How did the name sakara life come about?
We wanted to bring our philosophies of healthy living to fruition and weren't exactly sure how when we first began, so, we thought we'd start with a name that (in Sanskrit) means the manifestation of thoughts to things.
The health market is so competitive, what was the hardest part about starting the business?
tips of new business owners?
Everything is competitive these days... your job as an entrepreneur is to keep the focus on what you're creating, the competition will always be there and it's actually very important that it is, it drives you. Just believe in what you're doing whole heartedly and (even though some days you won't) always maintain certainty that you will succeed.
I have crazy work life, what are the benefits of snacking?
We're not big on snacking. If you're eating the right foods, your blood sugar should stabilize and you won't have that afternoon slump. It's important that you allow your body to rest between meals so it can fully digest everything before you fill it up again. If you're really hungry, eat something fresh and organic, something with high water content like celery, melon, apples etc. Raw coconut water is also a great option! Also, if you're not eating enough or not getting enough nutrients in your larger meals, you might want to snack more... Eat enough and eat the rainbow.
What is one (or more) ingredients women need to include in their diet?
Love. Seriously, you can eat all the healthy food in the world, but if you're not loving yourself in the process, it can't work its magic. If you have the love, then eat more greens. They change your body, your skin, your mood and your love life... no joke.
What are the challenging part about working together as friends?
Sometimes we forget to check out of work and hang out as friends... so, occasionally, we take time in the office in the middle of the day to check-out of work mode and check-in with one another as friends and soul sisters. Especially when we have an off day, it's so nice to get to hang out with your best friend and get the support you're needing.
Detoxing...how would i get started? Start with whole, fresh, organic ingredients... you really can't go wrong. Oh, and find out what detox means for you and why you want to do it... Your motives might be more imprtant than your food choices.
Any plans to expand to other categories in health & fitness? Oh yes- Living THE Sakara Life involves everything one does to take care of one's mind, body and spirit. Big things are coming.
