Hi and happy Feel-Good Monday!
This is where we share our favorite tips, tricks, secrets, and ways to "think like a healthy person" so that you can find your own delicious path to healthy living.
"Feel-Good Mondays" are meant to help us get back into that place of feeling energized, nourished, and ready to take inspired action for the week ahead.
Today's Feel-Good Monday email is sent to you via Asheville, North Carolina!
Matt and I came down here with Rye and my mom for a fun, healthy, outdoor-inspired family vacation.
I am a huge fan of vacation (who isn't?!) and I actually credit our holidays as one of the major players in my own personal health formula.
Pleasure. Fun. Relaxation. Not only does it feel so good, but it's actually really good for you! Conde Nast’s Traveler magazine reported that taking just 2 vacations a year can cut a person’s risk of heart attack by 50%!!
That's right — there is actual evidence that shows that taking an annual (or, ideally, bi-annual) vacation can truly reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
And in a Framingham Heart Study, participants who took the fewest vacations turned out to be statistically most at risk to suffer a heart attack.

So what are you waiting for?! Pack those bags now! (And hey, if you can't get away, a relaxing staycation totally counts — as long as you really relax!)
Check out my favorite snacks to pack for a flight.
I don't live in a little health bubble when I go on vacation: I can promise you, some margaritas will be had this week! But I also do my best to balance out the delicious indulgence with healthier choices, too.
Happy travels!
Love,
