Food is either the best medicine or worst poison for your body. Choose wisely! #fitfarmingtonmo

Rather than counting calories, start to read labels. If you don’t recognize something as food, neither will your body. Processed foods cause inflammation and inflammation is the beginning of disease. Eat REAL foods! #fitfarmingtonmo

What are your health and fitness goals for this year? Whatever your goal is, make it very specific and easily measured as you’re more likely to stick with it. Rather than saying, I’m going to drink more water, say, I’m going to drink a glass of water before I eat each meal and two in between, as this is more specific. Let’s knock our 2021 health goals out of the park! #fitfarmingtonmo

Get out and experience our local parks in the winter. Winter hiking is beautiful and there are no bugs or humidity. #fitfarmingtonmo

CRANBERRIES! Cranberries and the holidays go hand in hand. They are so good for our bodies! Do a quick Google search and you will find a myriad of cranberry recipes that are easy to make but packed with goodness. Even something as simple as chilling pure cranberry juice and pure apple juice, Mix them 50/50 and then pour into a glass with ice - about halfway. Fill the other half with seltzer water. Garnish with fresh cranberries and a Rosemary sprig. Drink up! #fitfarmingtonmo

Merry Christmas from all of us here at Fit Farmington!

This week is National Hand Washing Awareness Week. Many of us have focused on this healthy habit more this year than ever before. Experts suggest to wash at least 20 seconds to make sure you kill germs. Some suggest singing Happy Birthday or the Alphabet Song to measure the length of time you wash. #washyourhands #nationalhandwashingawarenessweek #fitfarmingtonmo

In celebration of #givingtuesday, give yourself the gift of health. It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and you’re worth it. #fitfarmingtonmo
