WINTER NEWSLETTER 2016
This year seems to be flying by at an extraordinary rate! I guess we say that every year, but I’m really feeling it now as Winter finally hits Sydney. We have reached theWinter Solstice and now the cold winds have arrived, snow has fallen on the alps and the daylight hours begin to get longer.
Winter is a wonderful time to slow down and nourish the body with wholesome, warming foods and gentle exercise. I’m really into bone broth this year and recommend it to my family and many clients. Bone broth is wonderful for boosting the immune system and repairing leaky gut. I’m sure your mother or grandmother made you chicken soup when you were sick. They knew this old remedy had healing qualities.
Each morning I start the day with gentle yoga stretches to get limber up and get my circulation moving, particularly in Winter when it’s too cold to go for a morning walk. I like using a yoga App as I can use it any time of the day – my favourite is Yoga Studio by Gaiam. There are lots of Apps available, so do your own research. Doing yoga each day also sets the tone for the day as I light my incense, turn on the salt lamp and play relaxing music. I started doing yoga over 40 years ago and it has helped me maintain a sense of calm and a healthy body. Going to a regular class is also helpful to further my yoga practice – Yoga with Mary-Anne in Sydney’s north-west is wonderful for all age groups but especially suits my stage of life.
This winter try to keep well with good nutrition and gentle exercise. See some of my Winter Wellness Tips below.

Winter Wellness Tips
These are some of my winter wellness tips.
Eat healthy food – warming soups are a great way to get all the veggies and protein you need in one meal. Don’t forget to eat a fresh salad each day in winter, as well as cooked veggies, lean protein, fruits (fresh and cooked), nuts and healthy fats like avocados, fish and olive oil.
