Mourningperson
I’m a big believer in starting your day the right way because the things you do in the morning will reflect how well your whole day goes. When it comes to eating healthy and increasing the amount of exercise you do, morning is the best time to get started. If you just fix your morning routine, I guarantee you’ll start feeling better and will continue to make better choices during the day as well! Try this morning routine for one week and you’ll never go back to your old habits! Right when you wake up…



Diagnosed w/MS in 2009. Conventional meds failed me. Changed my diet, started exercising & now my MS symptoms are minimal to none!

As soon as you get up from bed, head down to the kitchen and drink a cup of water. Alternatively, you can have a cup of water waiting for you right beside your bed.

Water is such an important part of a healthier lifestyle and it is especially good for you in the morning. When you drink a cup of water to an empty stomach it purifies your stomach much more efficiently than if you eat something first. It also kick starts a process called haematopaises, which refers to the creation of new blood cells. This is very important, especially for people who suffer from various diseases.

On top of this, drinking a cup of water as the first thing in the morning will help you prevent an urge to eat a huge breakfast. Although I’ll give you tips for the healthiest breakfast as well later on, drinking water first will guarantee you won’t end up overeating in the morning.

Move onto exercise…

Once you’ve enjoyed your cup of water, you need to do a bit of exercise. Don’t worry, you won’t need to wake up hours earlier to get enough done! In fact, you can boost your metabolism and give yourself an energy boost with just a ten-minute workout session. Taking ten minutes each morning is not a lot of time and anyone can do it, I guarantee!

I posted these tips on my Facebook earlier and the workout routine is effective and fun. All you need to do is:

50 jumping jacks
10 pushups
20 sit ups
20 bicycles
20 mountain climbers
30 second plank

Do this routine three times (even two is enough at the start!) and you will give your body a much needed morning boost. Alternatively, you can try a short ten-minute yoga routine in the morning. For example, this MindBodyGreen article has an amazingly simple and effective routine to start your morning with.

Finish with the right nutrients…

Finally, you need to end your morning routine with the right nutrients. Breakfast is such an important part of fixing your eating routine and you can boost your weight loss a lot by taking care you eat the right things in the morning.

I absolutely love to drink the Shakeology smoothies in the morning. You get all the essential vitamins and you definitely have plenty of energy for later. You could naturally make your own smoothies as well. Here is a quick, simple super-smoothie to finish your healthy morning routine:

3 tbsp. water
1 green tea bag
2 tsp. honey
1 ½ blueberries
½ banana
¾ cups soy or almond milk

Heat the water and let the tea bag brew in the boiling water for a moment. Remove tea bag and mix in other ingredients!

Try the above routine for one week and you’ll notice the difference during your day! Remember that I’m running a new 3-day cleansing challenge in a few days, so sign up if you want to take part!
