Diets

1. About 60% of our bodies are made up of water. Make sure you have at least 8 glasses of water a day. Drink an additional glass for every 20 minutes of exercise.
2. Need more Omega 3 fatty acids? Try getting flaxseed from your local organic shop and spinkle them on your salads, sandwiches, cereal and soup.
3. A great on-the-go food to take is yogurt. It is excellent for preventing yeast infection, strengthening the immune system and relieving ulcers. Try it!
4. Love milk but afraid of the fat content? Try switching from whole milk to fat-free or skim to lower saturated fat and calories. They still taste great!
5. Need to snack during the day? Ditch the chips and go for raisins, dried apples, dates, prunes or figs which are excellent sources of fibre and potassium.
6. Have half-boiled eggs for breakfast. They are high in protein, low in fat and are a good source of vitamin B12, an important key to red blood cell production.
7. Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids and lowers risk of heart disease and colon cancer. Switch to olive oil and enjoy its benefits today!

Emotional Wellbeing

1. Feeling stressed? Try taking a few deep breathes. As you breathe out, imagine your stress oozing out of your system through your breath.
2. Get at least 7.5 hours sleep a night. Sleep affects your mental sharpness, productivity, emotional balance, physical vitality and even your weight.
3. Exercise can decrease ‘stress hormones' like cortisol, and increase endorphins, your body's ‘feel-good’ chemicals, giving your mood a natural boost.
4. One of the best stress relievers is playing sports. It takes your mind of your problem and redirects it at the activity at hand.
5. Exercise releases endorphins, which are naturally produced chemicals that reliefs stress. Time to workout!
