Healthy and Slimming Left Over Salad!

I think you all know by now that I love fresh salads. Why?

• They are easy to make
• It only takes a few minutes to be ready to eat
• You don’t need to wash up greasy dishes

…. And fresh salads are:

•  immensely good for our health
• A great way to detox your body
• A great supply of the nutrients our body needs to fight diseases like cancer and many more
• The perfect food to help you lose weight
• Don’t need to be expensive!

Here is one great example of a healthy, low cost and slimming

“Left over Salad”

This one is made of:

• Some red cabbage, washed and cut
• Some white cabbage, washed and cut
• Some celery, washed and cut
• Some cucumber, washed and cut
• Some carrot, washed and cut
• A few cherry tomatoes, washed and cut

Add a bit of Tahini and very little sesame oil. Some ground pepper and maybe a bit of lemon juice.

Serve with brown rice or a wholemeal roll.

Enjoy!

Never too old …

Why don’t we occasionally forget about the seriousness of life. Nobody is ever too old to have some great fun and play around. I think that too often our lives end up much more complicated than they should be.

I think some days we just need to throw away the “etiquette”, forget about what others might say or think – and simply have fun and enjoy life.

If you are upset or frustrated about something … instead of having a jar of biscuits, chips or three bars of chocolate … why not grab yourself a horse and go for a “Wild Ride”!

Weeeee! … I love it!

What do you think? – Is life too serious? – Would you like to go for a “Wild Ride”?

I’d love to hear some answers ….

Swap your Hamburger to a healthy and low fat “Gourmet Sandy Burger”

No matter if you’re out in a restaurant, travelling or having dinner at home with your friends and family. Everyone loves hamburgers and they are a big part of every menu.

Why not do yourself and your body a big favour and swap your usual burger to a delicious, healthy and low calorie “Gourmet Sandy Burger”?

How does it work?

A hamburger bun or Turkish roll is great. Skip the butter. Add lots of fresh mixed salad leaves, add sliced tomato, add sliced beetroot, plus add tasty cooked onion on top.

Have a big, fresh and healthy salad instead of the high calorie and fattening chips.

Add some sauce and pepper if you like.

Tip: If you make your burger at home use a wholemeal roll – it’s even better for your weight and your health.

Enjoy! … and invite your friends as well.

Are you getting enough exercise?

Hello again!

Who’s getting enough exercise? Who isn’t?

No excuse! I’m sure there is some exercise  you can do …

How important is exercise?

It’s serious, serious and absolut seriously important! I’d like to say it is seriously most serious important which means seriously it is …!

What does regular exercise do for us and for our body? It:

• Supports weight loss
• Helps prevent many diseases including heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, diabetes, cancer …
• Keeps you mobile and prevents injuries
• Keeps your bones strong and healthy
• Keeps your heart strong
• Lowers high blood pressure
• Lowers high blood sugar and prevents diabetes
• Releases hormones like endorphins which decrease your appetite
• Decreases tensions and anxiety
• Elevates your mood and releases “feel good hormones”
• Reduces chronic pain (Please check with your GP or physio if you have chronic pain.)
• Decreases aging. Stay younger for longer!

Seriously serious –are you doing your regular  exercise?

You don’t need to run a marathon  but do some exercise every day.

Are you ready?

Please take care of your body – it’s worth it!

Sandy

(Remember: If you are overweight or over 40, haven’t done much exercise for some time, have an injury or medical condition or if you are experiencing any pain, please always check with your GP before starting any new exercise.)
