How to Eat Healthier in 2020
With each new year, we tend to set new resolutions for ourselves. We all want to step out on the right foot, change bad habits from the previous year, and improve the outlook for the next 365 days ahead. It should be no surprise that one of the most popular goals people focus on is eating healthier.  If you’re looking for the 'New Year, New You’ mindset, you’re definitely not alone. That’s why we reached out to Khalid Saeed, D.O. of Tampa Bay Concierge Doctor for his insight on how to eat healthier in 2020 and actually stick to it.
Tumblr media
"We’ve all heard the cliché - 'You are what you eat.' What you put into your body affects how you feel overall and how you live your life. For example, eating fried or greasy foods can make you feel sluggish, have a skin breakout, and upset your stomach. Food equals mood! That's not to say you should never indulge. You want to set your body up for success so you can have pizza every now and then. That means taking time in your day to nourish your body properly. You get out what you put in!” - Khalid Saeed, D.O.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins are produced by plants and animals, and are the essential building blocks our bodies need to sustain life and make sure our cells are functioning properly. Minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, are inorganic and come from rocks, soil, or water. Humans absorb them by eating a plant or animal that has lived in that environment.
Vitamins B, C, D, and E are the most commonly talked about vitamins, so here's a quick breakdown of what they do: 
 B vitamins can help you support the conversion of food to fuel.
Vitamin C is most commonly found in citrus fruits. It plays a role in supporting immune function.
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient needed to support your bones and immune system.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps your cells fight off free radicals.
Make it a habit to include a multivitamin in your daily routine. A diet rich in vitamins and minerals should also be at the top of your list. Eat fruits like grapefruit, papaya, kiwi, oranges, and mangos. Eat leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, and legumes. Most importantly, don't forget to hydrate!
Probiotics Eating foods with probiotics is a game changer. Probiotics are good bacteria that help maintain the community of microorganisms that naturally live in your body (also known as a microbiome). Our microbiome plays a major role in making sure the daily operations of the human body go smoothly. Probiotics help keep your microbiome happy. While you can take probiotic supplements, an easy way to get what you need is by eating particular foods. Anything fermented like kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, kombucha, yogurt, and kefir contain helpful probiotics that help support digestive and  immune health.
Proteins and Antioxidants
The body uses protein to build and repair tissues and make enzymes and hormones. Protein is also an essential building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Eat chicken, turkey breasts, and fish, like salmon, tuna, halibut, and cod. Eggs (especially egg whites) are full of protein. Vegans can opt for tofu, lentils, chickpeas, beans, nuts, and chia seeds to name a few. Antioxidants are important for overall health because they fight oxidative stress in the body. Some of the most delicious foods contain tons of antioxidants. These include blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, red grapes, artichokes, dark chocolate, beans, plums, dark leafy greens, and pecans. Health never tasted so good!

5 Ways to Improve Your Mental Health
This year is not what any of us would have predicted and is likely taking a larger toll on our mental health than we would care to admit. So, today let’s take some time to check in with ourselves and see if there’s anything we could be doing a little bit better to take care of ourself. Let’s face it, we only have one body and one chance to treat it well. That’s why we’re sharing five ways to improve your mental health during a global pandemic, or really anytime at all.
Tumblr media
1 - Prioritize Sleep:
Sleep is crucial to our mental and physical health. We don’t all need a lot of sleep but we do need to prioritize a few hours of deep restful REM sleep. A few ways to do this are cutting out caffeine at a certain time in the afternoon, eat a balanced diet and keep your bedroom dark, quiet and cool.
2 - Incorporate Exercise:
There are so many benefits to exercise and one of them is its effect on your mental health. When you work out your body releases endorphins which makes you feel good and happier. It also impacts your sleep, which we already learned helps with mental health as well. If you need a little motivation visit our friends over at Core Collective or Infinity Fitness Memphis. 
3 - Get Creative:
Sometimes as adults we forget we’re allowed to have fun too. Think about the last time you did something creative just for fun. Was it painting, crafting, cooking or maybe writing? Set aside some time to simply get creative. This will help you get out of your head and remove yourself from your stress even if it is just for an hour.
4 - Practice Mindfulness:
Tumblr media
I’m sure you’re aware of the concept of “being present,” and have had moments in your life you remember feeling fully present. Well, the ability to experience that has a lot to do with mindfulness, and a higher level of our awareness that comes with practice. Practicing mindfulness has many benefits and one of them is its impact on our mental health. Want to give it a try?
Our friends at The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art invite you on June 12 to explore a variety of mindfulness and creative practices through virtual art-viewing and art-making with the art therapist, Paige Scheinberg, MS, ATR-BC. Click HERE to register now! 
5 - Treat Yourself:
Self care is an important part of improving your mental health. We often put ourselves and our needs on the back burner for work the needs of others, but the reality is if we do not continue to refill our own cup we will have nothing left to give. What does self care look like for you? Is it an appointment at Levy Dermatology? Or maybe shopping for new shoes at Joseph?
