The Surprising Effects of Business vs Leisure Travel on Your Health and Well-Being

December 6, 2019 by Joi Leave a Comment

Many things in our lives – often things we don’t even think twice about – have direct effects on our health.

our relationships
the amount of time we sleep
our hobbies
the books we read
the books we don’t read!
our temperament
how much time we spend relaxing

Things that are so routine that we simply don’t give them a second thought. For many people, travel can fall into this bullet point list. Some people travel as often as the rest of us feed our cats! (Okay, maybe not that often, but you get the gist…)

The beautiful infographic below details the effects of travel on your health as well as your mental, physical and emotional well-being. Enjoy!

How to Drink More Water (Infographic)

November 30, 2018 by Joi Leave a Comment

Ever have something you know you SHOULD do, yet struggle getting from SHOULD to DO? While I have a running, ever-changing list of such things, drinking water is one that has been consistent.

For years.

Seriously… years.

There are a million and one health benefits (ranging from healthier lungs to better skin) but this gal just can’t seem to chug the goodness that is water. Not when, oh you know, there are other drinks like tea and coffee (hot or iced, I’m not picky).

I was sent a wonderful infographic to share with you and, ironically, it may be the thing that actually helps me in the process.

The tips toward the end of the infographic sound really useful – maybe so useful that this may be something I kick off my “should do” list soon. If you have a similar struggle, I think you’ll find it just as helpful.

Let’s toast to it! (I’m toasting with iced coffee this time, but next time I’ll toast with water.) ~ Joi (“Joy”)
