Monday Morning Motivation.


I think all of us could do with some motivation this morning - I know I could do with some inspiration. Getting all this editing in check, and trying to build a brand is tough work - although fun. I am excited to see everything all coming together! Even if it is slllllowly. And I hope you can all support me on my journey :). I came across this picture this morning and I simply must share it with you all - I think the message is really strong and quite frankly correct - it simply re-enforces all the success stories from this lifestyle.

The message here I do believe is truly right. This video also shows how a plant-based lifestyle makes people feel better in themselves and people's health improves dramatically. Are you feeling sluggish? Bloated maybe - or still even full from last nights dinner - maybe you need to look into your food combining. Don't allow yourself to feel rotten - life's too short for that. So this video can give you some advice and help with this. The problem is these days we have got extremely lazy - we just eat whatever, without thinking and then put up with the 'health problems' 'digestive discomfort' and see it as 'normal' and it should definitely not be something we are putting up with. I am so passionate about this because I suffer SOOOOO badly with digestive discomfort and all of you who know me know my back-story with my Dad suffering badly with his heart - so of course I know heart disease does run in families and since my Dad I do admit to becoming more aware of what I am putting in my mouth - because I want to be healthy, I don't want to be ill with those life threatening diseases - who in the right mind would? So anything to help keep these horrible diseases effecting us I feel we should be willing to try and there are so many success stories of people - reversing their heart disease too! Which is so inspiring - simply going plant-based and cutting out processed chemicals that just block the system up. I will leave you to explore the video's and check out the image I have posted in this blog - and simply have a think about all the benefits and check in with yourself - how is your body feeling today? Are you bouncing with energy and full or life - no? Well why? Never settle. Remember you are worth it! Health is wealth!!

I truly believe in the message within this picture.

COOKING TIPS

#1
Feeling sluggish and rubbish when you have woken up? Get boosting up on bananas the more the better - they will help settle your stomach, boosting digestion, they are a mood enhancer, they will give you the energy you need and keep you full. Buy my book for banana receipe ideas.
 
#2
Wake up every morning and ATLEAST have one glass of lemon water before doing anything else! Ideally try to drink a litre of water. The lemon wakes up your digestive system ready for the day and has great cleansing properties.
 
#3
Check your dairy and meat intake - dairy can sit in your system for up to seven days unable to digest properly. Meaning other foods also get neglected and nurtients aren't absorbed properly and you feel extremely bloated. Go and smell your food bin, your stomach will be in that state. Rotting foods in your belly - hmm nice.
 
#4
DO NOT FEAR CARBS - THEY ARE NOT THE ENEMY! CARB UP!!
Bananas, Rice, Potatoes, Leafy Greens, Corn, Beans, Lentils etc PACK THEM IN GO MAD.
 
#5
NEVER COUNT CALORIES - NEVER RESTRICT!! These restriction 'starvation' diets who tell you to only eat 500 calories a day then have a treat day - where you binge out and eat WAY too much, is simply messing up your metabolism and on your binge days yours body stores all the fat meaning you gain weight because it knows it is going to go back into starvation mode and needs to hold onto every little thing it can. HELLO WEIGHT GAIN. 

Life is too short not to live it to the full, making yourself happy.
