Do you want to clean up your diet? Follow my 21-Day-Challenge to build healthy habits for yourself.

I believe in forming healthy habits one by one, making them part of your routine. Some of the following you may already do, others may be new for you, some may be challenges and others simply reminders of what you know you should do.

Hopefully after 21 days you will have added some new healthy habits to your daily routine. Start today!

​

#1 Drink more water. Everybody's water needs can differ but in general about 2L is recommended. Drink water, herbal teas, the water content of fruit & veg does count, but of course the amount within each will vary. If you find plain water difficult to drink add a slice of fruit (organic, if adding fruit with peel) - lime, lemon, orange or a little sugar-free squash.

#2 Include protein in each meal & try to include in snacks also. Think... do you eat a protein food in each meal?? Protein is important at every age, needed for growth & repair of body cells. These foods are very nutritious & satisfyingly filling - meat, poultry, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, yoghurt, beans, lentils, soya foods such as tofu, nuts, seeds, quinoa, hummus. Add nuts & seeds to porridge; add lentils or quinoa to salad; snack on hummus & carrot, apple or celery.  Read more here
