Source Part of being healthy is exercising and cutting out junk food. Working out is frustrating but uncomplicated because the gym is open 24/7. Plus, it isn’t as if hitting the treadmill is going to make your head spin! Eating healthy foods is a different matter altogether. For one thing, the majority of us don’t know what constitutes healthy and what is unhealthy these days. Secondly, we all love food to some degree, and cutting down can be hard because temptations are everywhere. If only there were some way to eat five portions of fruit and veg a day without it being a chore. In fact there is, and you can find the tricks underneath. Be careful because there is such a thing of eating too many fruits and vegetables! Juicer/Smoothie Machine As singular items, fruits look quite intimidating. Imagine having to eat five bananas or oranges in one sitting. It would be incredibly filling and bloating and put you off eating five-a-day for a while. The good thing is that ju...

I have suffered with Hashimoto's Disease, or Hypothyroidism most of my adult life and let me tell you, it is no walk in the park.  I am under a doctor's care and visit twice a year for checkups. This year, more than ever, I have been suffering with a lot of leg and calf pain.  It is to the point that I can't sleep at night and I sit with my legs up all day.  I keep telling myself that the weather is probably effecting it, and perhaps it may be a bit, but I did a bit of research today to look for ways to holistically help with the pain. According to Holistic Thyroid Care , the pain can be caused by calcium and magnesium deficiencies.  It also states that eating leafy green vegetables like spinach and broccoli can help.  Nuts, beans and bananas are also great sources for magnesium.  One important point that I read is that people, like myself, with Hashimoto's disease should never eat raw vegetables.  They should be blanched or steamed bef...

My week went pretty well.  I kept within my points range all week and got in a lot of steps.  I was down 2.5 lbs, which is great! This week we focused on imagining what it would be like to be at our goal.  I personally don't like to think that far ahead and don't really even have a vision that far in my mind.  I like to make small goals and strides.  This way I don't put pressure on myself.  I take things week by week.  This keeps me focused and makes the achievement more personal and reachable. I found myself making good food choices, even in bad situations.  Let's face it, there are times that you are going to be out with family or friends and everyone is going to want to go to the ice cream parlor or fast food place.  Whatever that situation may be, you have to be able to express yourself to your peers.  If you don't want anything, don't feel pressured to say yes.  Simply tell them that while you appreciate th...
