Blueberries, strawberries, cashews, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, brazils, kiwi fruit, carrots, broccoli, apples, oranges are all great examples on how to deal with the colds, flu and sorts of illnesses sweeping the country at the moment.
All of these foods offer remarkable support for your immune system in all sorts of ways.
I would much rather take these foods in every day, than lower my immune system and accept the seemingly inevitable of colds flu etc and in general feeling run down, it doesn’t have to be that way if you eat a lot of fresh natural foods and exercise well throughout the week.
This is always a powerful combination is keeping your general feeling of wellbeing at its highest level.
Contrast that with individuals who consume alcohol most days, eat ready meals or low quality food, and eat little or no fruit and vegetables.
If you have been on both sides of those examples, I don’t need to tell you then how good it feels to be eating well every day and how energy giving it is to have good quality exercise in your life. These are facts, and everyone who lives this kind of healthy lifestyle will testify them to be true!!!
When you are exercising hard, you also need these foods to replace nutrients lost during exercise. Good quality foods are needed even more when engaged in tough physical efforts because you want your body to repair itself in a good way, and not feed it junk because as you break your body down by exercise, you want it built up with high quality nutrients and not low grade chemical junk found in low quality meals such as ready meals and all of their cheap copy cat products on the market!
Its all fine to concentrate on looking lean and worry about the slightest weight gain but surely its far more important to look and feel good ON THE INSIDE?!!!
If you look after your insides and feed it with quality fresh and natural food, your body will look after you a thousand times more!!!
Give it a go!!!

Hi Keri,
Reading all your blogs and thoroughly enjoying them. It’s sense all the way.
I had very good news last week. After years of believing that I had asthma I was officially tested and found to be clear. Looks like my wheezy chest is down to allergies, which can be dealt with a lot easier than asthma!!
This news will make me more positive about getting out there again. In all honesty I have done no training as I have felt so lethargic, but now I know what’s going on with my body I can approach things differently.
Thanks for all your encouragement Keri, it really doesn’t fall on deaf ears just slightly muffled ones!!!!
great, great news debs and this should give u the confidence to proceed and reach former levels. Jean is getting everything back on track again and anything i can do to help, just let me know!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
