Velca 6-Week Summer Shape Up

This month the super-fit team at Velca Health Centre want their clients to start thinking about getting fit, healthy and in shape for summer, with the emphasis on nutrition, boot camps, Pilates and personal training, focusing on chiro, physio and massage. Summer is fast approaching and Velca boot camps are back due to popular demand and they would like to remind people  that classes began at the start of November. There are limited spaces available so people need to get in touch and book their spot now.

As the team at Velca say, “The days are slowly becoming longer and warmer, which means more time in the day for exercise, healthy eating and motivation. If your goal is to lose some of that winter coat you enjoyed for those colder months of hibernation (that’s our story and we’re sticking to it!) or to just be healthier, eight weeks is definitely enough time to do so. To get healthier, fitter or leaner, whatever your goal, know that one thing is key; nutrition. Once we have that sorted, everything else should follow. Your energy will increase, your belly will de-bloat and you’ll start to get the motivation to move!”

The Velca team want people to start thinking about cooler, more summery meals like salads, juices, smoothies and fruits, not to mention the occasional family barbecue as we need to eat foods that are light on the stomach but also nourishing and nutritious. A diet high in sugar, trans fat, sodium and processed carbohydrates all impact the liver by having to process it all. It takes approximately 21 days for your liver to regenerate completely and 21 days to make or break a habit.

Excess accumulation of toxins within the tissues of our body is not only the reason of why we get cellulite, but also why we lack energy and experience “brain fog”. Ever wonder why you always seem to want a coffee or some sort of “fake” energy boost around 2:30pm in the afternoon?  This is your digestive system trying to process the food already consumed, and could be a tell tail sign of another major issue; dehydration.

By making simple changes to our diet with what we eat and drink can give us the energy we need to enjoy the beautiful weather to come. The better we feel the happier we are and eating healthy doesn’t mean eating boring food.
