Dear subscriber,

Welcome to the first edition of Health and Finesse!

I can't tell you how excited I am that you have joined us in
your journey toward health and wellness!

I'm here to tell you that you're not alone in your journey
toward wellness.

In fact, by joining our team, you've joined thousands of
dedicated people just like you, looking for the 'right
path' on their journey toward healthy living.

In today's chaotic society figuring out what is 'right' from
'wrong' in the world of nutrition can be a challenge. The
media sends so many different mixed messages after all.

One day its 'low carb' the next 'low fat' and the next it's
some body type diet. With so many mixed messages, it's
difficult to sort fact from fiction.

Enter Health and Finesse! As a dedicated health
professional, trust me when I say I know how challenging
eating healthy and living well can be.

My life's purpose is to help ordinary people weed through
the information out there, so they can make smart, healthy
and logical decisions regarding their health and well being.

I started on my journey toward health and wellness several
years ago. Feeling 'fat' and 'sluggish' I decided an
overhaul was in order.

Maybe you've experienced something similar...

Do you wake up feeling tired even though you've had 8 hours
of sleep? Do you feel lethargic and slow? Maybe you have
digestive problems, or simply don't like the way your jeans
pinch against your waist anymore.

Health and wellness is a journey. It requires commitment,
dedication and repetition. I can tell you this... by making
a few impacting changes, you can change your health and well
being. You can change your life in a positive way forever!

The first step toward health and wellness is a frank look at
nutrition. You know that saying "you are what you eat".
Well it's true.

I used to be a doughnut... Seriously!

Anyway, all joking aside. In this newsletter you'll find
tips and tricks for maintaining your health and wellness.
I'll be sure to update you with valuable information and
articles regarding your health and wellness and keep you
apprised of the hottest topics with regard to your fitness
and nutrition.

I hope you find the information in this newsletter
informative and useful... remember that knowledge is power.
With the information contained in this newsletter you will
hopefully be able to make more informed choices about your
health and well being.

Yours in Wellness,

Beverley Brooke

What Exactly Is Good Nutrition?
By: Beverley Brooke
____________________________________________________________

Secretly we all want just a few things in life, none the
least of which is to live a life that is healthy and
energetic. One way to accomplish this is to eat a well
balanced diet that fuels the body to take on life’s
challenges.

Did you know that one of the best things you can do to
improve your overall health and well being is to eat a
diet that is well rounded and nutritious?

Diet can make the difference between feeling great and
feeling just o.k. But how do you know which foods will
propel you to health and well being?

Proper nutrition is easy. In fact, all you need to do to
ensure your health and well being is follow five simple
steps, outlined below.

Top Five Tips for Maintaining Optimal Nutrition

• Eat a well balanced diet. This means you have to
incorporate foods from each of the four food groups.

• Adopt the phrase moderation. At no time should you
consider some foods ‘bad’ and other foods ‘good’. Rather,
all foods can be nourishing if they are eaten in moderation.
Chocolate cake will not make you fat if you don’t eat it
every day for dinner!

• Take a multi-vitamin. Even the healthiest dieter may not
get all of the vitamins and nutrients they need from diet
alone. Why? Our bodies aren’t always able to absorb
nutrients efficiently from the foods we eat. Thus it is
important to take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement
daily.

• Get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on
your diet, and even contribute to weight gain.

• Exercise daily. Even 10 minutes of routine exercise can
help your body maintain its peak fitness level.

Excessive consumption of alcohol can also wreak havoc on
your diet. Alcohol inhibits the body’s ability to absorb
vital nutrients, such as calcium. In addition, alcohol in
the evening can interfere with your sleep cycle.

Other things you can do to improve you nutrition include
incorporating lean proteins and fish into your diet. Fatty
fishes including salmon provide key nutrients called
“ essential fatty acids” which help your brains ability
to function properly.

Nutrition is a choice. For you to be the healthiest
person you can be, it is vital that you make choices that
are good for you and your well being. Adopting just a couple
of the strategies above will help you tremendously on your
journey toward optimal health.
