🧂 TODAY’S BELLA VOI NUTRITION FACT

“Plot twist: the salt shaker isn’t always the salty one. 👀🧂”

A lot of our sodium can come from packaged and prepared foods, so something doesn’t have to taste super salty to contain a decent amount.

Here’s the ridiculously easy label trick: 5% Daily Value or less = low sodium; 20% or more = high sodium. The FDA Daily Value is less than 2,300 mg per day for adults and children age 4+.

💚 Bella Voi takeaway: When you’re choosing between two similar foods—soups, sauces, deli meats, frozen meals, dressings—flip them over and compare sodium per serving. Same dinner. Smarter swap. No sad, flavorless chicken required. 😂

“Small beans. BIG benefits. Tiny little overachievers. 😂”

Beans, peas and lentils are one of those foods that quietly show up with a pretty impressive résumé: plant protein + fiber + several vitamins and minerals in the same food. USDA guidance includes them among protein-food choices, and the FDA’s reference Daily Value for fiber is 28 g/day on a 2,000-calorie diet.

And nope—you do not have to turn dinner into a sad bowl of health food. 😂 Toss beans into tacos, salads, soups, chili, eggs or rice bowls.

💚 Bella Voi takeaway: Try adding about ½ cup of beans to one meal today. Nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated to be useful.

✨ “Your food label has cheat codes. You just have to know how to read them.” ✨

Here’s one of the easiest ones: 5% vs. 20%. 👀

On a Nutrition Facts label, 5% Daily Value or less = LOW in that nutrient, while 20% Daily Value or more = HIGH. The FDA recommends using this little trick to look for foods higher in things like fiber, vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium, while generally choosing foods lower in saturated fat, sodium and added sugars.

And fiber deserves a little extra love. 💚 The FDA Daily Value for dietary fiber is 28 grams per day based on a 2,000-calorie diet—although individual needs vary so make it correct for you caloric intake.

🔥 LET’S TALK ABOUT COOKING OILS… because the oil you use every day matters.

Seed oils like soybean, corn, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed and cottonseed oil are everywhere — especially in fast food, fried foods, chips, packaged snacks, sauces and highly processed foods.

You may have heard that seed oils automatically cause inflammation because they contain omega-6 fats. The science is actually a little more complicated than that. Human studies have not consistently shown that linoleic acid itself increases inflammatory markers. (PubMed)

BUT 👀 here’s where I still want you paying attention:

🔥 Oils repeatedly heated during deep frying can oxidize and degrade.
🍟 Seed oils are heavily represented in ultra-processed and fried foods — foods we already know we should be limiting.
⚖️ Your overall balance of whole foods, healthy fats, omega-3s and processed foods matters far more than obsessing over one ingredient.

So what do I personally love seeing people cook with?

🫒 Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Amazing for sautéing, roasting, dressings and everyday cooking. One of the most researched oils for cardiovascular and metabolic health.

🥑 Avocado Oil
Great neutral flavor and excellent for higher-temperature cooking.

🥥 Coconut Oil
Fine occasionally when the flavor works — but because it is high in saturated fat, I wouldn’t make it your primary everyday oil.

🧈 Butter or ghee
Perfect for flavor and occasional cooking, but again — think moderation rather than making saturated fats your only fat source.

And YES… you can cook with extra virgin olive oil. 🫒🔥 You do NOT have to reserve it only for salad dressing.

The goal isn’t to become afraid of food.

It’s to start replacing some of the fried, processed, packaged stuff with real food prepared with quality fats.

Your body doesn’t need perfection.

It needs better choices made consistently. 💚

✨ Eat more food that looks like food.
✨ Cook at home more often.
✨ Prioritize olive oil, avocado oil, nuts, seeds and omega-3 rich foods.
✨ Limit repeatedly fried and ultra-processed foods.

Little swaps add up. 🫶

🍬 Did You Know?

Your body is incredibly smart—but it wasn’t designed for the amount of added sugar found in many American foods and drinks.

At any given moment, your bloodstream normally carries only about 1 - 2 teaspoon of glucose. When you consume a high carb meal or sugary drink, or dessert, your body has to quickly release insulin to move that extra sugar out of your blood and into your cells or store it for later.

