Marna’s fave smoothie
After over-indulging during the holidays, a healthy smoothie is a great idea.
Here’s Marna’s favourite recipe:
You’ll need: 2 cups of coconut water; ½ pineapple, peeled and cored; ¼
papaya, peeled and pitted; ½ cucumber, cubed; 1 ½ teaspoon of fresh ginger,
grated; 1 teaspoon turmeric powder; ice
How to: Add all the ingredients to a blender. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds or
until smooth.
Eight tips to master
better habits in 2022
1
Make SPF your BFF. Using a good
sunscreen even on cloudy days
is so important it will shield your skin
from signs of ageing and sun damage.
2
Exercise at least three times a
week for 30 minutes. Studies have
shown that exercising only two to
three times a week will slow down the
ageing process by 25 per cent.
3
Get enough sleep. At least six
to eight hours a day. Sleep not
only helps our minds switch off but
also assists in weight loss and a
happy mood.
4
Add a spoonful of collagen to
your coffee in the morning. The
benefits are endless. Less wrinkles, no
achy joints, strong and healthy bones
to name a few.
5
Be mindful. Studies have shown
that getting in tune with
ourselves through mindfulness
improves wellbeing and brings
down stress.
6
Punctuate your day with a minimeditation
with one minute of
awareness of your thoughts, feelings,
and sensations - one minute of
focused attention on breathing and
one minute of awareness of the body
as a whole.
7
Be kind to yourself. Imagine being
your own best friend. Praise
yourself rather than wait for others to
do it. Remember you are enough!
8
Try something new. Trying
new things not only helps us
to vanquish those fears, but it also
allows us to expand our minds and
learn — both about said new thing,
and about ourselves. And then there’s
the rush. There’s nothing quite like or
as memorable as the thrill of a new
experience.
