Health Tip: Taking Control

ONLY I CAN CONTROL:

· How hard I work
· How much I learn
· How close I am to my team
· How creative I am in business -Mark Sanborn

I got this quote from a girlfriend who sends out daily quotes (which I think is wonderful) and thought it was a perfect health tip. I know it’s not my usual health tip material, but I’m planning to switch it up a bit! (Change is good!)

How often do we try to pin things on others? “It’s not my fault it’s not going faster”, “It’s not my fault, they didn’t teach me how to do it very well”, “It’s not my fault we don’t get along”. You have the power to change almost anything in your life (with enough effort).

So if you don’t like what’s going on, if you don’t like your situation make some change! Sit down and write a list of what you want to have happen, what you want to be better at, what would be healthy options for a better and more productive you! It’s time to care a little more about your mind, and take up the responsibility of getting the job (of life) done well!

What could you do better at? I know I have my list going!

Health Tip of the Week: The Benefits of Fibre Pt. 3

Keeping Weight under Control

Foods containing plenty of fibre have more bulk than low-fibre foods. If taken in the right form at the right time and at sufficient quantities, fibre can sometimes slow the onset of hunger.

Nice To Know:
To help control your weight with fibre:

Always try to take fibre in the natural form. For example, instead of sprinkling bran over your food, choose foods naturally high in fibre.

Avoid foods that have been made easier to eat and digest by removal of fibre, especially sugars (including fruit juices).

Choose foods that satisfy hunger without providing many calories, mainly vegetables and most fruits, which are rich in fibre.

Need To Know:
Some individuals claim that fibre alone can cause weight loss without the need to diet. But in fact, the only effective and safe way to lose weight is to:

- Reduce calorie intake to a safe level
- Get enough exercise to burn off excess calories

However, fibre can be a useful aid in reducing calorie intake.

I posted a while ago a great fibre muffin recipe; check it out here if you want!
