher! It’s safe to use, easy to cut and a cinch to clean.
Planning is the key when it comes to family dinners. I love to use this board to help me outline the week’s meals and also let the family know what to expect. I have gone through phases of using this board to track kids’ chores etc. I also ask that when we run out of a staple pantry item or household item, that a family member writes down that item on this board so that I can quickly glance and know what to add when I make the grocery list.
Having protein cooked and ready to go is a key to healthy eating. Carbs and fats are found without much trouble or effort - just open your pantry and you’ll see both of those macronutrients are found in abundance. Eggs are one of the best sources of protein, and having hard boiled eggs on hand makes for a great addition to a breakfast, lunch or snack. Often when I boil eggs, I tend to overcook them because I get distracted and leave them on the stove too long. I love this rapid egg cooker because it perfectly boils the eggs to perfection and all 6 are ready at one time. You can peel them and keep them in the fridge for several days or use them on a cobb salad or egg salad!
I have been wearing this ring for sleep-tracking for almost three years now. It’s been a game-changer in my health! I feel so empowered with up-to date knowledge about my body. Here’s what I love about this tool:
It’s comfy and so easy. I can’t even tell I’m wearing it to bed (unlike other wearables).
The in depth data about my own sleep patterns. I know how much deep sleep, how much REM, what my body temp is, etc
It tracks my readiness - showing me if I am overtrained or well-rested.
It tracks my body temperature, my recovery, my activity and my resting heart rate.
I can wear it while lifting weights/swimming/showering, and it doesn’t bother me at all.
The ring is an investment, but in my opinion, it’s worth every penny. Use my link for $40 off!
This mattress cover changed my life. I was waking up drenched in the middle of the night and was desperate to find a solution. Since getting the Eight, I have not had to change my night clothes once!!
It is temperature-controlled and is personalized to each side of the bed so you and your partner sleep better every night. Once we found the perfect temperature (-6 for me and +2 for him),we fall asleep and stay asleep every night. The Pod can cool or warm each side of the bed as low as 55°F and as high as 110°F so depending on the weather outside, you can always get into a cozy bed.
I also love the vibration and thermal alarm so I wake up gently every morning, and don’t worry about my noisy alarm waking my husband.
It’s pricey, but you and your sleep are worth it!! The link above is good for $250 off!
