When you’re working from home all day, it can be hard to find ways to move around. I feel like I’m cooped up in my bedroom, hunched over my laptop at all hours of the day. By the time 5 PM rolls around, my joints are stiff and I’m in a worse mood than I was when I woke up.

When I first heard about people drinking apple cider vinegar (ACV), I couldn't help but judge them all for hopping on the latest, strangest health trend. It wasn't until my sister mentioned that she had been doing ACV shots every morning that I took the whole thing slightly more seriously.

I did some research of my own and was surprised to find that its benefits ranged from regulating blood sugar to reducing heartburn to improving your digestive health.

So, I decided to give it a try and … yuck - I had a flashback to my first vodka shot in college. Nope, not for me. How could I forget that ACV is actually vinegar - of course, it was going to be awful! I called my sister, and she couldn't stop laughing at my misery. She really hates the taste, which is why she switched to the pill form.

She messaged me the link to Paleovalley's ACV pills, and I was so relieved that there was a better way to do this. Apparently, the pills are even more beneficial than the straight ACV. Plus, they're currently offering new customers their ACV Complex for $4.99 - that's 85% off! (And way less than my morning cup of coffee.)

Here are the 5 things I was surprised to learn.

Paleovalley's Apple Cider Vinegar pills are…

Better in pill form - Forget the fact that ACV tastes awful, vinegar is also too harsh on tooth enamel for everyday use. Save your teeth and taste buds.

Improves with other ingredients - Paleovalley's ACV pills have 4 powerful ingredients: lemon is an immunity booster, Ceylon cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar, turmeric reduces inflammation, and ginger helps everything.

Cheaper in the long run - the costs of the individual ingredients are much higher than those in the bottle. And now that Paleovalley is offering 85% off for new customers, it comes down to only $4.99 for the full bottle!

Organic - all 5 superfoods are organic, gently processed to preserve benefits, and have zero fillers or flow agents.

Gut-saving - ACV supports digestion and promotes healthy blood sugar.

I was so relieved (and a little smug) to find out that drinking ACV is inferior to taking it in pill form. The additional ingredients are all fantastic health boosters. And as a daily supplement, I really do notice a difference - especially when it comes to my digestion. I now recommend Paleovalley'sACV pills to all my friends who are looking for an easy way to make a healthy change!

Have you heard that around 95% of dieters just give up?

With this in mind, we wanted to see if using Nutrisystem can turn things around. Nutrisystem is one of the most well-known weight loss programs in the country.

But even with its reputation, many people doubt that the food is actually as good as they say, and that it's just that easy to stay on track. What may look easy enough is not always replicable in real life, and there are a lot of programs that are often misleading and hard to follow.

With so many weight loss programs out there, we wanted to see if Nutrisystem was the best of the best. Here's what we found.

A common concern that many face when starting a weight loss program is the need to count calories. Not only is it time consuming, but it's difficult to know the right amounts, and how much that can change. The great thing about Nutrisystemis that it does all the calorie-counting for you. The plans are designed by nutrition experts, and provide you with the right balance of nutrients and the right amount of calories to help you lose weight safely.

Their strategy is to change the way we perceive food and to deliver fully prepared meals full of balanced nutrition. With Nutrisystem, your meal times become more structured without losing variety. Nutrisystem sends a monthly shipment that includes three meals and a snack a day. All the meals are quick and easy to prepare, with many meals ready in minutes.

This is why each Nutrisystem meal is powered with ProSync™, their high-protein, low-glycemic approach to weight loss, to give you all the necessary tools to learn how to achieve lasting results.

The second concern that people have about weight loss programs is that they won't be able to eat their favorite foods anymore. But Nutrisystem doesn't take all the pleasure out of eating.

After 2020, I knew I needed to start focusing more on my health.

I've never been unhealthy, I like to think, but this year has been the laziest of my entire life, and things needed to change. The first step was my fitness.

Halfway through the year, I noticed I didn't have as much stamina as I used to. Before the stay at home order, I would cycle a lot, so I decided to get an at-home exercise bike. Not just that, I decided to get the Peloton. After some research and reading many reviews it was the obvious choice.

I struggled to get into the groove of exercising from home so I looked up some tips, and I discovered how vital sleep was when it comes to exercise and performance. I've been struggling to get a full night's sleep this entire year.

I remembered reading about a smart mattress by a company called Eight Sleep that was listed with the Peloton as one of the "best tech inventions of the year" so I decided to look into it.

The Pod Pro by Eight Sleep is a cooling mattress that incorporates cutting edge technology to give you the most comfortable and effective sleep. One issue I had with my sleep was feeling too warm. When I read that the Pod Pro allows you to control the temperature of either side of the mattress separately, I was even more interested.

The Pod Pro creates a microclimate anywhere between 55 to 110℉. You just set the mattress to whatever temperature suits you best, and the intelligent Pod sensors will adjust to your ideal temperature whenever you need it. My partner and I are always fighting over the AC at night, so it didn't take much convincing.

Our Pod Pro was delivered and we couldn't wait to put it to the test. It was super quick and easy to set up, and the cooling feature was just the beginning. Eight Sleep also has its own app that connects to your mattress where you can track all your sleep metrics.

The Active Grid tracks your vitals such as heart rate, breathing, sleep cycles, and HRV, but also environmental factors like humidity and temperature. All this biometric data is fed into an algorithm so that the Pod continually calibrates exactly what your body needs to stay asleep all night.

First night in the Pod Pro and I couldn't believe how comfortable it was. Not just temperature-wise, but the mattress itself molded perfectly to my back. Turns out, it's a 5-layer premium foam mattress that provides the ideal comfort and support.

It has Comfort Blend™ technology that integrates with the Active Grid water-cooling system for enhanced comfort and pressure-point relief. I fell asleep super quickly that night and actually stayed asleep. My partner was the exact same. We didn't think this was actually possible for us, it had been so long since we had an undisturbed sleep.

We both woke up super refreshed, the first night in a long time we didn't have to fight over the AC remote. Not to mention, this mattress is much quieter than the AC, and even uses up less energy so it saves us money on bills.

A cool thing about the Pod Pro by Eight Sleep is that you don't need a loud alarm anymore. The mattress can wake you up naturally by gradually reducing the temperature. This wasn't something I thought would work but it really does and it's a much nicer way to wake up. We even have it connected to our smart coffee machine so our coffee is already being made when we wake up!

After a few weeks on the Pod Pro by Eight Sleep, I noticed something; I had much more energy and was able to burn more calories on the Peloton. Looking at my sleep metrics on the EightSleep app, it all made sense. Sleep is really important for fitness and health, and the better sleep I get the more energetic and fit I am.

If you're starting to exercise more then you need to start off by getting better sleep. I'd highly recommend the Pod Pro by Eight Sleep for the best night sleep ever. Check it out, you won't regret it.
