Eating Well For Busy Mums

Are you feeling tired, stressed and lacking in energy?
If you are a working mum, we know that combining this with raising a family can be challenging; cleaning the house, making lunches, dinner and snacks, driving kids to school and after school commitments, doing the laundry, shopping for the household and then trying to deliver on all your work commitments can leave you feeling pretty exhausted and drained! If this sounds like you then try these tips for hardworking mums:

Eat well. A balanced diet filled with fresh fruits, vegetables and rich in fibre will help you feel full and reduce you snacking on junk food. If you are feeling stressed and run down add a protein shake to your daily snacks as it will help to reduce fatigue and boost energy levels.
Make time to sleep. Sleep is vital to both your physical health and your emotional wellbeing. Without it, you can’t function properly and your immune function and metabolism may also be compromised.  If you have trouble sleeping, talk to your Go Vita naturopath who can suggest some natural remedies for you to try.
Exercise when you can. Not only will exercise help keep your weight under control, but it’ll do wonders for your positive outlook on life! Walking is ideal, and make sure you choose a route that incorporates a few hills or staircases.
Naturopath, Peter Balogh at Go Vita Tanunda recommends that you try a multi. He suggests a good broad-spectrum multivitamin every day.  A very simple strategy, but at the end of the day you can’t afford to be sick so getting the right nutrients daily can help support your immune system and keep you well. You will also find that the right combination of nutrients will also do wonders for your hair, skin and nails. So not only will you feel great but you’ll look great too!
