POOR SLEEP DOESN'T HAVE TO STICK AROUND! SLEEP LIKE A CHAMPION WITH THESE TIPS!

So many people have problems sleeping so be sure to share and tag to pass this on to someone who may really need it!

Follow .health.solutions for quality health & fitness content.

MOVE MORE - If you find you're not ready for sleep at night try exercising as well as getting your steps up during the day. If you're also stressed (commonly linked) a long walk may get your mind off things.

COFFEE SMART - None after 1 pm. Max 2 per day. If you can have one slightly later than 1 and still sleep that's fine just be aware.

HEAT EXPOSURE - Get in the sauna in the early evening and watch how awesome you sleep that night. Sauna's are amazing for you in so many other ways as well!

STRESS - So important! Various posts on this subject be sure to check them out!

SCREENS AT NIGHT - Huge problem for sleep. That light going into your eyes is the sun according to your brain and hormones (cortisol) are released to wake you up not help you sleep! (melatonin)

NOTHING INTENSE! - Night time is chill time. Emails down, no intense exercise right before bed, no meals that need to be digested

DIM LIGHTS - Bright lights are not your friend at night!

DON'T FORCE IT - When it's just not happening that's fine go do something else that calms you down! Lying in bed getting upset will only make it harder so this is a great time to pick up your favourite book or go have a hot bath with some essential oils (lavendar)

FOOD, ALCOHOL, DRUGS, BAD RELATIONSHIPS AND SO MANY OTHERS AFFECT SO MANY PEOPLE!

This is definitely an important post as so many of us experience an addiction of some kind! Share this around to help as many people as possible.

Follow .health.solutions

DO YOU HAVE ONE? Great question and so important. Think about it this way... Does it get in the way of relationships or friendships? Does it have a strong negative affect on your health? Do you think about it a lot and crave it? These are big warning signs!

ENVIRONMENT - If you have a group of mates who drink heaps then being a part of that will make it extremely difficult to change. Separate yourself as much as possible!

STRESS - Stress eating, drinking, smoking or drug taking is a massive problem and people tend to deal with stress with their favourite vices. Don't fall into it and address the issue right at it's core!

GOOD HABITS / SWAPPING - Hiking, camping, surfing, exploring, tennis or anything active will definitely help keeping you in a positive state of mind and feeling happy and healthy! Use these to replace bad habits.

GOOD PEOPLE - Good quality people are critical in this quest to help rub that positive energy and discipline onto you. People who party aren't bad people at all it's great to let off a little steam but you become who you associate with so just be aware!

YOUR WHY? - Work out why you have these addictions and address them. Maybe it's a lack of knowing that it's a problem, or a hormonal imbalance is making you crave sugar way too much. Once you know the why you can work toward fixing the issue

SELFLESSNESS - Dedicate some time to helping others. Your own addictions and feeding into them is all about you. You are important but taking yourself away from your needs will give you a deeper perspective and sense of satisfaction and happiness!

WANT TO STAY LEAN OR LOSE STUBBORN FAT? THIS ONE'S FOR YOU!

Over-eating has many more health issues then just weight management. Get on top of it with these 8 tips!

Find this helpful? Share this with a friend who experiencing this very common issue. Also follow .health.solutions for daily health & fitness content!

PROTEIN - Makes you feel fuller and is essential for anyone's diet. If you eat a fair bit and don't feel satisfied this may be the cause. Especially if you're having cereal, fruit and toast for brekky! (all carb based)

DISTRACTED EATING - Is something to avoid as the more aware you are of the food going down, the more your body will know this and regulate hormones accordingly.

STRESS - This one comes up all the time so you know how important it is! Whatever it takes reduce your stress levels to avoid stress eating!

LESS ACCESS - Laziness can be your friend! If you have access to heaps of temptations you may quite often give in to them. But if there are no temptations and the shops are 15 minutes away chances are you won't be bothered going all that way!

CHEAT MEALS! - Who doesn't love a good cheat meal? Earn it and enjoy it! Earning it can mean you've done a great fasting protocol for the week, got in your training sessions or said no to temptation throughout the week!

FASTING – If you eat all the time there’s a much higher chance of over-eating! Start with a 10 or 12 hour eating window as your body gets used to it. Then try for the 16 if you feel you're ready. Consulting a health professional prior if you have any potential issues.

BLOOD GLUCOSE - Reduce snacking is a great place to start with this one as well as fasting and reducing sugars in your diet.

HEALTHY FATS - These are so important as they give you energy throughout the day instead of short bursts like high GI foods. Avo, eggs, fatty fish, nuts etc are a great place to start!

ONE OF MY FAVES. THE STEP JUMPING SPINNING ROUND KICK!

This kick is awesome and very powerful! Don't try this one unless your confident with a basic roundhouse kick and also make sure you don't have lower back or hip issues!

Follow .health.solutions for daily health and fitness content!

1. Start in orthodox stance left foot forward (if kicking with the right leg)

2. Take a step with the right foot so the right is now forward.

3. The back foot lifts off the ground and spins around to become the front leg (still in the air)

4. Using that momentum, jump up and lift the right leg to roundhouse kick and execute the final strike!

Enjoy! Hope you all have a great start to the week.

