Some of my New Year's Resolutions | Elle

Hello Everyone,
Elle here. Today I would just like to share some of my 2016 resolutions and would love to see some of yours in the comments too!

My first resolution is to drink at least 1 1/2 litres of water a day!
 

Water can benefit your body so much, not just making a big difference on the outside, but on the inside too:

  • It can help you to lose weight
  • Fights infections
  • Helps you get rid of body toxins 
  • Helps to keep our heart healthy
  • Boosts your energy
  • Helps to prevent arthritis and joint pain
  • Prevents constipation
  • Reduces risk of cancer
  • Improves Productivity
 All those things can be improved by drinking water, but that is all for the inside of your body. Here is improvements that you can see happening:
  • Reduces wrinkles
  • Reduces age spots
  • Reduces darkness of dark under eye circles.
  • Makes you less bloated
  • Reduces your chances of having a breakout.
  • Reduces acne
  • Reduces water weight
  • Makes you look more awake and fresh. 
All these benefits add up to help you look and feel a lot better and fresher. I usually don't drink a lot of water during the day so this will be a challenge for me, but the more you drink, the better you will feel.

My second resolution is to have fruit with my breakfast everyday!

 Now the government has come out with a new policy saying that instead of having five portions of fruit and veg a day, we should be having seven! Now I barely even have one portion a day so this is a very important resolution to get me eating a lot healthier. The benefits of fruit include:

  • Between the hours of seven and eleven in the morning the body is doing to heaviest detoxification, so eating fruit (especially during this time) ensures healing energy is used for detoxification rather than wasting it on digesting unhealthy fatty food.
  • Fruit for breakfast is the perfect way to "break the overnight fast" as it gently wakes the digestive system and metabolism up from a semi-slumber, all without the harsh adrenal of coffee or a fatty meal.
  • If you have fruit for breakfast, you will not need coffee to keep your mind awake as the natural sugars in fruit give your brain quick burst of energy.
  • People who eat fruit with their breakfast have been show to be leaner, healthier and more productive.

My last resolution is to do a half an hour conditioning circuit everyday!

 I am a gymnast and it is very important for a gymnast to be strong in order to get new moves. I am very much a flexible gymnast so building my strength is very important, especially my leg and core strength.
A quick tip is to do a workout routine to a playlist or follow an online video depending on which part of your body you want to work on.

I hope you enjoyed this post!

See you soon,
