Benefits of Being a Healthy Weight

According to the latest data 60% of people in the UK are either overweight or obese.

Being an unhealthy weight not only feels uncomfortable but can increase the risks of getting certain diseases and medical conditions as shown below:-

• Stroke
• Lung disease, asthma and blood clots
• Heart disease
• Diabetes type 2
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Arthritis
• Inflamed veins often accompanied with blood clots
• Fatty Liver and Cirrhosis
• Gall stones
• Certain Cancers

The good news is that research shows that if you lose just 5% of your body weight you can help reduce the risk of getting these diseases and improve your quality of life by giving you increased energy levels and mood.

In the case of how much you should be aiming to lose per week slow and steady wins the race.

Aim to lose 1-2 lbs per week and in doing this you've a better chance of keeping the weight off rather then putting the weight back on and normally extra to boot.

Next week I'll show you the 5 easy steps to help you lose weight and help you on the way to a healthier and fitter you.

Be More Active More Often

Being active more often no matter what your age will help reduce the risk of developing a number of medical conditions,  as being more active and being less sedentary will help strengthen your body and make it much more healthier and fitter. 

Below is a list from NHS Choices, Live Well of how much being more active can help reduce the risk of developing certain diseases and medical conditions and by how much:-

Lower risk of depression and dementia- up to 30%

Lower risk of heart disease and stroke - up to 35%

Lower risk of type 2 diabetes or colon cancer - up to 50%

Lower risk of osteoarthritis - up to 83%

Lower risk of early death - 30%.

As you can see if you move your body more and spend less time sitting around you can live a healthier and fitter life and help reduce the risk of getting the above or controlling some of these medical conditions better if you already have them.

Government guidelines suggest to perform 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise/activity 5 days a week. The definition of moderate exercise is described as being slightly out of breath and slightly perspiring.  Activities include walking, gardening, housework, aerobic classes, cycling, jogging and swimming.

The Eat Clean 5 Day Challenge

It's been a busy week setting up and implementing my first 'Eat Clean 5 Day Challenge.' 

The idea of the challenge is to have a healthy and nutritious protein shake for breakfast, a healthy snack mid morning, lunch, a mid afternoon snack and an evening meal.

This is all done in a support group headed by a Wellness Coach who sends the group helpful nutritional and motivational advice throughout the day.

The participates are set a different challenge each day and slowly build this into their daily routines so it becomes a healthy habit and becomes a part of their new healthy lifestyle.




This is suitable for anyone who wants to lead a healthier lifestyle and start eating better and more regularly in order to help maintain energy levels throughout the day without experiencing an energy crash later on in the day.

Participants are encouraged to post their healthy snacks and meals and are helped in choosing the right types of food, in the right portion sizes and at the right time.   All this is done on 'Whats App' meaning anyone in the country can join in.  People can choose to be in their own friends and family groups or being with others they may not know, to encourage new friendships.

All this for only £10!

Every Monday there will be a new one starting so if you miss one you only have to wait a week to get on the next.  People can stay on it until they are ready to move onto other programs, such as the 21 or 90 day challenges.
