So, get those glucose levels up ladies and give your brain the pick me up it needs in the morning.

    1. Don’t forget to eat your greens

Greens are packed with an abundance of minerals and antioxidants to protect and clear out toxins. With an endless supply of essential nutrients; magnesium, potassium, fibre, calcium, vitamins A, B, C, E and K, you really do need your fruits and veggies to live a fruitful life.

Our bodies are made up of 60% water, so we need to make sure we maintain our body’s fluid balance to help transport nutrients, flush out toxins, boost our immune system.
