6 health and fitness tips you can use daily

Here are 6 of the top health and fitness tips, ranging from healthy eating habits to programs for exercising.  These are health and fitness tips that will help you with weight loss and an overall healthier lifestyle. 
1. Drink plenty of water.  This is something that you have likely heard many times already, and there is a good reason for this.  Drinking water helps to decrease your appetite and eliminate cravings.  It also nourishes and hydrates your body on the inside and out.  This includes your skin.  If you can, you want to drink half of your body weight in ounces per day. 
2. If you want to lose weight quicker and have a healthier heart, you should really think about trying some interval cardio training.  Try the basic formula of sprinting and then walking in back-to-back intervals.  Find a flat stretch of road that is about 50 yards long, and sprint the whole thing.  Come back taking a slow walk.  Repeat this as many times as you can.  Keep in mind that you need to warm up first, and you should also cool down when you complete the workout. This kind of training will increase your metabolism, burn extra fat, and take less time than other cardio workouts.
3. Avoid sugar at all costs!  This is one of the most important health and fitness tips.  Your body releases insulin when you take in sugar.  Insulin makes your body store fat.  This is why you actually gain more weight when you eat those fat-free foods with extra sugar.  Examine product labels and avoid foods that have a lot of sugar and high fructose corn syrup.  These two ingredients are commonly found in the so-called healthy breakfast cereals and bars.
4. Try to add more of the following into your diet:
 •    Olive oil
 •    Natural peanut butter
 •    Whole grains
 •    Eggs
 •    Fish
 •    Poultry
 •    Apples
 •    Berries
 •    Almonds
 •    Protein powder
 •    Water
By consuming these foods you will burn more body fat and improve your health.
5. Add weight training to your workout.  By adding muscle to your body, you will increase your life expectancy, give your body strength and burn body fat.  You can tone up by using a weight that you can lift 8-12 times.  You can add bulk by using a weight that you can lift 4-6 times.  Practice your weight training routine 2-3 times a week, and keep each session under 45 minutes.
6. You should always take a quality multivitamin.  In general, hardly anyone gets enough vitamins and minerals just by consuming food.  This is why you have to take a vitamin in conjunction with healthy eating habits.  Most people are lacking severely in omega-3 fatty acids, and this is supposedly what contributes to a lot of health issues, namely obesity.  The easiest way to get omega-3's in your diet is by taking fish oil softgels.  You want to take between 2,000 to 3,000 mg a day.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, however if you follow these simple health and fitness tips, you will be well on your way to a healthier you!

A plateful of colour in the Summer

In our quest for healthy eating we should look closer at what to eat.
Natural chemicals in plant foods are known to protect, heal and repair our body.
Eating a diet, high in various colours from plant food will bring a host of phytochemicals (chemicals in plants) which are known to deliver health benefits along with the vitamins, minerals and fibre they also contain.
The assortment from our plant foods bring red, green, white, purple, yellow and orange pigments which deliver these special chemicals to support health.
An example to try Beetroot.
This is high nutrient dence food, but look closer at the phytochemicals in the plant we can see that they help in liver detoxification and inflammation and cardiovascular benefits such as keeping blood pressure levels healthy.
