28. Take Time for Yourself
Christmas is a time for family and friends, but you must also take time for yourself. Maybe it is a simple walk around your neighborhood, going to bed early, getting a facial or massage, trying meditation, listening to your favorite music or reading a book. It is important to prioritize your own mental health by relaxing and taking time out from your hectic schedule.
It’s that time of year again when the traffic gets crazier and there are many demands on your time. One aspect of your life must not take a back seat and that is the quality of your sleep. Try and always get a good nights sleep as it is the foundation block of good health. With inadequate sleep your health suffers.
Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being of your mind and body. Sleep is important for the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal, muscular systems, and all other body systems.
Let the countdown begin! Can you believe there are only 30 days till Christmas? We will countdown the next 30 days with some tips so as to hit 2015 ready to make the rest of your life the best of your life.

Hi, I am a Primed Girl. A teen who is sporty, loves food and loves to laugh.
My Parents
My parents have my best interest at heart. I love them but they can be annoying (it’s an old people thing). They have been leading a Primed Lifestyle for around 10 months now and I have been “forced” to go along for the ride because they buy all the food in the house! I actually don’t mind.
All parents want what is best for their children. Yet, it is confusing as to what is really the best in terms of food, discipline and many other factors.

Some things such as city pollution and traffic stress are out of our control. However, we are in control of what we place in our mouths and what goes into our homes. To feed our bodies we aim to be Primed and take great care to eat nutritiously, but what about what goes on your body and in via other ways besides food (toothpaste and perfumes for example)? Can these have a harmful affect on your body?
Your skin is your largest organ and easily absorbs chemicals and other harmful products that come into contact with it. When your skin absorbs these harmful products it then is absorbed into your blood stream. Your mouth is also a direct route to your blood stream.
With this in mind, here are some easy to implement tips to lessen your (and that of your family) contact with harmful products that can have negative health consequences on your hormones, body and mind. Bear in mind that children and youths are at a greater risk than adults.

I am not a scientist and really do not know if a microwave is good or bad. However, I know it does not make my food taste better and has made it worse on a number of previous occasions. I personally believe it actually lessens the nutrients in the food.
Besides, the words to “microwave food” conjures similar words like to to “zap” or “nuke” my food! I don’t want nuked food.
Being Primed for your Life is simply trying to maximize the nutritional quality of your food and drinks so as to feed your mind and body optimally so you can enjoy more time for life. We all want to live well and live long so the better your nutrition the better you will live daily and in the long-term. Nobody is 100% sure whether heating your food in a microwave affects the nutritional value of that food with many varying opinions on this HEATED subject!
However, given the uncertainty on whether a microwave is good or bad (I might be wrong) I think it might be best to err on the side of safety. Yes, a microwave is fast and convenient, but being Primed means taking more time to prepare and enjoy your food.
Why would you even contemplate using a microwave (given the uncertainty of how it might affect the life sustaining nutrients in your food when you have better and safer alternatives.
