Your July Challenge — Ready for Veggies!
Stay happy this winter
Winter is rough, right?! It’s hard to keep chasing your health & fitness goals when summertime seems so far away and you’re all wrapped up like a cosy burrito in your winter clothes.
Really, the last thing you feel like eating is something as boring or unsatisfying as a salad.
Here in Australia, we think of ourselves as being pretty healthy. Yeah, maybe we like the odd mince pie or cheeky kebab on a Friday night, but overall, we do alright with our fruit & veg — right..?
The reality may shock you….
Two out of three Australian adults are not eating enough veg
A recent report revealed that two thirds of us don’t fit five serves of veg into each day, while half of us don’t get the recommended two serves of fruit!
What’s so good about vegetables anyway?
It’s not just silly government dietary guidelines saying more is better when it comes to vegetables.
Increased veggie intake is associated with serious benefits such as better gut health, reduced risk of heart disease, and a longer lifespan — and that’s just the big stuff!
The list of less major but still awesome side effects of eating more veggies includes:
- Boosting your energy levels
- Improving your mood & mental alertness
- Clear skin
- Better recovery from exercise or illness
- And even reduced stress levels!
What about weight loss?
If you’re wanting to burn fat or build lean muscle, vegetables should be your new best friend.
With their high water and fiber content, veggies help fill you up for very few calories, while providing all kinds of vitamin & mineral goodness your body needs to look and perform at it’s best.
