Sleep... zzzzZZz

So many good things happen in our body while we are sleeping and the best part of all is that we don't have to do anything and its free, everybody loves free stuff! While we are sleeping the body releases growth hormone to repair damage from the days stress. Research shows that sleep can help improve memory, curb inflammation, spur creativity, sharpen attention, have a healthy weight and improve memory. For those who are training, a well rested athlete looks forward to workouts, enjoys doing them, feels sharp, and in control during training sessions and grows stronger after. Frequent rest is beneficial to fitness.
Here are some tips to get the best sleep you can.
Go to bed at a regular time each night.
As bedtime approaches, unwind slowly by reading, going for a short walk, doing some deep breathing or meditation. 
Sleep in a dark room, switch off all lights/technology.
Get a comfortable pillow, I recommend a memory foam pillow, they may be slightly more expensive but you can't put a price on a good nights sleep!
Take a warm bath or shower before bed.
Drink herbal tea to promote relaxation.
When lying in bed, progressively contract and relax your muscles to induce total body relaxation. 
Also avoid stimulants such as coffee, caffeinated tea and coke. 

Happy Dreams...

impossible is nothing

Kiwifruit

Yum little snack. Kiwifruit, grapes, yoghurt and a handful of oats. 

I love Kiwifruit, definitely one of my favourite fruits, here are a few cool facts about Kiwifruit...

Kiwifruit consistently rank at the top of fruit in nutrition density models which tell us exactly how nutritious food is. That means you get more vitamins and minerals per gram, and per calorie, of kiwifruit than most other fruit.

There is twice as much vitamin C in kiwifruit as there are in oranges.

Kiwifruit are naturally high in antioxidants and other potentially-beneficial phytochemicals.

Kiwifruit help ward off the effects of stress, inflammation and attack from bacteria and viruses. 

Recent and ongoing trials have shown kiwifruit to be highly-effective at beneficially modulating the immune system.

Kiwifruit are recognised widely as a natural digestive aid, this is due to the unique combination of fibre and other components in kiwifruit. 

Listen to your body, train as if you love your body :)
