supplements or speciality
ingredients.

goodies together in a
blender and enjoy!

Water, water, water!
We cannot stress it enough;
the benefits of drinking
water are endless. Apart
from the obvious health
paybacks, when it comes
to overall feel-good vibes,
water is a no-brainer, and it
is vital for our well-being. It
plumps up the skin, releases
toxins and hydrates the
body by carrying nutrients to
the cells and oxygen to the
brain. By allowing the body
to absorb and integrate the
different minerals, amino
acids, glucose, vitamins and
similar substances necessary
for optimal wellness, it keeps
us in tip top shape. Water
also helps to regulate body
temperature, so drink up! Try
to consume between two
and three litres every day for
optimal effect.
Mindfulness
matters
We tend to forget that
mental health is just as
important as physical
well-being. Fundamental to
a balanced, healthy life, your
mental health encompasses
emotional, psychological
and social well-being. It
impacts every aspect of
our daily lives, affecting
how we think, feel and
behave, contributing to
how we cope with stress,
the decisions we make as
well as how we relate to
other people and situations
that we encounter, both
in and out of our control.
If you feel that your
mental condition is not
as healthy as it should be,
it is important to talk to a
professional. Psychologist
