Did you know that sugar is the single most addictive substance we consume 😲 so it is no wonder we reach for it... and the more we have the more we crave it! But too much is not good for our health and it is hidden in so many processed foods.

Those sweet treats and processed carbohydrates increase our blood sugar levels which over time can lead to chronic diseases like diabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease.

It can often be difficult to give it up, but there are many health benefits to eliminating or limiting sugar.

🍏 More insulin sensitivity leading to reduced risk of developing chronic diseases.
🍏 Weight stays stable
🍏 Hormones are balanced
🍏 Less food cravings, and mood is stable
🍏 Your sleep is restorative and you wake feeling refreshed
🍏 Your skin glows and acne is reduced
🍏 Your mitochondria are healthy giving you more energy and longevity
🍏 Healthy heart and brain

So you can see there are lots of benefits in reducing or eliminating sugar.

It can be hard though and the ideal approach can vary person to person. I will cover some general tips in a later post, but if you need some individual help with this, book a 15 minute free discovery call (link in bio).

Did you know that a staggering 91% of adults aged over 18 do not consume the recommended number of serves of vegetables per day [ABS 2020-21].

Current recommendations for adults aged 18-50 are men 6 and women 5 serves per day. So what does a serve look like …

🥕 1/2 cup cooked green or orange vegetables or sweet corn e.g broccoli or pumpkin or carrots
🥕 1 cup green leafy or raw salad vegetables
🥕 1/2 medium potato or other starchy vegetable (sweet potato, taro)
🥕 1 medium tomato
🥕 1/2 cup cooked dried or canned bean, peas or lentils.

A diet high in vegetables helps provide a range of nutrients, fibre, helps to maintain weight and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases.

To increase your intake try adding some vegetables to each meal such as in smoothies, omelettes, grated into mince and stews.

Why is your favourite way to add in extra veges - comment below.

During the festive season it is often easy to forget about the basics for good health and overindulge but I have added some tips below to help you get through this busy time and still enjoy yourself.

🎄 Eat a balanced breakfast to set you up for the day - include protein, carbs and healthy fats, e.g. avocado, poached or scrambled eggs on sourdough toast with some spinach and tomatoes
🎄 Prioritise your sleep to make sure you have the energy to get through the busy fun-filled days (I have written a blog on sleep tips - link in bio)
🎄 Make sure you hydrate your body with plenty of water or herbal teas. Particularly important if you are drinking alcohol. Alternate an alcoholic drink with sparkling water!
🎄 Move your body daily - to help your body digest and for blood sugar regulation, it is good to go for a walk after your meal... rope the family in and spend some quality time chatting during the walk
🎄 Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the celebrations with family and friends.

What does Christmas mean to you?

For me Christmas is a time for reflecting on the past, living in the present and hoping and planning for the future. It is also a time to spend with loved friends and family ❤ and taking a break away from business and work.

Omega 3 fatty acids, made up of α-linolenic acid, EPA and DHA, provide many health benefits. These include:

🌹 anti-inflammatory properties
🌹 provide the structure and function of all cell membranes
🌹 eyesight
🌹 brain, cardiovascular and bone health
🌹 regulation of mood

Recent studies have shown that daily intake of Omega 3 fatty acids can be beneficial in reducing vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats) in perimenopausal and menopausal women.

Deficiency symptoms include dry rough skin, dry eyes and mouth and poor immunity.

Good sources of Omega 3 fatty acids include flaxseed oil, grass-fed red meat, dairy, wheat germ, oily fish and fish oils (cod, herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines), fish oil supplements.

🐟 Consider wild caught fish where possible and select smaller fish like sardines over larger fish to minimise heavy metal contamination. Choose high quality supplements that have been third-party tested for purity (again to minimise heavy metal contamination).

Want to know the correct dosage or supplement to meet your unique health needs, contact me (link in bio).

Inflammation is an essential part of your body’s healing process such as when you are injured or sick and is known as acute inflammation. Inflammation which is ongoing is known as chronic inflammation and can lead to disease development.

Symptoms of chronic inflammation may be hard to identify but can include abdominal pain, fatigue, joint pain and stiffness, skin rashes and during perimenopause/menopause can increase symptoms such as hot flushes, disturbed sleep and hormone imbalances.

Causes of chronic inflammation include:

1. Hormone imbalances – there are fluctuations of estrogen and progesterone during perimenopause/menopause, however other hormones like insulin and thyroid hormones imbalances can contribute to inflammation
2. Obesity – increased weight, particularly around the abdomen
3. Stress – all types of stress can increase inflammation particularly chronic stress, oxidative stress and physical stress (if you exercise at your maximum intensity frequently this places a lot of stress of the body)
4. Nutrient deficiencies – your body needs nutrients to function optimally so if you do not provide it with the appropriate nutrients, processes in your body are affected
5. Poor sleep – can cause hormone imbalances and increase risk of obesity
6. Toxins – pollution, chemical exposure, alcohol, smoking, preservatives and additives in food all place an extra load on the body
7. Sedentary lifestyle – whilst exercising too much can be inflammatory, so can not exercising at all. This can lead to less muscle mass, hormone imbalances and increased physical stress.

If you are experiencing any of the above, book a FREE discovery call to find out how I can help - link in bio.

Do you set goals? Do you achieve them?

Goals are a good place to start off and we often set them at the beginning of each near year, however setting them does give you the big win!

It is action not wishes ... and your daily habits that determine the outcome. Creating daily habits will set you up for success ... whether that be for your career, health or overall life.

One of my habits is to schedule in time each week to move my body as this is important for both my mental and physical health. I have not always done this but have noticed the improvement in my physical strength since I scheduled it in and made it a priority.

What daily habits do you have that help you achieve your goals? Comment below.