When this happens over and over again, or in large quantities it can contribute to:
✨ Energy crashes
✨ Increased cravings
✨ Weight gain (signals fat storage)
✨ Insulin resistance over time
✨ Higher risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic problems

The goal is to not eat additional sugar—and to be hyper aware of how much you’re consuming.

💚 Small changes make a big difference:
• Choose water instead of soda.
• Eat protein with your meals.
• Read nutrition labels. Many companies hide sugar in their food so you crave them more and more!
• Save sweets for occasional treats instead of daily habits.

Your body works hard for you every single day. Give it the fuel it deserves. 🌿

🥓 What You’re Looking At…

This is what’s left behind after cooking bacon.

Many people see it as flavor. I see it as a reminder of what we’re asking our bodies to process.

That thick, waxy grease is loaded with saturated fat, oxidized fats (from high-heat cooking), and compounds from processed meat that, when eaten regularly, have been linked to increased inflammation and a higher risk of heart disease, certain cancers, and metabolic disease.

Does eating bacon once in a while mean you’re unhealthy? Absolutely not.

But if foods like this are a daily habit, your body pays the price over time.

✨ Every meal is either moving you closer to health… or further away from it.

Choose foods that nourish your cells, reduce inflammation, and give your body what it needs to thrive—not just survive.

💬 What’s one unhealthy food you’ve cut back on that made you feel noticeably better?

✨ Wellness isn’t just about what you eat… it’s about how you live.

I’ve always believed true health starts long before the scale changes.

🌿 Fruits = Electricity ⚡️
🥬 Vegetables = Grounding 🌎
🌱 Herbs = Deep Healing 🌸
🥜 Nuts & Seeds = Building 💪

But there’s another piece we don’t talk about enough…

Living with intention.

Just like the moon moves through phases, so do we. Let’s view the pattern. We know from the moon it moves the tides therefore suggesting it gives energy to something, right? Can we use it for our daily prayers? Yall wanna try it with me together?

Look at the masculine feminine patterns. Yin is feminine, Yang is masculine. Yin receives and Yang is physical.

Yang: 🌒 New Moon = Set your intentions

Yin: crescent moon  🌓 = relax, and breeze learn to receive. 

Yang: 🌓 1st Quarter Moon = take a discerning action to support your intention. This is motion, the doing.

Yin: 🌔 gibbous moon = Trust the timing.

Yang: 🌕 Full Moon = move forward with intention or accept it that it was not the right time. This is your time to course correct.

Yin: 🌑 Disseminating moon = Practice gratitude.

Yang: 🌖third-quarter moon equals give back from a place of abundance. Tithing

Yin: 🌙Balsamic Moon = Reflection with thanks for the manifestations you experienced no matter how big or small.

🌘 Reflect, restore, and begin again.

Every morning, ask yourself:

✨ What do I want to create today?
✨ What opportunities might life be bringing me today?

At Bella Voi, we believe wellness is more than weight loss, skincare, or aesthetics. It’s about becoming the healthiest, strongest, and most aligned version of yourself—inside and out.

✨ MOTS-c: Exercise in a Bottle? ✨

What if you could activate some of the same cellular pathways that exercise turns on—even when life gets busy?

MOTS-c is a mitochondria-derived peptide that has been studied for its ability to support:

💪 Energy production
🔥 Metabolic flexibility
🍭 Healthy glucose utilization
🏃 Exercise performance and endurance
🧬 Cellular resilience and recovery

Think of MOTS-c as a messenger that helps your cells respond more efficiently to metabolic stress, similar to what happens during exercise. While it can never replace movement, it may help support the same systems that make exercise so powerful for overall health and longevity.

The goal isn’t to do less exercise—it’s to help your cells perform better when you do. 🚀

✨ Better energy.
✨ Better metabolic health.
✨ Better recovery.

Your mitochondria are the powerhouses of your cells. MOTS-c helps them remember how to work smarter, not harder.

📍 Available at Bella Voi Weight Loss & Wellness
