Dee's Top Health Tips

• Drink warm water and lemon juice each morning before breakfast to stimulate digestion.
• Eat 2 serves of fruit and 6-9 different veggies per day (organic where possible).
• Eat the protein portion of your meal first.
• Include 'good' fats (fish, avocado, nuts, seeds or flaxseed oil) with every meal.
• Avoid drinking excessively before or during a meal as this can reduce enzyme activity. Enzymes help to break down food.
• Ensure you drink plenty of fluid throughout the day (herbal teas, water and/or soups) - approximately 25-30mL per kilogram of body weight.
• Take a high quality omega 3 and a multi vitamin supplement daily.
• Be active. Exercise at least 30 minutes every day. Exercise works the diaphragm, which massages the intestines improving digestion. It regulates appetite, blood sugar and metabolism. See below if you don't think you have time to do this...
  
  
• Get adequate sleep - your body needs sleep to repair and regenerate.
• Eat according to your blood type.
• Shop for fresh food regularly and keep your pantry stocked with good staples. When you prepare food, make double and freeze meals for future convenience. When preparing dinner, make extra for lunch the following day.
• Avoid overeating. Overeating occurs when we skip meals, eat too quickly or dont satisfy our taste buds. Overeating is a major cause of obesity and stresses the liver and digestive tract. Spread meals evenly through the day and try to have your biggest meal at lunch time. Our digestive fire peaks around noon, when it is most efficient at coverting food into energy.
• Seek high quality nutrition and health coaching.

There are 168 hours in a week; 40 are used at work, 56 for sleep, leaving 72 hours of time.
To improve your health, you only need to find a minuscule 3.5 hours for exercise a week.

This equates to 2% of your time, or 30 minutes a day
