It’s that time of year again – new years resolutions, attempt to eat more healthily, loose a bit of weight… here are 5 ideas for you:
- Eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. Fruit and veg should be the cornerstone of any healthy diet. Try having some fruit for breakfast and/or a salad with your dinner.
- Get some exercise outdoors every day. It doesn’t have to be too much, but try and do a little every day – a walk in the park, cycle to the shop, etc.
- Replace junk food snacks with healthy snacks. Fresh fruit or dried fruit and nuts can make great snacks. Replace unhealthy chocolate with healthy raw chocolate.
- Grow your own sprouts. Sprouts are highly nutritious, full of enzymes and are easy to grow in your kitchen. Some good seeds, beans and grains to try: sunflower seeds, rye, mung beans.
- Learn how to make tasty healthy food. Get yourself a good raw recipe book, or go on a course. If you know how to make delicious food which is healthy, you are more likely to be able to stick to a healthy diet.
On Jan 10th, Jolita and myself are running an introductory raw food workshop. We’ll teach you how to make lots of healthy raw foods, including a raw lasagne and raw curry, along with healthy cakes and chocolate. A small group size allows time for your questions. Visit the Funky Raw website for more information about this class.
