A Healthier Year \u2013 By Danielle Felip<\/h3>\n

CHICKS, the start of a new year is a really great time to work towards goals<\/strong> but doesn\u2019t the word resolution seem big and scary? Often we get in the mind set that we need to lose a certain number of pounds or give up certain things to be healthier and happier and while this can spur motivation, it was also create a lot of pressure.<\/p>\n

Changes to be healthier don\u2019t have to be large scale; <\/strong>even a few small adjustments in your daily life can have a long-term positive impact. Here are a few simple ideas you can add in to your routine to make 2012 a healthier year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dani’s Simple Tips to a Healthier, More fab you!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try having a glass of water with lemon upon rising.<\/strong> This is great for hydrating the body and aiding in detoxification.<\/p>\n

Ensure you have colourful fruits and veggies at each meal.<\/strong> Eating a rainbow of colourful fruits and vegetables provides valuable antioxidants, minerals and phytochemicals which helps prevent obesity, illness and disease.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to floss.<\/strong> It\u2019s true, flossing can help reduce the risk of heart disease, tooth decay and bad breathe.<\/p>\n

Make simple switches.<\/strong> Eat white bread? Switch to whole grain bread. Use refined sugars? Try natural sugars such as maple syrup, stevia or coconut sugar. Like cookies? Me too. Have 2 instead of 3.<\/p>\n

Positive self talk.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to look in the mirror and nit-pick all of our flaws. Why not give yourself some love and each time you look in the mirror say something nice to yourself. Positive affirmations can go a long way.<\/p>\n

Keep fit<\/strong>. Exercise releases brain chemicals that make us feel great. It also gives us confidence and is a great way to develop friendship and social interaction. Sign up for a 4 or 8 week Fit Chicks Bootcamp<\/a> and start your year off on a healthy note!<\/p>\n

Thanks Dani (and for the plug at the end lol) – we are going to grab our floss as we type:)
\n
\nChicks, if you have any tips that have been working for you – please share!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a fab day,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
