“NOTHING LOOKS AS GOOD AS HEALTHY FEELS” I feel great! Healthy skin, healthy heart, healthy lungs, healthy sleep, & I have energy to burn & a zest for life! I recently walked part of the walking track of New Zealand (Te Araroa - 8km) after also running 9km; was it a challenge? Not really as I am fit & healthy - did I enjoy it because of this HELL 😈👊🏻YEAH! This is how life should feel. ❤️
Are you sluggish, feel bloated; weight going on around your middle, sleep poorly, lack energy, could you easily walk a hill, keep up with your kids? If not then you need to look at change! There is so much in the media at the moment on health: ☹️33% of deaths annually are caused by cardiovascular disease. It is the leading cause of death in New Zealand ☹️Up to a 1/3 of all cancers are linked to a poor diet (how not to get cancer TVone) ☹️High alcohol intake can raise blood pressure, damage the heart muscle along with stroke, liver disease, pancreatitis, increased risk of cancer ☹️2 million New Zealanders will be Obese in 20 years time - currently 1.1 million. ☹️New Zealand has a diabetes problem, fuelled in part by one of the highest rates of obesity in the world
With all of these articles in the newspapers, online & on TV I still struggle with the mentality of people doing nothing 🤢. Ensure you & your family or even friends don’t join the STATISTIC’s of obesity, cardiovascular disease or diabetes or one of the other health related causes for ill health. As I’ve said many times before it doesn’t take much to enact change & with the reasons I’ve listed above - WHY NOT?
How many of these choice below apply to you 🤢sedentary life 🤢high alcohol intake, 🤢drink fizzy, or juices or energy drinks 🤢predominantly processed foods or sugary foods (biscuits, chips, cereals, cake, quick processed dinners or lunches) 🤢frequent takeaways 🤢large portions 🤢lots of device time 🤢too much stress 🤢poor sleep
These are choices you should have ticks beside: 😘lots of vegetables & some fruit 😘seafood (especially oily fish) 😘some red meat 😘good portions 😘using real fresh foods 😘planning meals 😘more water 😘exercise 30 minutes a day heart pumping! 😘getting a good night sleep 😘less device time especially before bed 😘managing stress
- please 🙏🏻 I implore you start looking after yourself TODAY! Love your life enough to respect your body!
We also discussed Collagen - it is essentially the glue that holds the body together. Vitamin C is particularly helpful for skin & collagen production. Remember a good diet with variety is important for all of our wellbeing. To read more click on the link https://www.stuff.co.nz/…/ask-dr-libby-what-are-the-natural…
I mentioned SPRING 🌸is only 1 1/2 months away & where do we want to be with our Health by then? We worked on our burpee’s (with press ups) lowering the box, we did cage squats, press ups, squats, prone holds, shuttles over a box & to confirm we do full press ups🙌🏻. Look at your food prep over the weekend as it maybe wet. What plans can you make for dinner or lunch to make your week easier. What days can you exercise? Planning makes it happen✅ - write it on a calendar or in your phone with a reminder to do! AS SPRING IS COMING 🌸🌸💗🌸🌸
