We may buy fresh food in and sadly the sell by date looms and the food is no longer edible. Of course there are many benefits to freezing your food. Fruit and veg can be frozen and used at any time and they make for great snacks. frozen fruit especially can be a sweet treat with a great texture, and can be used in smoothie bowls and healthy sorbets. You could possibly look at frozen mexican food which will last in the freezer and is a tasty alternative to cooking fresh. Look at meal planning in advance to see if there's anything that can be quickly prepared the night before. Some times using slow cookers can be great as they can cook whilst you're out at work and be ready for 6pm.

Exercise Better

Exercising more is going to be a big benefit to your health and mind and will help you easily shed those pounds. A gentle jog can be good but it is also important to warm up and ensure that you’re not overworking yourself. A speedy walk can be just as good, wrap up warm and blow off the cobwebs in the cold winter air. You could look at doing some exercises at home. All you will need is some YouTube videos and an exercise mat and you’re good to go.
