Hey you, yes YOU! It's hard to pinpoint the signs of a burn out when you are living right smack bang in the middle of it! If you feel like the gears are grinding but you getting no where, then honey you are on your way to a fully fledged MENTAL BREAKDOWN. Believe it or not making a few minor changes here and there will make a world of difference… So sit back, RELAX and let us guide you (for once!)
EAT LOCAL
Eating local, seasonal food not only supports local producers and the production of crops that are appropriate to our environment. It also, reduces our reliance on food that has been refrigerated and grown thousands of kilometres away!
EAT MORE SUGAR
Natural sugar that is! Next time you feeling that fatigued 3pm feeling, reach for a ripe delicious Banana. There are a powerhouse of natural nutrients in Bananas, loaded with vitamins and minerals such as potassium, calcium, manganese, magnesium, iron, folate, niacin, riboflavin, and B6. These will not contribute to the proper functioning of the body, but also give you that mid-afternoon kick needed to get on with you day.
GO TO BED
Duh! Sleep makes you feel better, but its importance goes way beyond just boosting your mood or banishing under-eye circles. It may not be surprising that it is more difficult to take in new information following a night of terrible but did you know that it is just as important to get a good night’s sleep after learning something new in order for our brains to process and retain the information that has been learned.
BUY SEASONAL
Foods grown in sync with the seasons taste better, last longer and are more in tune with our intuitive nutritional needs. This means less of the nasty stuff found in supermarket produce and more of the delicious run-a-marathon kinda stuff.
WALK IT OFF
It is not news, of course, that walking is healthy and that people who walk or otherwise exercise regularly tend to be more calm, alert and happy than people who are inactive. But new studies have found that a daily lunch-break stroll will immediately buoy your mood and assist in losing weight, strengthening your bones, and improve balance and coordination.