We want to hear from you! How do you improve your mental health? Share your tips with us in the comments of our recent post on Instagram!

Homeschooling Tips from an Experienced Multi-Tasking Mama
Our nation and local Treasure Valley community continue to face the unimaginable impact of Covid-19 and the resulting changes to all of our lives. We recently asked TSG Boise members to share the ways they’ve adjusted and are adapting through our #stayconnectedBOISE campaign. While the reality of homeschooling children is quite the adjustment to many right now, Volume 3 Member Anna Logan (Owner and Designer behind Flying China Tableware + Decor Rental), has over four years of experience. Below she generously shares her tips on how she manages to juggle a small business and day-to-day life all while homeschooling her two young children. 
Tumblr media
1. WORK WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT
Most stores are closed, but we still have Winco and Home Depot! Cooking and gardening are great tools to work with math and science. This week we planted seeds and measured and divided our garden boxes into sections. We also made rice krispy treats and cookies and dropped them off on our neighbors’ doorsteps. Cooking and yard work involve fractions, measuring, following directions, and working as a team.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2. INVOLVE YOUR KIDS IN ONE OF YOUR HOBBIES OR SKILLS 
I’m using this week to teach my nine and seven-year-old to use the washing machine and dryer. My husband builds motorcycles as a hobby and taught the kids how to rebuild the front forks on a dirt bike (he’s a lot more exciting than I am). But what do those things have to do with academics? In doing the laundry, my kids and I had conversations about temperature, cause and effect, and color mixing. In rebuilding the dirt bike, my husband talked about physics, the metric system, and the application of leverage. Whatever you are doing, there is always a way to connect it to meaningful ideas and experiences.
Tumblr media
3. KEEP IT MINIMAL 
Do not even try and replicate a public school day. As schools begin to supply work, keep your intentional homeschool time to two or three hours per day at most (junior high and high school students will need more time depending on the type of classes they have). Minimizing burnout is more important than getting all the worksheets done. Believe me.
As we’re all sheltering in place, my biggest encouragement is for you to invite your kids into your daily life. Whatever you like to do (or have to do), have your children do it with you. It will take longer, but you will feel a huge connection with your kids. What they learn from you is invaluable and can’t be taught in school!
- ANNA LOGAN

HUNTSVILLE CHEAT SHEET: Dawn’s guide to living local
Known as “Rocket City” for the integral role it played in helping to launch the Space Race in the mid-20th century, Huntsville, Alabama, has been attracting the top minds in space and rocket science for decades. The small—but rapidly growing—city in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains is home to (and possibly best known for) NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the U.S. Space and Rocket Center, and Space Camp. However, according to The Scout Guide Huntsville Editor Dawn Pumpelly, there is plenty to stimulate both the right and left side of the brain in her city, which is why she’s so proud to call Huntsville home. Whether you are visiting the city for the first time, are a new-comer, or are sharing local with some guests, here she provides an itinerary for a crowd-pleasing family trip that checks every box: educational, inspiring, and full of hidden gems.
Tumblr media
How to Do Huntsville’s Rocket Science Scene Right: “The very first thing you have to do when you come to Huntsville is visit the U.S. Space & Rocket Center,” says Dawn. “The Space industry is what put Huntsville on the map, and USSRC shares that history.”
In the park surrounding the building, you can wander among 27 missiles and rockets. Inside, visit one of the largest collections of rockets and space memorabilia on display anywhere in the world and enjoy the new Intuitive Planetarium, an 8K Digital Planetarium and Digital Dome Experience - the only one of its kind in the Southeast. Dawn’s family loves the simulators, especially the Space Shot. This simulates a rocket launch, moving 140 feet straight up into the air in just two and a half seconds. “You get a great view of the entire area—if you can keep your eyes open,” says Dawn.
Tumblr media
Space Camp is another big draw for visitors to Huntsville. However, according to Dawn, not many people know that Space Camp for families is an option. That means all of you can shack up in the Camp’s famous pod-like habitats, just like what you would live in on Mars. During camp, you and your family will launch on a simulated mission to the International Space Station, train like astronauts, and build your own rocket. There’s also the opportunity to have lunch with a real astronaut (pro tip: Dawn recommends indulging in the astronaut ice cream).
Tumblr media
How to Make the Most of Huntsville’s Music and Arts Scene: When you’ve had your fill of space and rocket science, Dawn recommends visiting her favorite hidden gem in Huntsville to listen and let loose with some live music, Tangled String Studios (2211 Seminole Drive). This acoustic guitar and mandolin shop is run by a former NASA engineer. If you’re lucky enough to be in town during one of the studio’s concerts, don’t miss it. “Because the shop makes instruments for some of the most well-known performing artists in Nashville, they are able to bring in a rotating lineup of world-class talent to play intimate shows in the Live Room,” says Dawn. The Live Room only seats about 100 people, so the experience is up close and personal, and the acoustics are fantastic. Make sure to bring your own wine and snacks to round out the evening.
