CONTENTS
Our nutritious smoothies and yoga workouts are a healthy combination which will set you on the path to enhanced well being.
If you are reading this you will likely already have purchased a NUTRiBULLET or perhaps are considering buying one.
A smart choice! The NUTRiBULLET is unquestionably one of the highest performing smoothie creators on the market. Its clean lines and compact design look great in any kitchen. Its simple to use, easy to clean and the results are amazing. You may have watched or read some of the NUTRiBULLET marketing videos and literature which make claims of using the power of the NUTRiBULLET to help you lose weight, boost your immune system and fight a number of ailments and diseases. Of course the healing power comes from the foods we use to make our smoothies but the real difference with the NUTRiBULLET is that it EXTRACTS all the goodness of the ingredients. Unlike many juicers and blenders, which leave behind valuable fibre, the NUTRiBULLET pulverises the food, breaking down their cell walls and unlocking the valuable nutrients so your body can absorb and use them.
You may have made your own smoothies in the past using a blender youll know even with a powerful device that there are often indigestible pieces of food left in your glass not so with the NUTRiBULLET which uses 600 watts to breakdown every part of the food. The manufacturer calls it cyclonic action running at 10,000 revolutions per minute but whatever the marketing jargon, the results speak for themselves. The NUTRiBULLET is not a blender and not a juicer. It is a nutrient extractor, getting the very best from every ingredient you put in and delivering a nutrient packed smoothie called a 'Nutriblast'. Using the power of the NUTRiBULLET is an incredibly fast and efficient way of giving our bodies the goodness they need. Making the most of anti-oxidants to protect your cells, omega 3 fatty acids to help your joints, fibre to aid digestion and protein to build and repair muscles.
Just one nutrient packed Nutriblast a day can make a difference to the way you feel and it only takes seconds to make! All our recipes make use of the tall cup of the NUTRiBULLET and the extractor blade. Feel free to experiment. Mixing your ingredients is fun and will help your create wonderful new combinations too. As a basic formula, work on 50% leafy greens 50% fruit, cup of seeds/nuts and water. There has never been a better time to introduce health-boosting, weight reducing, well-being smoothies to your life. With a spiralling obesity epidemic in the western world which in turn is linked to a growing list of debilitating diseases and ailments including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, infertility, skin conditions and more, the future for many of us can look bleak.
Combine this with the super-fast pace of modern life and we can be left feeling fatigued and lethargic, worsened by daily consumption of unhealthy foods. The good news is that you have taken a positive step to improve your life. The power of the NUTRiBULLET, our delicious calorie counted smoothies and yoga workouts are a healthy combination which will set you on the path to enhanced well being. You should however not rely solely on our recipes as your daily nutritional intake. Physical and indeed everyday activities require energy to perform so we recommend a balanced diet of carbohydrates, protein and fat. Using a fitness tracker such as MyFitnessPal will help you achieve your daily nutritional needs.
YOGA Yoga is an ancient form of exercise that focuses on strength, flexibility and breathing. Originating in India more than 5,000 years ago, yoga is practiced to boost physical & mental wellbeing and has been adopted by cultures around the world. It is a safe and effective way to increase physical activity, especially strength, flexibility and balance. Yoga is thought to have many healing properties and is beneficial for people with high blood pressure, heart disease, aches and pains, depression and stress. There are a number of different types of yoga which are generally practiced including Hatha, Vinyasa & Iyengar to name just three. The routines which have been developed for this book are not confined to one type of yoga and will give you a basic introduction to this wonderful form of exercise.
You will find three yoga workouts in this book. The first 2 routines will take around 15 minutes to complete. The third is a 30 minute relaxation session. Incorporating a yoga routine into your daily life will benefit you both physically and mentally. All you need to get started is a mat, a block and pillows for support (for the relaxation routine at the end). That said there is no need to run out and buy any equipment at all.
You can do any of these routines comfortably on a rug or carpet and the yoga block can be substituted for a small strong shoe sized box. Yoga will, in time, help you still your mind. When you are doing the routines try to empty your brain of any thoughts. That is not as easy as it sounds, but have patience with yourself. If you try to anchor your thoughts around your breathing you will learn to calm your mind and move towards a stillness which will benefit your well being. Enjoy your yoga journey.
YOGA TIPS A few things to remember: Yoga should never be approached as a competitive sport. It is a personal journey. Always listen to your body and never push yourself too hard. Concentrating on breathing is an extremely important part of yoga practice and you will learnt to use the rhythm of your breathing to help you move through the poses. Always move into poses on a breath exhalation and make sure you move slowly and methodically. NUTRIBULLET TIPS To help make your Nutriblast fuss-free, follow these quick tips.
