So, what’s a girl to do?

The lure of the vending machine is ever present and threatens to derail all of her health and fitness goals. But how can she possibly make sure she gets all of the nutrients she needs for a healthy life when she’s on her feet for most of the day? Fortunately, we live in an age where technology and food science has made getting good quality nutrition easier than ever. While vitamin supplements are cheaper and more readily available than ever there’s no substitute from getting your nutrition from natural (and if possible organic) sources. ​

HERE ARE SOME QUICK AND EASY WAYS FOR EVEN THE BUSIEST WOMAN
​TO TAKE CARE OF HER BODY...

Detox teas
There are few things more comforting than a steaming mug of your favorite hot drink in the morning, especially on a cold winter morning. Most of us are happy with a black tea, a coffee or maybe a green tea but there are a great many detox teas on the market that will give you the same sense of comfort while giving your body much needed nutrients. With so many teas on the market it can be hard to know which is the right kind for your personal goals. Check out detoxteaguide.com to find the right one for you. A little more nutrition in no time at all. 

Juicing
It’s no secret that few of us are getting the quotient of fresh vegetables that we should, but their fibrous content makes them tricky to gorge on throughout the day. That’s why a good juicer deserves a space in every kitchen. Your juices should be mainly vegetable based with low sugar fruits like berries to provide some sweetness. Keep hold of the pulp, too. There are many ways in which you can put it to good use to get your daily dose of fiber.

Smoothies
Only have time for a liquid lunch? That’s no reason to miss out on the much needed nutrients to help you power through your day. A good smoothie maker is essential to turn any combination of fruits and veggies into a nutritious drink. Make sure you get lots of spinach and broccoli in there for minerals and protein as well as bananas for energy giving potassium. 

Finding the right recipes
When you get home after a busy day, you may not be inclined to slave over a hot stove but this shouldn’t impede your access to a healthy diet. The truth is that a nutritious meal needn’t require hours and hours of preparation. There are plenty of recipe books that will allow you a balanced, varied and nutritious diet without ever spending more than 15 minutes at a time preparing and cooking your meals.