Incidentally, Dawn’s favorite local snack can be found just two doors down from Tangled String Studios, at Pizzelle’s Confections (2211 Seminole Drive, #4A). Owned by two sisters, this shop sells handmade artisan chocolates and truffles (Dawn’s favorite truffle is “nutty by nature”), homemade candy bars, and custom cakes. For the perfect accompaniment to your truffles, pick up a bottle of red wine at Church Street Wine Shop (501 Church Street). While you’re there, Dawn recommends ordering some tapas and enjoying a wine tasting. If you prefer tea to wine, pop into local favorite Piper and Leaf Artisan Tea Co. (2211 Seminole Drive Southwest) for a soothing cup of tea after a show—they’re open until 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
Tumblr media
When Dawn has out-of-town visitors, she always takes them to Lowe Mill (2211 Seminole Drive), the largest privately owned art space in the country. Housed in a 171,1000 square-foot former mill that a private investor purchased and transformed into studios for local artists, Lowe Mill is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday. On those days, visitors can walk (download our walking tour here) through the 250 studio spaces, chat with artists and makers, and purchase art and wares. “They have everything from stained glass art to cigar box guitars, plus a few little food spots and live music on the dock on Friday nights in the spring and fall,” says Dawn. “It’s really a treasure.” Be sure to visit Vertical House Records while you’re there, one of Dawn’s favorites. Download and listen to a recent Vertical House playlist here.
Tumblr media
Where to Dine: For breakfast, you won’t regret driving a few minutes outside of town to get a cinnamon roll at Hamley Bake Shoppe (12023 Highway 231 431 North, Meridianville, Alabama). “Order a pan in advance—it’s the perfect local gift for a hostess,” says Dawn. Dawn recommends treating yourself to a traditional Southern lunch at Lyn’s Gracious Goodness (2306 Whitesburg Drive). This mother-daughter-run lunch spot and catering company has a must-try chicken salad, delicious deviled eggs, and mint sweet tea worth splurging on. “Lyn and her daughter LeeLee are the perfect Southern ladies,” says Dawn. “If you pop in, be sure to tell them I say hey!” Like LeeLee’s food? Check out her very own signature strawberry and make it yourself!
Tumblr media
For a casual, intimate lunch or dinner experience, Dawn recommends Domaine South (103 North Side Square) where the motto is “life should be delicious.” Come as you are and expect fantastic wine and chef prepared sandwiches, entrees, charcuterie boards and desserts. Dawn recommends that you call for a reservation.
Tumblr media
Church Street Purveyor (201 Jefferson Street North) is the place to go for a drink and stay for supper. Every detail at this place sets the ambience, from a cocktail menu presented in a vintage book to the stained glass windows. Dawn recommends the tuna tacos (order them in lettuce wraps for a healthier option, she says), drunken guacamole, and the “Rosie the Riveter” seasonal cocktail, made with sparkling wine.
Tumblr media
Where to Shop: After all that space and art exploration, a little retail therapy is in order. Dawn recommends a stroll along Clinton Avenue in downtown Huntsville for some browsing. Elitaire Boutique (114 Clinton Avenue East) has a wonderful collection of women’s styles with the option to call ahead for an appointment with personal stylist and owner, Kayla Adams. Check out Elitaire’s Lookbook here.
Tumblr media
And Dawn says a Clinton Avenue shopping experience can’t be complete without a visit to Roosevelt & Co. (114 Clinton Ave. Suite 102), which offers the best selection and styles in men’s clothing in town. Click here for Roosevelt’s tailored clothing tips.
Tumblr media
If interiors are more your thing, then wander over to Brooks and Collier (813 Meridian Street), Golden Griffin (104 Longwood Drive Southeast), and The Topiary Tree (1801 University Drive Northwest). “Between these three spots, all within a few miles of each other, I would be shocked if there was something on your wish list you couldn’t find,” says Dawn.
Tumblr media
Last but not least, Dawn says the kids (and husband) will enjoy a trip to MidCity (5901 University Drive) which is currently under construction as one of the country’s 12 largest real estate developments. Currently, it features Top Golf, REI, Highpoint Climbing and Fitness, Dave and Busters with more coming soon.
Where to Stay: The Westin Huntsville (6800 Governors West Northwest) is located very close to the Space & Rocket Center at the Bridge Street Town Centre, an open-air mall with restaurants, major retailers, and a carousel. The AC Hotel Downtown (435 Williams Ave SW) is adjacent to Big Spring International Park (200 Church Street) and many of the shops and restaurants Dawn recommends. And while it’ll be a while before they are open, Dawn is already looking forward to the Curio hotel, which will be located in an historic building in downtown Huntsville soon—another reason to come back for a visit!
