I encourage you to make sleep as the most important rejuvenation time every single day; if you choose sleep as a priority your body will reward you with stronger health. Have a happy New Year with lots of sleep. Good night! O Upcoming Your Food Story program Last call! We’re looking for you to join our Your Food Story community that begins on January 21, 2016. This 12 week program is designed for you to understand why you eat what you do.
Knowledge is power and when you understand the elemental qualities of your makeup and how you are affected by the foods you eat as well as your connection to the daily and seasonal cycles of nature you are then empowered to make the right choices to achieve and maintain vibrant health and wellness for you and your family, naturally. There are so many super foods, cleanses and herbal supplements that are truly valuable and effective, but are they in tune with your personal constitution? It is really important that you choose what is correct for you or you may actually cause imbalance. I meet many people who are eating healthy foods which unfortunately are throwing their systems out of balance. O Ian Hayward is an author, educator and Ayurvedic pulse reading specialist with over 30 years experience. Ian advises people on how to support their true constitution and how to correct their imbalances. He is offering a 10% discount to Be Fabulous readers on consultations booked before the end of March.
