weekend wellness: HOW TO RE-ENERGISE & RE-BALANCE

AFTER A STRESS-FULL WEEK, YOU CAN FEEL ZAPPED OF ENERGY

here’s a few easy tips to get you back on track

Stress is a major energy zapper and your body loses reserves of vitamins B and C and zinc when it’s under pressure. Eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegies, lean meat, chicken, nuts, fish, wholegrain cereals and dairy to keep your nutrients topped up.

Resist cravings for sweet, caffeine laden foods or alcohol as they’ll have the opposite energy effect in the long-run. Try and get eight hours sleep as often as possible and if you’re having problems getting to sleep, dab a couple of drops of lavender oil on your pillow case.

To spark your mind and body during the day: take a deep whiff of peppermint oil; go for a brisk walk; or eat a banana, they have a high concentration of natural sugar which produces long-lasting energy!
