Healthy Pleasures

My husband sent an article to me the other day which I wanted to share with you. He has been really supportive of my health changes and I thought it was sweet of him to pass this on to me, and no he didn't do it to point out #3 on the list. He actually sent it because I had been stressing how important getting enough sleep was and it just so happens that is number one on this list. This article is a list of 10 little indulgences that bring health benefits. You may or may not agree with them but it was a fun list either way.

10 Healthy Pleasures

1. Getting your zzz's - Shoot for at at least 7-8 hours
2. Playing Hooky - Take some time off, relax
3. Sexual Healing - You can fill this part in for yourself
4. A daily Chocolate fix - Just keep it dark
5. Girl's night out - Time to start planning our next get together ;)
6. Full Fat Dressing - Just keep it within the right amounts
7. Your Morning Java - emphasis on Moderate coffee drinking
8. Getting a Rubdown - I could use one of these right now.
9. Basking in the Sun - Just don't forget the Sunscreen
10. Wine with Dinner - Moderation once again

So go indulge in something healthy and don't feel a bit of remorse about it.

This list comes from CNN Health and here is the link to the full article which I highly encourage you to read.

  1. A vacation without kids - I'd just about kill for one of those, I'm tellin' ya. And can I get a Girls' Weekend, Sue? It might have to be done by the seat of our pants, depending on our husbands' crazy work schedules.

  5. I like it all but I'll just substitute hot chocolate and diet coke for the beverages!!!! Love my sleep, messages, girls nights, chocolate and getting some natural vitamin D.
