Make your health a priority this month

World Health Day

Make your health a priority this month as we celebrate World Health Day!
Poor lifestyle choices are key contributors in the development and progression of preventable chronic diseases, including Obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Cardiovascular Disease and several types of Cancer.

Let’s work on the following:

  • Eat a variety of different fruit and vegetables – aim for 5 a day!
  • Do not skip meals – eat small, regular meals.
  • Cook extra food and freeze as to prevent buying take away’s.
  • Eat as fresh as possible and avoid processed food.  Choose the food with no labels!
  • Limit your intake of alcohol.
  • Stop smoking!  If you are a smoker, we recommend you read the book “Easy way to stop smoking” by Allan Carr.
  • Avoid refined starches e.g. white bread, instant food, fatcakes, chips etc. and focus more on whole grains e.g. seed bread, brown rice, corn, boiled potato, sweet potato, buckwheat etc. Studies proof that a high fibre diet can reduce your risk for colon cancer, breast cancer and cardiovascular disease.
  • Limit your intake of red meat and include more lean protein e.g. chicken, fish or legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) into your diet.
  • Start being more active!
  • Get enough sleep! Aim for 7 – 8 hours per night.
