Busy, Healthy, Fit Life by Nicole.

My journey to find better health in this busy world. All by making one simple change! Paramedic, medical student, fiancée and parent to 3 (fur) babies.

As a Paramedic and Medical Student - I know what stress can do to our bodies. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, inactive lifestyle, effects of drinking and smoking are our leading risk factors of preventable disease and death in Australia. For me, Never finding enough time to eat healthy or exercise, my health had rapidly began to decline. Constantly feeling tired, run down and exhau

sted - I knew it was time for a change. I knew what food and exercise I needed, but for one reason or another I just wan't reaching these goals everyday. I had no energy to exercise
I was overwhelmed with not only the cost and time involved preparing fresh food, but the amount of fresh produce needed everyday to reach my 5+2 targets. Constant trips to the Grocery Store + left over produce going to waste - I thought there must be an easier and more convenient way. This is when I was introduced to Juice Plus+
Initially a sceptic, I ignored offers for a long time. It wasn't until I looked into the research myself that I realised there may be some real benefits for me (and others too). Juice Plus+ aims to bridge the gap between the fuel your body needs with the nutrients lacking in our diets. For me, it is comforting to know that I am fuelling my body with the right foods even when I am time and money poor - all for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day. Benefits since I have started:
- Improved skin and nails
- Increased energy
- I am back at the gym
- Improved recovery (no more second day soreness!)
- Studying more efficiently
- Overall improvement in mood
- Fitter, Healthier and Happier. I have only just started by journey with Juice Plus+, but I cannot wait to share this journey with you & help others achieve their wellness goals. Products include:

IRON... an important element in the oxygen carrying haemaglobin within red blood cells, good sleep and memory.

More than 500 million people across the world are said to have iron deficiency!
We need 7-11mg a day, but only 25% of the iron we eat is absorbed.

Factors such as anaemia, pregnancy, breast feeding, exercise, and even tea, coffee and sugar mean we need even more!
Without adequate iron levels you may begin to feel short of breath, tired, foggy, confusion, skin acne muscle aches and anaemia.

Foods rich in IRON include:
- broccoli
- cauliflower
- pumpkin seeds
- parsley
- lentils
- eggs.
- cheese

Simply add some pumpkin seeds to a salad this Christmas for an extra Iron hit..

Or take a look at our JP+ complete and capsules.
One shake contains 26% of your daily required intake !!!
Easy and convenient way to get important vitamins and minerals everyday :)

The most simple and easiest way to correct this balance is to increase fruit and veg intake in your daily diet!

MAGNESIUM !!!

Did you know we need 600-1000mg of Mg a day?
We need even more when we are exposed to factors such as stress, pregnancy, high levels of exercise, diets high in grains and sugars and even some medications!

When we don't get enough we may begin to feel fatigued, muscle cramps, depression, irritability and trouble sleeping. .. Sound familiar???

Mg helps to calm the body and mind, increase energy levels, stabilise mood, assist in sugar regulation, lower blood pressure, muscle relaxation plus much more!

Magnesium rich foods include:
- spinach
- parsley
- avocado
- green beans
- barley
- garlic

Need help getting your daily requirements of Mg?

Back in office for the next 2 months.. 🚑🚑🚑

1 week down... and a solid reminder of the highs and lows of Ambo life brings.

As much as it feels like not much has changed... This has been a big year !
Such a good feeling to be hitting those goals.. especially ones that seemed well out of my reach 12 months ago

This year I turned my toxic lifestyle around.
I went from the unhealthiest I have ever been, to on my way to being my best..

Sometimes we are so far from where we want to be, that we use that as an excuse to not let ourselves even try.
Step out of that comfort zone and jump straight in.

Don't look back in another years time and wish you started today!

There is no better time than NOW..
