We all want to be our best; kicking goals at work, achieving PB’s at our chosen hobbies and finding quite moments at home.
Let’s face it life is too short for anything else.
But we’ve all been there, Wednesday rolls around, snooze is running over time and why isn’t it Saturday already?
Being your best you and making the most of everything you do can be exhausting!
At YFC we want to give you the best chance of nailing every day so we’ve narrowed it down to 5 simple things you can do that will have you bouncing out of bed each morning and smashing it!
-
Eat fresh local produce – what you put in is what you get out, not rocket science but the research conclusively shows that your gut is the answer to most things. Your happiness, your energy levels, immunity and protection from other nasty things like autoimmune diseases and even cancer. So when it comes to fuelling your body it’s back to basics, fresh wholefoods, mainly plant based should make up most of your diet.
But just be careful because as the saying goes Apples ain’t Apples.
Supermarket fruit and veg has typically been sitting around for weeks so has very few of the precious nutrients left that your body needs.
At YFC we’ve made fresh food easy, produce is picked to order (you actually can’t get fresher than that) and grown with love by local producers. So it’s going to give your body everything it needs to keep you happy, healthy and bouncing out of bed.
There is also lots of amazing things happening on a molecular level in your gut when you eat local produce that has been picked when it’s ripe compared to food that has been picked early so it can travel long distances and artificially ripened. I won’t bore you with the details but the key is a happy gut is fresh, local produce and you can’t get that in the supermarkets!
-
Love you gut with Pro-biotics –Once you’ve nailed the fresh local fruit and veg side of things you can help love your gut a little more with pro-biotic foods like kvass and kombucha. These drinks and other fermented foods help promote healthy gut bacteria and will have your body humming!
-
Sleep More– Sleep is so important and we should all be getting at least 8hrs a night. So switch the T.V off, put your phone down and go to bed. Grab a great book and let your mind switch off so you can get a good night sleep.
-
Love what you do– We’re all so stressed these days and seem to have missed the boat when it comes to what’s important. Make sure you love every moment of what you’re doing and if you don’t, change it!
-
Surround yourself with people who care– we’re social creatures and so much of what we have to give is a reflection of those around us and the support they bring. Make sure you’re hanging out with an awesome bunch of people who inspire you and encourage you to be your best you.
Some simple steps that will help you bring out the best you. It’s a journey and you need to provide yourself with the right tools so you can go the distance and yep you guessed it at the heart of it all is food! So do your self a favour and set the week up with amazing local produce from YFC, picked to order and grown with love, no one else is doing that and you don’t deserve anything less!
