A snack I LOVE: Movement Snacks!

This is a SNACK I LOVE: Movement Snacks! 

Are you always on the lookout for the latest health trends? Do you want to keep your body moving but struggle to find the time?

Look no further than the movement snack!

Although this trend was predicted for 2023, it has been around for quite some time and has newfound relevance for menopausal women. As a holistic nutritionist and menopausal woman myself, I am excited to share my thoughts on this trend and how it can benefit us.

What are Movement Snacks?

Movement snacks are small, brief bursts of movement that can be incorporated into your day. Some examples include chair yoga, taking a walk around the block, or doing a few yoga poses on your mat. The idea is to find small moments throughout the day to move your body and avoid prolonged periods of sitting. These snacks are perfect for busy people or those who have joint pain and cannot participate in high-impact exercise.

Why Are Movement Snacks Relevant for Menopausal Women?

As women go through menopause, they may experience joint pain or other physical symptoms that make high-impact exercise difficult. Movement snacks offer a low-impact option for incorporating exercise into your day. Additionally, the small, frequent bursts of movement can help combat the sluggishness and fatigue that often accompany menopause. By incorporating movement snacks into your day, you can improve your circulation, increase your energy levels, and reduce joint pain.

How to Incorporate Movement Snacks into Your Day

Incorporating movement snacks into your day is easy and customizable to your preferences and fitness level. You can do a few stretches while watching TV, take a walk during your lunch break, or do some squats while brushing your teeth. The key is to find moments throughout the day to move your body and avoid prolonged periods of sitting. By doing this, you can reap the benefits of exercise without sacrificing too much time or energy.

The movement snack is an old trend with newfound relevance for menopausal women. By incorporating small, frequent bursts of movement into your day, you can combat the physical symptoms of menopause and improve your overall health. Whether it's walking, stretching, or doing a few yoga poses, find what works for you and make it a part of your daily routine. Remember, it's the small improvements that add up to make a big difference in your health and wellbeing.
