1. Go for a walk – There is nothing more refreshing or eco-friendly than going for a stroll! It uses absolutely no carbon energy and can be a replacement for your school or work trip meaning you save on petrol as well as keeping fit!

2. Eat seasonally – Save on energy consumption by buying local, seasonal and fresh produce. Try not to buy anything that has been flown in from abroad and have a go at trying some new foods to mix up your diet!

3. Go to a local exercise class – Support your local community and businesses by attending a local exercise class. Whether it’s pilates, yoga or spinning this can be a great way to trim up and meet new people in the area.

4. Take your nutrients – Shops like Holland & Barretts provide a great range of vitamins and supplements that will help keep you fighting fit and your metabolism high.

5. Cycle to work – Cycling has many benefits for your body. It’s great cardiovascular exercise and, now the weather is warming up, can be a brilliant way to get to and from work.

6. Don’t take too many baths! - Not only do too many baths waste water and energy, they are also bad for your skin! Having too many can dry out your skin meaning you require more moisturiser and products that can be detrimental to your bodily health.

7. Get your Five-a-day – Make sure you get your recommended five fruits and vegetables a day. Keep them seasonal, keep them local and try them in all kinds of combinations. You will be surprised what a difference it can make to how you feel.

8. Lose weight the sensible way – Don’t invest time, money and energy in fad dieting and overpriced exercise machines. Go for a run, take the kids to the park and eat right and you will see that weight come off at a healthy rate that is maintainable.

9. Eat less meat – Get your protein from other sources, such as nuts, and help cut your personal carbon footprint as well as naturally increasing the healthy foods you eat during the day.

10. Have fun – Enjoy the outdoors, enjoy your food and look and feel eco-fabulous!

On Saturday the medical editor of the UK Times reviewed the last 5 years of medical research and news and wrote: “unless you have significant joint problems, one single piece of advice will help to prevent or treat most malaises you can think of: exercise more than you are at the moment.”

There’s not much that exercise won’t improve. We’re bombarded with health education messages about everything from heart disease to cancer, but unless you have significant joint problems, one single piece of advice will help to prevent or treat most malaises you can think of: exercise more than you are at the moment. Finding time and motivation is the tricky bit.

Well, help is at hand. Check out my article on dealing with exercise excuses and our powerful Exercise Motivation self-hypnosis CD – you can listen to an excerpt online before you buy.

We have recently extended the range of self-hypnosis CDs we sell and now have ones to Improve Memory, Stop Smoking and Achieve Financial Success. You can view the full range here.
