EAT YOUR WAY FIT
Bonjuer you beauties,
So this post is all about eating clean and keeping keen! Spring is the perfect time to overhaul your food and exercise routine. I've always been in love with being completely make up free, healthy skin and hair and that requires effort!
Illness & Me
It's no secret that since I was a teenager I've battled like crazy with being pretty darn I'll and feeling stupidly tired. (This has brought bouts of feeling down as unfortunately its been a blooming long time.) I do know though that if your eating really healthy it does have a big affect on us though inside and out, so if your similar to me and struggling with illness or well just wanna improve your heath, here is a helpful read and tips!
KNOW YOUR FOOD FACTS
They say knowledge is power and it really is... for me learning that the average person has 20,000 chemicals that are unable to ever be broken down in the stomach....it scared me....a lot! See a lot of people don't realise that eating processed foods like microwave meals and having food allergies is filling your body with inflammation. Your basically poisoning yourself every time you eat processed foods. It is very heavily linked with things like anxiety,mental health,chronic illness,hormonal problems,cancer,diabetes and literally the list goes on... I'm not saying your be completely healed by eatting good foo but it can help, so if your feeling a bit pants, try some of these tips and see if it helps.
WHERE TO START AND JUICING
Buy a juicer and try a juice fast. Sometimes people feel pretty ill in the first 3 days of trying this but sometimes it's just the body trying to adjust. If you feel really rough and like you can't hack it you may have a slightly weaker immune system like me and you may need to ease your way in. Eat real meals and juice one meal a day. This is what I do. Usually juicing my breakfast. Remember this is still prob wayyyyyy more fruit and veg then you would eat usually.
So I know what your thinking you said about no processed food...that's like nearly all food.
True it is more effort eating healthy and it takes more thinking and time but if you feel rough enough and you wanna improve your body enough and you start seeing you stomach stop blotting you can DO it! If I can you can do it you can....I literally used to eat 2 chocolate trifles for breakfast and cake for lunch. HELP!
