Healthy Living in Minehead

Thursday 8 May 2014

5 months ago I had a C-section to have my baby, 3 months ago I started with a 3 mile walk and 30min exercise and so on till I built up more and more. To be honest with you I'm not dieting, I'm eating real food not food-like products, and I'm not exercising because I wanna be slim and look beautiful ( I'm waaaay past that age) I'm exercising because I wanna be healthy and fit. I've been inspired by many people and that turned into motivation which again turned into habit. A habit of reaching my hand to pick up an apple instead of bag of chips, a habit of exercising 30-40 min a day to release energy, a habit just as brushing your teeth. We all should have this habit of taking care of our bodies inside and not only on the outside because is healthier and actually cheaper. It's cheaper to walk,it's cheaper to have a satisfied stomach (junk food besides the fact is expensive will never keep the hunger and cravings away), to exercise in your own living room is actually free (the internet is full of free online videos). Where is a will is a way, and I've been tought that postponing is the exact recipe for failure. I do hope, this, along with milions of other examples is inspiring for you and I wish you good luck in your journey!

About this blog

First of all I would like to say that I've opened this blog with a great pleasure of sharing the bits and pieces of information I have gathered through the years, recipes, DIY ideas and every other thing that comes through my mind. Unfortunately we live in a high-speed era when we don't have time to cook or to eat properly....many of us hit that, juggling between job, home, children, cleaning, shopping, errands and so on we find ourselves eating on the way. We are surrounded by all kind of types of processed food, instant food, take away food, pre-packed food, microwave food...great pictures on the packs but horrendous aspect in reality, very tasty but in the same time addictive ( for example sweets that have a high content of sugars create addiction). We are surrounded by commercials that say: clean your car, clean you washing machine, deep clean on fabrics, clean your carpets...but what about us?!
And we tend to forget one of the most important things: OUR OWN BODIES! We spend thousands a year on products to clean everything around us but we forget about ourselves. And everyday we put all these types of food in our bodies, and we think if is tasty is good for us, and if we are tired has nothing to do with it and we should buy more things to keep us going, and if we don't sleep well is something to do with us, and if we are constipated or have stomach problems again is something wrong with us, if we have unbalanced hormones, allergies,migraines,bad skin again has nothing to do with what we put in our mouths...and what we do? We buy more things to keep us going, more chemicals, more pills. Some of us realize it when we end up at the doctor having diabetes, high cholesterol, some stroke,morbid obesity and so on. Ok, and what we should do?! We should cut down the junk food, tabacco and alcohol and replace it with fresh juices made at home, fresh vegetables and fruits, teas and every now and then to detox our bodies using nothing more than those fruits and vegetables which, in some combinations eliminate the toxins from our bodies and give us the right boost of energy.
I really hope that through this page I will learn from other people and also inspire others with posts,articles and ideas that anytime can be verified on different sources.
