My amazing vege story!

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:24:52 +0000

Do you eat the recommended 5 serves of vegetables every day? Not many people do. Some years ago I was worried that I wasn’t eating enough veges, as I was only in the habit of eating them with dinner (and not every night). So I began steaming some veges (especially green leafy veg) in the morning, sprinkling them with some cheese and taking them to work to eat at lunchtime to supplement my usual sandwiches.

An amazing thing happened – that winter I didn’t get sick, despite all my work colleagues succumbing to the usual colds and flu going around. I have since continued this habit and now I never get colds and flu… ever! And I used to get at least 3 every winter without fail! I know that this sounds too simple, but the fact is that fresh vegetables provide our bodies with a wide range of vital nutrients which help our immune systems to function at their peak. So try it for yourself and you might just be amazed like I was.

Stress less dammit!

We all lead busy lives but at some point we all need to stop and ask ourselves if we are really enjoying the journey. After all, what’s the point of whizzing through life at the speed of sound if we’re not really happy? If you need help relaxing, try yoga, or walking with a friend, or meditation.

For more ideas and resources, drop in to the Relaxation Centre Qld, on the corner of Samford and Enoggera Rds at Alderley. They sell and loan books & DVD’s and run courses and seminars aimed at helping people relax and enjoy life more. For more info go to:

Save time by grocery shopping online

Recently I read a cartoon that had a doctor talking to his patient. He was saying: “What fits your busy schedule better – exercising for 1 hour a day, or being dead for 24 hours a day?” Many people say they don’t have enough time to eat and live well, but by getting organised you can actually save time and be healthy.

Stocking you kitchen with good food is one of the foundations of good health. To do this time effectively, have you considered buying your groceries online and having them home delivered? With a few clicks on the internet, you can be enjoying good food every week in record time. See websites below:

Woolworths                         https://www.homeshop.com.au
Coles                                       https://www.colesonline.com.au
Aussie Farmers Direct   http://www.aussiefarmers.com.au

But don’t stop there…

The next step is to start taking a healthy lunch to work in order to avoid buying takeaway. And if you say “I don’t have the time to prepare it”, think about how long it takes you to walk or drive from your place of work to the takeaway shop, line up and buy your lunch, then travel back to work. Probably 10min or more – the same amount of time it would take to prepare your lunch for work! So just do it already!

Carmen’s muesli bars – a healthy snack on the run

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:12:51 +0000

If you are looking for a healthy ‘fast’ food, try Carmen’s muesli bars. These are a nutritious alternative to the myriad of unhealthy, sugar laden muesli bars on the supermarket shelves. If you are running late in the morning, a Carmen’s muesli bar with a piece of fruit makes a perfect breakfast on the run that you can eat in the car on the way to work. There are about 5 different flavours, but I only recommend the ‘Original’, ‘Apricot & Almond’ and ‘Classic Fruit’ bars, because the other varieties do have too much sugar. Carmen’s bars are available in most supermarkets, and they also sell great tasting muesli too. For more info:

Stevia – the magical all natural sweetener!

admin — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 02:01:59 +0000

As a whole, Australians are eating more sugar than ever, and it’s leading us down the path of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer and many other health problems. Artificial sweeteners are a poor option because they are linked to other health problems (Google ‘aspartame’ if you want to be shocked!).

Luckily there is an alternative – a herb called Stevia, which is many times sweeter than sugar. So if you add sugar to your tea or coffee, try substituting it with Stevia instead. The taste is slightly different but it much better for your health. You can buy Stevia at health food shops in powder or liquid form. Or alternatively you could ask your local nursery if they stock the herb. You will be astounded when you pull off one of the green leaves and chew it because it tastes around 20 times sweeter than sugar!!!
