As we head into the cooler months, sniffles and colds become much more common. To help prevent these affecting you, it’s important to take care of your immune system - which is our network of processes that protect us from bugs. It can be strengthened in many ways, such as; eating a healthy balanced diet containing vitamins, sleeping well, regular hand washing, exercising regularly and limiting stress.
So next time you’re in the supermarket why not pick up some colourful fruits that are packed with essential nutrients and vitamins, helping to keep you strong and healthy.
That when we exercise, not only do we feel great, but the brain releases a chemical called human growth hormone which is responsible for many important functions of the body. These include fat burning, increasing muscle growth, supporting the immune system and increasing bone mineralisation.
We are so lucky to have access to some of the world’s best beaches to use for a simple jog or walk to improve our health naturally.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

WARNING: Always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you experience any symptoms of weakness, unsteadiness, light-headedness or dizziness, chest pain or pressure, nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising and seek immediate help.
There’s plenty of evidence to show that a healthy and balanced diet can help to reduce the risk of many medical conditions.
Apples are one of my favourite fruits, they are packed with vitamins and minerals including vitamin C which has a number of benefits, from helping to boost immunity to keeping skin healthy. 🍏
Just like cars, our brains need fuel to keep going. Choosing healthy and nutritious meals throughout the day, challenging yourself to new problems, exercising and sleeping well, all help to contribute to having a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Each week, I make a list of the things that I want to achieve. These are tasks that are realistic and can be done with a little motivation. This week I’m aiming to do muscle strengthening exercises on 5 out of 7 days. This includes, light weights, lunges or squats which help to keep muscles and bones strong and healthy.
