12 Wk Health Blitz Challenge - Week 7


All things Green and Wonderful

This is a great week to go and try those fresh fruit and vegetables that you have seen but never tried before. Have fun with this and go to the Adelaide Central Markets and see what you can find and then cook a new recipe.

Your body will thank you for introducing more green vegetables to your diet as they are one of the main dietary sources of fibre and are full of antioxidants, vitamin and minerals.

For more information on the benefits of “All things Green and Wonderful” have a read of this great article by Natural Health Australia –



Keeping things flowing – the importance of fibre  

Here are some interesting facts on fibre, which is found in abundance in green fruit and vegetables.

Fact 1: Fibre is a plant-based food that your body cannot digest

Fact 2: Fibre helps to transport cholesterol out of your body

Fact 3: Fibre helps you fill fuller for longer

Healthy Eating Tip: Replace processed food with whole and natural foods. Think of the “Human Interference” factor, the more interference the stronger the case to replace it.

Motivational Tip: Find a picture of the body you want and place a copy of your face on the picture. Then place this image of you on the fridge door or somewhere you look at everyday.


Good luck with week 7 J
