While laying in bed, bring your feet up so the soles are touching. Place your right hand over the lower belly and the left over your mid chest. Take a deep breath through your nose. As you inhale, feel your chest and abdomen expand and become larger. Retain the inhale for the count of five then exhale. Count to five again and repeat. Repeat this 10 times. You will begin your day in a much more balanced way and your stress levels will be much lower.
Breakfast Tip
What’s one of the healthiest things you can do for breakfast? Take a couple of pieces of whole grain toast, then top with your favourite nut butter. Mash an avocado and top over the nut butter. Enjoy this with a side of almond milk for a protein filled breakfast to start your day off right! Remember, it’s always best to have breakfast within 45 minutes of waking up in the morning.
Health Tip: Soccer
A great family activity for all ages is soccer! Grab a soccer ball and go to the park and have some fun. It teaches co-ordination, gets the heart rate up and everyone can participate. Pack a picnic for afterwards and make it a great outing for the day!
