FIVE HEALTHY HABITS TO START TODAY

DRINK MORE WATER “Dehydration is one of the main causes of fatigue. Whether I’m at work or at home, there’s always water at hand,” Jessica says. PROTEIN IS KEY “It’s an essential macronutrient and often people don’t have enough of it. If you don’t include protein – meat, eggs, legumes – in every meal you’re not going to feel full or satisfied.” DON’T GO HOME HUNGRY “On my programme I include a 4-5 pm protein-rich snack and it’s helped so many people overcome binge eating. If you come home from work hungry and tired you’re going to want to eat everything in the fridge.” GO SLOW “Chew each mouthful 10-20 times. You’re less likely to want seconds.” REDUCE STRESS “The best way to take care of your health – the number one thing – is to reduce stress levels. Cortisol, the stress hormone, affects your digestive system because when we’re not relaxed, food doesn’t properly digest. Find ways to deal with stress – something as simple as a cup of camomile tea, breathing exercises or even yoga can do wonders.”
