April 2025 - Spring my favourite energy inspiring season!
Hey there, health warriors! As the vibrant energy of spring, is well on its way I totally begin to embrace that new energetic feeling. I always find this season is all about renewal, growth, and blooming into my best self. So I thought I would tell you about a few of the habits I start off in Spring that see me through till the end of Summer. I hope this helps you all to step well and truly into spring with a spring in your step!
Embrace the Power of Fresh Produce: Say goodbye to heavy comfort foods and hello to the bounty of spring fruits and vegetables. This is a real turning point for me when it comes to getting more natural vitamins and minerals into my body. Load up on leafy greens, juicy berries, artichoke and crisp asparagus to nourish your body with the healthy foods it craves and deserves preparing you for the summer ahead.
Get Moving Outdoors: Start taking your workouts outside whenever possible. I find I walk for much longer and often twice a day now the late afternoons and early evenings are so bright and warm. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the park, a 30 min HIIT on line class or a yoga session, soak up the fresh air and vitamin D while moving to boost your mood and energy levels.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: We all know how it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Always keep a water bottle by your side and sip throughout the day to support your body’s natural detoxification processes and keep your skin glowing. I find my body needs more water currently and therefore its easier to stay hydrated.
Self-care: Spring is the perfect time to renew your commitment to self-care. I love early mornings in Spring – I can sip my morning hot water with lemon outside, looking up at the sky and doing some mindful breathing. Try it – it sets you up for the day (and believe it or not can help with your sleep!) Whatever your self care is ….. yoga, meditation, sitting reading a good book or simply taking a few moments each day to breathe deeply – always prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.
Cleanse and Detoxify: I love nothing more than a good spring clean around my house when the sun is shining – which then clears my head for a good Spring clean of my body too! A gentle detox to rid myself of any lingering toxins, boosts my energy levels. I Incorporate cleansing foods like lemon water, green tea, fennel and detoxifying herbs like coriander (you either love it or hate it) green soups and detox salads into my daily routine.
Embrace Balance: Remember that health is about finding balance in all aspects of your life. I have always lived by having balance in my life. I never deprive myself of anything. Listen to your body, honour your needs, and make choices that support your overall well-being.
Let’s make this season your healthiest and happiest yet! Small changes you make today, make for lasting healthier habits throughout the year.
