15 Baby Steps to Better Health!

23/2/2018

​Making changes to get better your health does not have to be overwhelming.

Start with these small steps. You can adjust from here to achieve long lasting changes. When I work with clients my emphasis is always to make the changes simple.


​
​


​Take time to breath – really!
Breathe through your nose for 5 counts and out for 6. Repeat 5 times. You'll find it calms the mind.


Do your food shopping online or stick religiously to a shopping list.
This way you avoid those impulse purchases.


Eat together as a family.
Studies have shown that those who do have better relationships.
 
Plant a seedling( or seeds if you have the patience!)
Watch it grow. Nothing difficult. Carrots in a pot, Basil or Oregano on the window sill or a hanging basket of strawberries!
 
Smile! Laugh. Get your silly on.
What's the point in being on this planet if not to enjoy, share the moment and SMILE.

Eat slowly and chew properly.
The more you chew the better your digestive system will function. Less chewing puts more strain on the whole digestive process.
Starting in your stomach.


Start your day with Super Foods. 
Berries, ground flaxseed, cooked greens like spinach, kale, cucumber, nut butters. Sadly, cereal is not going to help you on your road to good health!

Check your posture.
By tilting your hips forward you'll put less strain on your back.
When you're sitting at your desk make a conscious effort to drop your chin. It tends to poke out towards your computer screen. This results in a stiff neck.
(thanks, to my mom for these wise words!)
 
Detox your fridge. 
Keep nourishing foods within in easy reach.
A little bit of preparation goes a long way. Carrot sticks, cucumber sticks. A tub of hummus and cottage cheese. Plain yoghurt to dip apple or pear slices into. 
 
And give your fridge a steam to kill any bacteria lurking about. 
 
Add some movement to your day. 
Have you got time for one song? Your favourite song. Or just turn up the radio and grab your child for a manic 3 minutes of movement.

You first then others.
If you're not well then how can you look after others? 
 
Choose wholesome snacks.
Ditch the biscuits and snack bars. Sugar is not your friend. Choose nuts, biltong, cheese, vegetable sticks. 
 
Drink more water. 
Aim for 8 glasses per day. For every cup of tea or coffee have a glass of water.
 
Plan your meals.
It can make your life so much easier. 
If you'd like to see the meal plan I have then drop me an email.
 
Start small, take little steps and you will feel motivated and goals will be achievable.
 
​
How about choosing 3 baby steps? 
Let me know which ones you've chosen.
​I'll check in during the coming days to find out how it's going for you...


To your baby steps this week...
Much happiness
