The skies are sunny and Spring is everywhere....but I've been spending a lot of time taking my folks to doctors and hospital visits...spending so much time around sick people and the elderly has made me take a good look at my own health....I always have the best intentions but continually fall of the healthy bandwagon...It really is time to take not only mine, but also my man's health seriously. I really want us to enjoy old age (not there just yet!) and think it's really important to do as much as you can to maintain a healthy mind, body and soul.
Juicing is an easy way to get lots of good stuff into you...I keep forgetting to make them...will aim for 4 times a week....it's messy cleaning out the juicer but worth it.

| My favourite mix, organic carrots, apples, oranges and kale from the vegie patch |
 |
| Drink straight away....I really love the taste of this one. |
Eat more vegies...I shop weekly at the local organic store in Kallista...the amazing colours of fresh fruit and vegies bursting with goodness.....also need to up the fruit intake...don't think we are doing the two pieces of fruit per day.
 |
| Lovely organic vegies...the milk is what I use to make my own yoghurt and the organic sourdough is made locally. |
Healthy lunches....today was chicken and avocado with garden greens and feta.....will try to enjoy salad vegies daily...it is tricky over winter but so easy when the sun is shining..
 |
| Today's lunch.....I love avocado and use it on sandwiches instead of butter.. |
Keep growing our vegies...the broccoli finally got some good solid heads on them...will pick these babies for dinner tomorrow night..
 |
| Beautiful broccoli heads...finally.. |
On the weekend I purchased a seed sprouter...I know you can sprout in a jar but I think it will be easier in this contraption....instructions say sprouts in 3 - 5 days.....see how we go...it's only been one day so far...should be great to add to salads.
 |
| Sprouting seeds....alfalfa and been shoots |
Also need to concentrate on fitness....my man's okay...but I am very unfit...will try to walk the dogs everyday and continue with my yoga practice...along with a busy garden and house to maintain that will hopefully be enough....While keeping my spirit strong with meditation......Namaste.
What do you do to stay healthy ?
I have just sold my juicer and it's large and I haven't used it for years as I have a Thermomix. When I did use the juicer I used to put a supermarket plastic bag into the container that the pulp goes into (ie like a bin lining on your rubbish bin) small you need to do is once the juice is made tie up the plastic bag and maybe double bag it as sometimes the juice from the pulp can leak through.
