Recipe:
Make your own Bircher Muesli
One in
17 Australian men is at risk of developing bowel cancer before the
age of 75 - one of the highest rates in the world. 75% of
these cases could be prevented by consuming 30 -35 grams of fibre
per day and regular exercise. Without eating a high fibre
breakfast it is difficult to hit this daily target. Oats are
high in fibre, zinc, vitamin B1 and magnesium.
Ingredients:
1.5
cups oats
.25 cup almond slivers
.25 cup pear juice concentrate
juice of half a lemon
1 cup grated apple or pear
1 cup low-fat natural yoghurt
|
Method:
Mix the oats and almonds in a bowl and stir through the pear
juice concentrate, lemon juice and grated fruit. Gradually
add the yoghurt until the mixture is quite sloppy. Cover and
leave overnight. Add more yoghurt in the morning if the
mixture is too thick. Serves four. |
Spinal
Twist Stretch: at your desk!
Sitting
for long periods can be detrimental to our back health, due to the
lack of movement or small, repetitive movements such as using a
mouse. Getting up out of your chair regularly and taking
stretch breaks will help improve how your back feels by the end of
the day. Try the following stretch in your chair
now
|
Sit up
straight and tall in your chair with feet flat on the floor, knees
together. Take your right hand across to the outside of your
left knee, gently and slowly turning your torso. Use your
left hand on the back of the chair to steady you and your right
hand can place some resistance against your knee. You should
feel a stretch in your back muscles. Hold for 7 breaths.
Always move slowly into and out of a stretch and stop if
there is any pain. Repeat on the other side. |
