HealthyEating #2: Do you love Peanut Butter? Choose those made with All Natural Roasted Peanuts. Also try SunFlower/ HazelNut/Avocado Butter!

HealthyEating #3: Want a good source of Probiotic to keep your digestive track super healthy? Try KEFIR (Tip: Mix 3 tsp w 1 cup of yoghurt)

HealthyEating #4: Your body needs at least 1500mg of OMEGA-3 (It is great for the optimal development of  brain, helps boost skin radiance and also helps to lower cholesterol). Wild salmon and fish oil are great sources!

HealthyEating #5: Did you know that women in the 40 – 65 years age demographic (pretty much the age bracket of most WWN members), need at least 25g of fibres per day? Where are you getting your fibre from?

HealthyEating #10: Best Tip for today – Get yourself some Kale. You may steam it, eat it uncooked (salad) or as Kale chips (baked with a dash of olive oil).

HealthyEating #18: One of the healthiest whole grain bread choice is the Stone milled bread variety.

HealthyEating #19: A good guide to healthy eating? Try to eat foods with more colours-the more vibrant the better! Think tomatoes, red peppers, blue berries, celery, carrots etc Avoid too much ‘Whites’ because they are high in carbs and pretty much turn into sugars.

HealthyEating #20: Too much of everything is bad. For example, too much watermelon is NOT a good for your body because of the sugar content.

Beyond and above these great tips and ideas shared by Rowena, here are some practical guiding principles on Holistic Health & Weight Management as espoused by the wonderful women of WWN community:

➤ Learn to love who you are now and who you are dreaming of becoming;

➤ Incorporate a physical activity or exercise routine at home, or a number of routines at the gym;

➤ As best as you can, avoid eating late into the night, and always have a healthy snack(s) handy to assuage hunger pangs in between meals;

➤ Practice mindful grocery shopping, mindful eating and mindful resting i.e. be aware of what, when, where and how you eat. Be present! Make it a fun, thankful, celebratory, meaningful, sensual and spiritually-conscious exercise;

➤ Have clarity about your WHY! Why do you want to be healthy? Find the connections between your reasons and your bigger purpose, passions and path in life;

➤  Then, articulate and write down the little steps you will take to achieve your goals (WWN Coaching Program, “90-Day to a Healthier, Happier, Sexier, Wealthier, Whole YOU” includes a Quantum Goal Setting and Goal Getting session with a professional coach);

➤ Get together with people that share your goals and be accountable to each other. Celebrate all your wins, small and big and reward yourselves for taking aligned, consistent and positive ACTIONS;

➤ Take baby steps, the idea here is not to change overnight or go on a crash diet but rather to gradually ease into healthier lifestyle one day at a time;

➤ Do NOT diet. It never works in the long-term and may even make the situation worse. Look at the first three letter of the word (Die)t. Get the clue? Focus more on behavioural and lifestyle changes, take it a day at a time.

Ladies, at Whole Woman Network, your dress sizes are not S(small), M(medium), L(large) or XL(extra large). Your authentic selves are sized: S(sexy/sensual), M(magnificent/majestic), L (luscious/lovely), XL (extra ‘look-at-me-i’m gorgeous’)! Take your pick!
