Set the tone for your entire day!

The way you start your morning can set the standard for your entire day. For example, if you wake up after a late night and feel tired and grumpy, chances are that mood will stay with you all day. If you wake up well rested and spend a few quite moments meditating, you will most likely remain in a calm and positive mood and will be able to face whatever challenges the day may bring. The same applies to what you choose to consume in the morning.

Gulping three cups of coffee will get you moving but will leave you feeling on edge. A sugary cereal for breakfast will ensure a 3pm slump at the office. However, if you choose to ‘break your fast’ with hydrating fresh fruit and immune boosting vitamins and supplements, you will be fuelled with the right ingredients to give you the energy you need to get through the day. Not only this, but studies have shown that you are more likely to make healthy food choices throughout the day if your first meal of the day is healthy.

Start strong to end strong

We understand that sometimes the day can run away with you. You may even find that you get to the end of the day without have eaten something nourishing or even taken a sip of water. This can lead you to binge during the night. Rather take a little extra time to start your day on the right note, these healthier choices will benefit you in so many ways throughout the day!
