Being Healthy...

Hey!
Hope you're all doing well and today is a good day for you. There is a topic that I wanted to always talk about but never know how to get around it and that is 'being healthy'. There are so many perceptions of what we 'must' be from social media, and the pressure today to be tall, skinny and tanned is ridiculous. My thoughts on the whole idea is:

"If you're body is healthy and there are no posing health risks, and you're happy with yourself, be happy, don't let anyone else tell what you should and shouldn't look like or what you should and shouldn't eat".

The idea of loosing weight, going to the gym and dieting is increasing to get the 'summer body' but I've found that do it for yourself and not for other people, If you want to get toned and have a flat stomach do it, but don't force yourself or be pressured into doing so if everyone else is. The only factor that I believe is appropriate to loose weight and being told to loose weight is if there is any posing health risks and loosing weight would help decrease this, for example high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease, then there is a need to loose weight for those specific reasons.

Being healthier is something that I am striving towards, not to loose weight but just to feel happier and healthier inside. To do this is set goals/tasks, that I knew would make a change.

My Goals/Tasks:
1. Eat more 'superfoods' = right now I am loving kale which is supposed to hold more vitamins and minerals. Other supposed 'superfoods' = broccoli, pomegranate, quinoa.

2. Drink more water = water can be super boring, so adding slices of lemon and lime make it more interesting, and much nicer. Along with that there are plenty of benefits, it helps detox any nasty toxins within the body, overall has made me feel healthier.

3. Still have a treat = I am never going to become this super healthy individual but making small changes help, and having a treat is important, at the end of the day eating what you love is important. There is no way I am ever going to cut out chocolate cake in my diet haha!

Overall being healthy I feel is important and making steps to being healthier can make a change to how you feel as an individual. But what I don't believe in is being forced to loose weight if there is no supposed need unless its a goal of yours.

Thank you for reading! I would love to hear your comments on 'loosing weight and being healthy' below in the comments and any tips or foods you eat that keep you healthy :). I hope the rest of the week is good, and I will see you all soon.

Love