ARE ANY OF THESE STEALING YOUR GAINS?

A major step to serious results is not just your exercise or nutrition... But to get rid of or manage the things that are holding you back!

Find this helpful or know someone who can relate? Share and tag to help them get past these barriers and be sure to follow .health.solutions for quality health content!

PARTYING
This habit does much more damage than you realise! Huge amounts of empty calories, wreaking havoc on hormone regulation, ruining your body clock with later bed times and doing it often enough even brain damage!

BUSY LIVES
Definitely something so many of us are experiencing and for many nearly impossible to avoid. Just be aware of what's within your control and allocate time for health and chilling out!

TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
These can suck the energy out of the greatest of souls. Cut the bad fruit from the tree wherever possible and your mind and body will thank you for it!

BAD HABITS
No need to list these you know what they are. Reduce them, cut them or earn them! I'll eat what I want just about on weekends, but come Monday and Tuesday I'm calorie restricting to offset how much I have on Saturday and Sunday.

WRONG INFO
This is a tough one as there's so much crap in the fitness and health industry especially! Have skepticism with everything you read (including all of my posts) and make an informed decision with a clear mind.

LAZINESS
All been there! If you know laziness to be an issue get in what you need to earlier in the day (not too early) and enjoy laziness later on. Even better, use it to your advantage! Don't have treats in the house knowing you're too lazy to go out and get them if you have a craving. And boom, laziness equals healthier lifestyle!

STRESS & SNACKING
Reduce these negative environments as much as possible. When it's unavoidable discipline comes into it. Always harder but necessary!

HAS LOW ENERGY BECOME THE NEW NORM FOR YOU? IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!

Everyone can benefit from more energy! If you find this helpful share this around so others can benefit.
Also follow .health.solutions for daily health and fitness content

SLEEP - It's absolutely critical to get your sleep sorted as a first priority. We have a few posts on this to check out as well as our evening routine post that will really help!

COFFEE SMART - So many mixed messages on coffee so overall ensure 1 - 2 per day as an absolute max with nothing after 2 pm if possible. (if you sleep well and have later coffees that would be ok)

MACROS - Processed cereals, breads, rice, oats and so on are fast burners that aren't sustainable. Good fats will keep you going longer without a crash. EV olive oil, avo's, various nuts etc. Carb sources should be things like sweet potato and pumpkin.

HEALTH CHECK - Check for vitamin d and iron deficiencies especially but a general blood test at your gp will let you know if this is an issue.

SUNLIGHT - Goldmine of health benefits and the best way to get vitamin d which is responsible for over 1000 chemical processes in the body.

EVENING ROUTINE - Check out our previous post on this for a heap of quality info!

TOXICITY - Equals energy drainers! Processed foods, bad oils, pollution, bad relationships, negative people and similar things all need to be removed as much as possible!

STRESS - Shows up a lot as it is so important to lower stress levels. Various posts on this and we're always available if you have additional questions or uncertainties.

Do you have low energy? What have you found helps you?

HATE HEADACHES? BEAT THEM WITH THIS!

We all experience headaches at some stage so make sure to share this post or tag someone you know with headache issues!

Follow .health.solutions for daily health and fitness content!

KNOW YOUR HEADACHE - Knowing why it's there in the first place can work wonders! There are over 150 types of headaches but common ones include tension, cluster, migraine, exertion and many others!

NECK A SHOULDER TENSION - Big cause of headaches if you have tightness in these areas a strong massage or some release work may do the trick with a lacrosse ball.

REDUCING STRESS - Stress headaches are quite common and getting into a relaxed state will help. We have done numerous posts on stress reduction so be sure to check them out!

STAY HYDRATED - Very important one maybe you just need more water so give that a go with some rest and see how it feels.

HEAT PACKS - Heat can definitely help with a headache depending on the type. If it's a tension headache try applying the heat to the back of the head and neck to relax the area! Sinus headache a warm cloth to the area that hurts.

REDUCE SCREEN TIME - If you have a headache straining the eyes is a no go! Less screens and more rest.

TIME OUT - Super important and may be just what you need. Deep breathing, eyes closed, go in a room with little stimulation (noise, light etc)

DIM LIGHTING - Bright lights aren't your friend with a headache especially artificial ones!

Do you experience headaches? Let us know how you sort yours out below if we've missed something!

NATURE / HIKING / FRESH AIR / YOU TIME!

Happy Friday!! For quality health and fitness content follow .health.solutions

This was the day before a Mt Warning hike to see Australia's first sunrise. Hiking and getting out in nature has so many health benefits.

REDUCES STRESS - By taking you out of your day to day lives that cause the stress in the first place.

REDUCED INFLAMMATION - By not breathing in the toxic chemicals that city lives provides. Will also improve oxygen levels in the blood with better quality air.

CALORIE BURNING - Doing things like this on the weekend instead of going out drinking not only burns a heap of calories but saves the massive amount that would have gone in with alcohol or other not so healthy habits.

GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION - Seeing nature at it's finest is one hell of a great feeling. These feelings translate to serotonin and dopamine increases making you feel amazing

VITAMIN D - Sunlight is amazing for you so being outside is super important for vitamin d and a heap of other benefits!

What's your favourite part of the world to explore? What nature do you have in your own backyard?
