‘Winter is coming…’ Jon Snow, Game of Thrones
Jon
Snow is correct, Winter IS coming!! We’ve spent the summer preparing
for the few days of sun where we can whip our tops off and don our
bikinis, and hope desperately that they fall on a weekend or bank
holiday!
But
what is a Summer Body? The phrase itself is narrow: do we only want a
body for Summer? In the UK that’s arguably only 2-3 days, and
additionally the methods and techniques used to acquire such a body have
been found to be at times unhealthy and at worst fraudulent.
Here
at Some Good we want to take a fresh angle on health. We understand
that health for many people is epitomised by an external silhouette, and
we agree that feeling confident is important. However there is more to a
healthy body than weight management. We’ve
defined what we call a Winter Body. We believe this is being healthy in
body and mind, whilst looking and feeling great, all year long.
Learn to think inside out
Getting
all your organs working efficiently is the key to looking and feeling
good. Eating foods with a anti-inflammatory effect will help you keep
your liver in great shape, which in turn means healthier blood and a
healthier heart. Often people that appear over weight also carry lot of
internal fat, called visceral fat. This is stored in the belly and
collects around the organs, reducing their effectiveness. If important
organs such as the liver are not working properly, your body then
struggles to process sugars, which many top scientists believe is the
major contributing factor in obesity.
Having
a healthy mind usually goes in hand in hand with having a healthy body.
Exercise is not just great for losing weight: it releases chemicals in
your brain that will make you feel happier. Exercising doesn't just mean
going to the gym or running a marathon. If you are struggling for
confidence just try and take 10 minutes out of your day to do some light
exercise around your house. Try and eat foods that contain high
levels of amino acids. They are great for improving your brain function
and will also help your muscles recover after exercise.
When
you eat foods containing the right nutrients and take regular light
exercise, your body will begin to function better. When your body is
working well on the inside, you will very quickly start to look and feel
better!
How can Some Good Lingonberries help?
Lingonberries
contain high amounts of the antioxidants you need to help you achieve
all around health. Quercetin is an antixodant that has an
anti-inflammatory effect on the body, and lingonberries have this in
abundance. They also contain 22 amino acids; more than any other berry.
Where do our Lingonberries come from?
Some Good lingonberries grow wild in the Great
Khingan mountain region of China. We pick and then dry them gently, so
none of their important properties
are damaged. They are then crushed, tested and packed, before being
distributed ethically around the globe, where we hope they will do Some
Good ...
