5 Steps to Your Best 'Detox' Ever!

Happy New Year!  Are you one of the many people lamenting how much you consumed over the Holidays?  Are you vowing this year will be different and you're going to eat only healthy food all year long?

Welcome to the Season of cleanses & detox diets.  These are often associated with deprivation, cutting out entire food groups, drinking strange concoctions of cabbage water & cayenne pepper and.......failure.

So why am I as a Registered Dietitian taking part in Arbonne International's 30 Days to Fit program?  Because flooding your body with nutritious, unprocessed food & supplementing with carefully selected botanical extracts will help your body's natural detoxifying systems do their job!

I tried Arbonne's 30 Days to Fit Program when I first became an Arbonne Consultant as I wanted to experience it myself before offering it to others.  It's designed around regular, unprocessed meals with portion sizes which are in line with the most recent government guidelines, such as half your plate being fruits & vegetables, plus addition of Arbonne's Fit Essentials products really did make me feel more energized!

By taking you back to nutrition basics it allows you to push the re-set button on your diet & many clients  report weight loss & loss of inches but it's the loss of sugar cravings and energy slumps that are the real benefits! Get rid of those obstacles & you can finally, successfully make those dietary changes you always wanted to make.

When you place an order you'll receive access to the online Guide plus contact me via Facebook  for membership to a Private Facebook Group providing additional information & support.

National Men's Health Week 2012

June is a time to focus on men....and their health!  It's International Men's Health Month & the week before Father's Day is National Men's Health Week.

If it's been a while since you had a check-up consider this a gentle reminder to call & make that appointment - remember prevention is better than cure!

Decide to take a look at your eating & lifestyle habits this week and think about changes you could begin to make towards healthier choices.  If you need help, ask for it!  The women in your life and health professionals are standing by ready to support you!

If you're a Dad that automatically makes you a role model & actions speak louder than words. I work with a lot with families & all too often I hear Moms say it's hard to get their children to eat certain foods because their husband's won't eat it.   So don't just tell your kiddos to eat their veggies - let them see you eating more of them!

I'm pleased to say my husband & several of my male friends enjoy cooking but if this is something you've avoided in the past make this the week you learn to create a new dish!  Men Can Cook is a fun site with easy, healthy recipes by men!  Be inspired by celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver who advocate simple yet healthy meals and don't be intimidated thinking it has to be celebrity chef standard.

Health means looking after your body inside & out. As a new Consultant for Arbonne, a Swiss nutrition & skincare company established 32 years ago, I've been very impressed with their products & commitment to the environment and as Dr Peter Matravers explains, real men do practice skincare!

So while June is a month for enjoying sunshine & those delicious summer  fruits, it's also a great time for men to take charge of their health & wellbeing!
