So the New Year has bought with it promises of dramatic change and Spartan-like dedication to the task in hand – your health and fitness levels.
To make this easy I want to make this as simple as possible.
Here is a list of what I believe to be the best steps you can take this year to improve your health and fitness levels.
Take one action item from this list. Do it. Do it hard for a week or however long it takes you embed.
So without further a due.
Write down your goal. You are far more likely to achieve it.
Match your behaviours to your goals. If your goal is to run a marathon this year then you need to get running. Likewise the same goal wont be met if you are constantly in the behaviour pattern of sitting on your arse every day. Equally if you want to lose weight then pick five behaviours that you know will help you lose weight and do them every day.
Find your ‘why’. Why are you doing this? This has to be strong.
Focus on improving your health rather than shrinking your waistline. With health comes fat loss. With health comes abundant energy and balanced moods. With health comes performance in life, sport and work. Living should be fun and easy not a chore.
Keep a grateful journal. Each day spend 2-3 minutes and wrote down what you are grateful for. Turn off the news and do this. You will sleep better and wake up looking forward to the day rather than thinking about the next ‘drama’ that you have to tackle.
Improve your sleep by investing in blackout blinds. Your hormones and immune system will thank you for giving them a good night’s sleep. If you struggle to nod off hop into an Epsom Salts bath. They work brilliantly.
Eat raw foods with every meal. Stick a salad or lightly cooked vegetable soup next to your meal and eat it first.
Drink more good FILTERED water. The best thing you can do for you and your family’s health is to use reverse osmosis or water ionisers. 3-4 litres every day.
Replace your paraben-laden cosmetics with organic versions. Likewise stop spraying aluminium next to your armpits. These are carcinogenic and the health shop have excellent replacements that are in most cases cheaper. No brainer.
Get your mercury fillings removed and then follow up with a good nutritional chelation protocol (like the one we can offer). This is another no brainer. Mercury is poisoning you 24-7. If your dentist says that this is not worth doing then thank him for his/ her opinion and find another one. He/she does not have your health at heart.
Stick to exercise at first (if you are new to this) that you will enjoy and keep at. Sweating and using oxygen is at the heart of most beginners to exercise Nutritional and lifestyle changes will make the biggest difference so just get sweating and moving!
Use an Infra red sauna. These are great for your health. Sweat removes toxins and again makes strides to build your health.
Want power is more powerful than will power.
Learn how to weight train.
Eat les animal and diary protein. It is making you sick and tired.
Eat more fruits and vegetables. Simple. Effective. Cheap.
Buy a vegetarian cookbook and learn how to ‘dress up’ these once boring and tasteless items.
Start supplementing your diet with Sodium Bicarbonate, Lugol’s Iodine, Magnesium and Vitamin D. These are power houses and will not fail to improve everyone’s health. A year’s supply of all of these items will set you back about 100 quid. What a bargain. In fact – let’s start an experiment. Use them and see how many visits to the Doctor you need this year. Let me know in December.
I hate ‘detox’. It is far more complicated than that. Our bodies are well adjusted to deal with it. However, it needs help. Especially in this day and age. We have not quire evolved to deal with the environment that burdens us day in day out.
Do you think our caveman ancestors worried about what skin care product to use?
There is plenty here to get you going. Health comes from in to out. Stress, poor nutrition, toxic overload and lack of exercise will all be reflected on the outside. You are your own canvas.
