Six spring health tips


When it comes to spring-cleaning, we know our stuff.

Here are our 6 top tips to use this spring as the launchpad for a great summer:

1. Listen to your body

As you transition from the cooler months into the beautiful balmy breeze of spring, listen to your body! Don't go cold turkey on the warmer, more nourishing foods – ease out of your winter diet slowly, gradually integrating more raw and cool foods into your diet.*

2. Take time for you

Every day. 15 min. Do what YOU want to do.

3. Slow down

You may have a spring in your step but that doesn't mean you have to live in fast forward. Be mindful. Eat slowly. Live thoughtfully.

4. Get yourself outside

Warmer weather means more of a chance to enjoy the outdoors. It's amazing what a bit of sunshine and fresh air can do for your health. Get your body moving while you're outside and you've killed two birds with one stone.

5. Indulge in health

Instead of focusing on what you can't eat, indulge in the healthy foods you can enjoy. Spring means gorgeous fresh produce, and new varieties of fruit and veg.

6. Keep it simple

Real, fresh wholefoods. Local and in season if poss.
