Colourful foods

My fridge...something personal but colourful & of course extremely good for you.

my fridge.
I enjoy food shopping, some people hate it, some people love it - i love it. A funny thing to enjoy doing but when i arrive home & fill my cupboards & fridge with healthy food it makes things feel complete, clean & healthy.

There is only Anthony & i but i love having a variety of things for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

The greener, the redder, the bluer the better when it comes to foods that are good for you.
Colorful fruits and vegetables like broccoli, tomatoes, carrots & oranges have lots of different antioxidants, lots of different phyto chemicals. 
Phyto chemicals are naturally occurring plant compounds that may prevent disease. 
I hope you eat at least five servings of vegetables every day & only two fruit per day.
  • Green vegetables like broccoli, spinach and romaine that protect eyesight and the immune system.
  • Red strawberries, cherries, tomatoes and apples improve heart and brain functions
  • Yellows and oranges like grapefruit, squash and carrots boost the immune system.
  • Blueberries, blackberries, purple grapes, eggplant and plums may help reduce some cancers and keep memory sharp.
Would love to know what your favourite thing is to cook with & i promise ill post some great recipes soon.

Mind over matter.

Only you can create the body you want....only you can make the decisions to make this work. It's up to you to be who you want to be...you are the strongest person in your life. Your mind is the most powerful part of your body. And your mind will decide whether or not you achieve your goals. Stop blaming other people for you not achieving the things you want to achieve.

It's about training your mind to be positive and make decisions that will make you reach your goals in life. You can do it, tell your mind that.

If your not prepared to challenge yourself & make a change, be happy with who you are today.
