WE KNOW, It can be difficult to stay consistent with a habit if you have a lot going on in your life, or if you take a break from your normal routine - which we often do in the weekend.

So how do I say consistent over the weekend?

By doing an easy version of your habit for the weekend.

So scale it down in order to keep consistent - say your goal during the week is to do an hour of exercise in the gym, maybe change that goal in the weekend to half an hour of any form of exercise, could be a walk with your family - find a scaled version of your goal that works for you!

BLOOD SUGARS 🤯

Top tips to keep your blood sugar levels healthy and controlled

- Limit foods that are high in processed, refined simple sugars such as lollies, white bread, sugary drinks
- Get more complex carbohydrates and healthy nutrients such as fruit and vegetables
- Focus on wholegrain types of rice, breads and cereals and don’t forget the legumes such as beans, lentils and chickpeas.
- Add fibre or whole grains to keep you full for longer. For example, add some oats or seeds to your smoothies to slow the release of energy.

Let’s talk BLOOD PRESSURE!

Blood pressure is an indicator of the pressure of blood pushing against your blood as your heart pumps blood through your body. It is lower when you’re relaxing and increases with movement or stress.

High blood pressure is known as hypertension which happens when the blood vessels thicken and there is increased pressure on the walls making it harder for blood to be pumped.

It is important to look after your heart so your body gets a healthy supply and movement of blood to thrive. Small and sustainable lifestyle changes can have a massive impact on your heart!
➔ Food for the heart includes whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, fruit and vegetables and oily fish.
➔ Limit salty food
➔ Move move move, being active is a great way to lower and maintain a healthy blood pressure
➔ Manage stress – this can be hard but exercise, sleep, relaxation and talking to a friend can be a good start.

CREATING A NUTRITIONAL BALANCED MEAL 🌈

- 1/4 protein: choose lean proteins where possible e.g. chicken, lamb, tofu, chickpeas etc.
- 1/2 non starchy vegetables: aim for variety of colour e.g. spinach, capsicum, carrots, tomatoes etc.
- Small amounts of fats in cooking or added after e.g. oil, avocado, nuts/seeds.

Do you ever look at Health Star Ratings & get overwhelmed? Here are some tips & things to look out for 👀

Ratings are based on the nutritional composition of 100g or 100ml of food or drink.

Ratings are based on total energy (Kilojoules: Kj), saturated fats, sodium (salt) and sugar content.

For example, comparing the rating of low fat fruit based yogurt which is typically filled with artificial sugars and preservatives/thickeners VS greek yogurt which has lower sugar levels meaning it won't spike your sugar levels as much, keeping you fuller for longer, will have a lower health star rating because of its full fat status. This is where the star rating is flawed.

It is generally best to check the back of the ingredients label list when comparing foods within the same category. A general rule of thumb: the less ingredients added the better. Remembering ingredient lists, label the components in descending order ( the most abundant ingredient is listed first). E.g. If you're reading a biscuit packet and sugar is the first word on the ingredient list, the biscuit you are looking at is very high in sugar.

Remember; BALANCE is key, sometimes soul food is just as important as wholefood.
