How are you adjusting to the time change?

Spring is around the corner and this is a great time to give a spring-cleaning to your body and Detox! Along with regular exercising, some foods listed below, would help with detoxifying and help you feel good both inside and out!   

Below are list that will help with the detox plan:

1. Green vegetables: Green vegetables like spinach, kale, broccoli or celery help eliminate toxins in the    body. Try eating them raw in salad or a juice.

2. Garlic: Garlic helps stimulate the liver by producing enzymes that help filter toxins.

3. Green tea: Rich in antioxidants and speeds up liver activity.

5. Pomegranate: High antioxidants and assist in the detox process.

What really lies behind our favourite soft drinks

How much artificial sweetener are you drinking?

Great science project that outlines the amount of sugar that is in each individual serving of our favorite soft drinks, this project was completed by a very smart girl who’s objective was to increase awareness of the health risks of consuming too much of these soft drinks. A diet high in sugar can increase risk of weight gain, as well as other health issues such as heart disease and diabetes.

New Year Resolution Re-cap!

Every year we make New Year’s resolutions and vast majority of us are not successful in keeping and achieving the goal. Around 45% make New Year resolution and break it! So are you sticking to your NY resolution? Do you make the same resolution each year?  Are you closer to your new year resolution?

We should follow the below strategies to help us reach our resolution. Click Here! 

1.  Be specific and set realistic goals.

For example, don’t resolve to “Drink more water” or “Go to the gym more”. The resolution should be very specific! “Drink 6 cups of water a day” or “Go to they gym on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for hour an half.”

2. Write it down. Write down a list of New Year's Resolutions. It is a good idea to get them all out of your head and written on paper.

3. Review your resolution constantly. If your resolution is buzzing through your head, it’s much easier to achieve it. It is not a bad idea to refer to your NY on weekly basis.

4. Hold yourself accountable. Tell your friend about your resolution or join a like-minded group. Communicating your resolution and intentions actually increases your accountability to the behaviour. From the very beginning it is important to share your objectives Knowing that you are accountable to someone other than yourself will motivate you to keep your goal.

Try these and hope it will help you achieve your goal.  Let us keep our enthusiasm and stick with your goal!!

Good Luck :)
