12 Foods That You Should Buy Organic

January 31, 2011 in Diet Advice with 0 Comments

I found the following list when I was researching organic food. I would love to switch all my food to organic but it’s so much more expensive. If I can find organic food in Woolworths I find that the Macro brand isn’t too expensive. It’s mainly the produce that’s out of my price range. It’s already $3.50 here for a head of cos lettuce that’s not organic! It’s $5.95 a kg for normal tomatoes and around $7-$8 per kg for vine ripened. Perhaps I should give a veggie garden another try…third times the charm right?

Some fruit and vegetables have a higher pesticide content than others. There is a list called the ‘Dirty Dozen’ and it makes sense. Grapes taste really weird and chemically until I’ve washed them thoroughly. I’m sure the pesticides are still on there though.

OK, so there are a few different opinions about foods that need to be on “Dirty Dozen” produce list. It seems, though, that no matter what list you read, the main culprits remain the same:

Apples

Cherries

Grapes

Peaches

Nectarines

Pears

Lettuce

Strawberries

Bell peppers

Celery

Potatoes

Spinach

The above fruits and vegetables are considered the “Dirty Dozen” because they have the tendency to retain a higher level of pesticides and herbicides used by farmers than other types of produce. Let’s take a closer look, but first, a little background information.

Introducing……

GREEN TEA!




I’ve been wanting to drink green tea for ages now because I know all the health benefits but have been a big wuss about it and convinced myself the taste was too disgusting to even attempt to drink it. Guess who just drank a cup? Yep…me!

It wasn’t even that bad. I think I’ll definitely be able to get used to it too.

You can bet that those gorgeous Victorias Secret models drink green tea.

“Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one.” (Ancient Chinese Proverb)

Green tea and cellulite: Green Tea is also a simple yet effective home remedy choice to get rid of your cellulite. Green Tea has properties that make it great for detoxifying your body and burning excess fat. This is due to the fact that green tea contains catechin polyphenols, which increases the oxidation of fat and reduces your fat storage.

As green tea helps to burn excess fat from your body, you will start to notice a reduction in your cellulite. It also works well to prevent new cellulite from forming on your body.

Not only is green tea an amazing superfood for anti aging health – it’s also a natural active ingredient in anti aging skin care.
Some of the anti aging health benefits of drinking green tea include: protection from cancer, heart disease and dementia, increased weight loss and greater physical stamina.
And it isn’t just myth – these findings are backed up by recent clinical research.
So – if you don’t already you need to start making green tea your anti aging drink of choice.

My Top 5 Weight Loss/Healthy Lifestyle Motivational Quotes!!

January 28, 2011 in Diet Advice, Motivation, Victorias Secret Angel Diet, Whats Your Motivation? with 7 Comments

The first two are ones that I try to always tell myself. I’ve probably heard them somewhere before but can’t find them on the internet so it’s possible they’re my quotes.
I’ve been lacking motivation over the past couple of days and decided to do a little motivational bootcamp.

I found the perfect photo of Miranda Kerr, Candice Swanepoel and Alexandra Ambrosio to hang on my fridge and I’m still deciding which quote I’ll put up. Maybe I should hang them all up!

1. Don’t hold back, have no fear & never ever ever give up

2. Be the best (insert name) you can be!

3. Those who do not find the time for exercise will have to find time for illness – The Earl of Derby

4. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.” – Anthony Robbins

5. Your body is the baggage you must carry through life. The more excess the baggage, the shorter the trip. – Arnold H. Glasgow

Anyway, here is the photo I’m going to hang up on the fridge. What I like about the photo is that all three women are in such amazing shape. They’re smiling and having fun and looking healthy and radiant. When I see this picture it encourages me to be able to feel as comfortable and happy in a bikini as they seem to be!
I also want great hair haha :)
