Making Change
If you want to feel fitter, stronger, slimmer, happier then make some little changes to your current habits.
Trying to make a change that’s not too painful or hard is far more likely to happen and be sustainable. For the next couple of weeks I’m going to cover a few easy changes we could make.
DRINKS
Most of us don’t drink enough water but it keeps us focussed, fills us up and hydrates every cell of the body. Often much easier to have coffee or another cup of tea from the pot. Especially in winter when it’s cold. So let’s break habits…
what’s tasty options
Hot water first thing with a slice of lemon or apple cider vinegar gets our system up and running. Too sour add tsp manuka honey.
If you need a coffee/tea to get going then make this the main one, sit and savour it. If you’ve kids to get out the door wait till later for that perfect cuppa.
Other delicious things I’ve been trying and loving are decaf mushroom coffee. I’ve abandoned my daily decaf in favour of this. That’s giving me a big boost to start the day. The one I use has maca added. You could add a little maca to your special brew. Also mushroom tinctures are available and these could be added.
Some mushroom blends are great brain food, some are amazing to boost immune system keeping colds at bay.
Try some chai which you can make as tea or a milky drink (any milk will do as long as you add it warm at the end). You boil up chai spices mix in a pan with water till it’s concentrated and then use it. Also you could make enough for a few days and store in the fridge.
Wonderful for digestion or comfort on a cold day.
If at home or sitting at a desk then how about a pot of ginger and lemon tea? Delicious hot and cold. Keep adding hot water to that brew and sip away all day.
Matcha tea is yet another option and can be bought as a powder.
At bedtime golden milk made from tumeric powder can be taken as hot milky drink or a night time tea eg chamomile. Make cocoa rather than touching drinking chocolate which is really high in sugar.
Pukka, clipper, twinings and yogi all make an assortment of delicious teas. Start with buying a mixed pack to find out what you like. Swap with friends till you have a few you love ❤️
