Hi all, Thank you for taking the time to read through the December Body Essence Newsletter! I hope you can find something of value in here. Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas period, and rather than feeling stressed and overwhelmed leading up to Christmas, try and see the joy of this time instead. It's never about the cost of the presents and the extravagance of the day, its about enjoying family and friends. Let love, gratitude and enjoyment replace the burdens and stress. But above all else, where you can choose healthy options then do so, but I encourage everyone to be human and to enjoy treats and overindulge now and again. There is no time and place for feeling guilty for having a chocolate Santa or a piece of Christmas cake. Eat it, enjoy it and never give it another thought! Inspiration of the Month It has long been suggested a lack of sleep can have a negative impact on weight, but often people are unsure why. There are many reasons that this association between sleep duration (less than five hours or more than nine hours), sleep quality and weight gain are connected, and for everyone the reasons may vary. Some common connections between lack of sleep and weight gain
Tips for improving your quality of sleep and feelings of tiredness
Oats are a great alternative to wheat-based products for adding in variety or people with gluten/wheat intolerances. They are very high in Dietary Fibre, a good wholesome source of complex carbohydrates, high in healthy protein, and are a rich source of magnesium for people who suffer from muscle cramps, heart problems, anxiety and low moods. Oats can be added to your diet in many ways – check out this month’s homemade muesli recipe! Ingredients
Directions Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Melt the coconut oil and honey together in a saucepan over a low heat. Spread the oats in a large oven dish and drizzle the oil and honey over the top, and mix to combine. Place oats in oven and cook for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Check oats half way and mix with a spoon. Once cooked, and partially cooled, tip the oats into a large mixing bowl. When completely cooled, add all remaining ingredients and stir well. Transfer into a Tupperware container with a sealed lid and store in a cool and dark place. That's all from me today! Have a great December, keep being grateful for everything you have in your life, smile everyday, frown less and love life! Warmest regards, Kerri van de Loo Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach
