More Health and Wealth for You

It’s been a long time between blogs, busy times here at the moment. We are in the middle of two public holiday weekends so this week is a little quieter.

I know we are all trying to get fit and be active so here are some tips on fitness nutrition to help you:

Eat Regularly – graze
Eat every three hours or so to boost your metabolism and control your appetite

Focus on proteins
Women should have one serving of protein every few hours, men should get two. A serving equals the size of the palm of your hand or 90 to 115 gms, this will help control your appetite and blood sugar levels which help you maintain lean muscle

Only have starchy carbs after you exercise
Up to 2 to 3 hours after then back to fruit, vegies & nuts to help with weight loss and gaining lean muscle

Include Fruit & Vegies with each meal
Aim for 8 to 10 servings a day, 2 servings with each meal – easy!

Have healthy fats
A balanced intake includes healthy fats like flaxseeds & flax oil, fish & fish oil, hemp & hemp oil, olive oil, canola oil and walnuts. One tablespoon of oil or two tablespoons of seeds is enough; this will help balance your health and hormones.

Keep drinks simple
Tea (especially green tea) and water are ideal for promoting hydration. No sugar, calories or chemicals that diet drinks have

Eat Unprocessed Foods
You will usually find, the closer a food is to its natural state, the better it is for you. Avoid canned or packaged foods, unless it’s in its own package called peel or skin

Be Organised – Plan Ahead
It’s easy to eat healthily of you do some preparation and have healthy food ready to eat

Variety is the Spice of Life
Don’t limit your food intake by choosing bland, plain foods. Keep your eyes open for new and interesting ideas with healthy food – be brave, experiment

You don’t have to be Perfect
Aim for 9 out of 10 healthy meals; don’t worry if you go astray occasionally. If you are eating healthily most of the time, it won’t hurt

You only get one body so it is worth looking after, these hints should help you look better, feel better and perform at your best, even if it is just a walk around the block. Half an hour a day, you can do it.

  That’s the healthy part and the wealthy part is short and sweet:

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail

You can take control of your financial future with our help. Ten years is all it takes to be Financially Free.
