What to do?

Top Tips; With so many people telling you to do so many different things to better your health it can often be confusing and overwhelming. Which is why we have chosen our top five, ‘doable’ health tips to help you live better in 2020.

1) It might be obvious but water, water and more water. Your body is made up of 60% water so making sure you’re hydrated is not only good for your skin but good for your entire system. We recommend filtered water and if you’re on the go using a bottle that filters for you like this one by Black and Blum which uses natural charcoal as it’s filter system, so you can carry clean water on the go without using any single-use plastic, what could be better than that?

2) Body brushing; It might seem like a chore to remember to body brush every day but once you get into the habit we guarantee you will stick at it. Use a dry body brush every morning before you shower to stimulate your lymphatic system which is particulary important if you’ve got a sedentary job. Not only does this get the blood flowing to reduce varicose and thread veins but it also keeps your system moving to rid it of toxins and to keep your skin super, super soft.

3) Just breathe; Breathing should be a obviously be a priority however, it’s not about how many breaths you take but how well you breathe. With so many techniques out there from the Wim Hoff method to the 7/11 breathing technique, it can be confusing just to work out ‘how you should be breathing’ so to make it simple, take 10 minutes out of your day to focus on your breathing, whether it’s at your chair. your desk or first thing when you wake up. Breathe in, breathe out, listen to your body and how you feel.

4) Yoga, yoga and more yoga we think you guessed we were going to say this one! It doesn’t mean you have to go to a class every day, it just means taking the principles of yoga into your daily life whilst wearing your ethical yoga clothes of course! Being calm, grounded, cool and collected but also making sure you give your body time to stretch, strengthen and relax after a busy day.

5) Good food = good mood. Good food can mean different things to different people but to us it means nutrient packed, locally grown, seasonal food. Not only is this better for the planet but it means your body maintains its natural, regular rhythm. It also means not limiting yourself, we believe a healthy diet is a balanced diet so if you want a brownie, eat a brownie, which brings us on to our recipe of the month.
