This usually involves setting some pretty substantial New Year\u2019s resolutions. However, as the stress of day-to-day life sets in, these resolutions normally fall by the wayside leaving behind feelings of guilt and failure.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Tetley Green tea is encouraging South Africans who want to improve their health to ditch large, unattainable New Year\u2019s resolutions in favour of small, positive changes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew Year\u2019s resolutions are really just an expression of dissatisfaction with our current state of being,\u201d noted Tetley Marketing Manager, Candice Sessions. \u201cThe first step to creating new, healthier habits is to accept your current position, and accept that big changes start with small steps. Tetley Green tea\u2019s focus is on empowering South African women and men to care for themselves from the inside out, and that starts with small, healthy changes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1. Get walking<br \/>There\u2019s no need to start running marathons, but exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. This can be as simple as opting to take the stairs instead of the lift, or joining a neighbourhood walking group. This is also a great opportunity to socialise with friends, making it good for body and soul!<\/p>\n<p>2. Get some sleep<br \/>Aim to get at least seven hours of sleep a day to improve one\u2019s mood, appearance, and health! There has been lots of research done on sleep, and insufficient sleep has been linked to several health problems, from Type 2 diabetes to cancer.<\/p>\n<p>3. Avoid over-eating<br \/>A simple trick to avoid eating too much in one sitting is to drink a glass of water or Tetley Green Tea before each meal. Other ways to decrease overeating include using a smaller plate to avoid taking too much food, and waiting at least 10 minutes after eating. This gives the stomach time to tell the brain that there is sufficient food \u2013 no seconds needed!<\/p>\n<p>4. Stay hydrated<br \/>It\u2019s important to get into the habit of staying hydrated, rather than just drinking water when it\u2019s hot, as the body requires around 2 litres a day. This means keeping a bottle of water or a homemade Tetley Green iced tea or smoothie close at hand throughout the day. Visit www.joekels.co.za for some great recipes!<\/p>\n<p>5. Include a cup of Tetley Green Tea<br \/>Just a single cup of Tetley Green Tea can make a massive difference to one\u2019s well-being, as it comes with an amazing number of health benefits. In fact, one cup has at least double the number of antioxidants than an apple. These are the damage-fighting elements that clean out the system!<\/p>\n<p>6. Digital detox<br \/>Too much time on devices and catching up on social media can be harmful for mental health. Ditch the phone or tablet and relax in a bubble bath, or read a good book. Let the mind wander and take a break from comparisons with curated and filtered feeds!<\/p>\n<p>Layered Tetley Green Tea Spring Smoothie<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\u2022 2x thinly sliced frozen bananas<br \/>\u2022 1 cup Frozen strawberries<br \/>\u2022 1 cup Frozen pineapple<br \/>\u2022 1\/2 teaspoon of grated ginger<br \/>\u2022 1 teaspoon of beetroot powder<br \/>\u2022 1x Tetley+ Peach &amp; Orange flavoured Green teabag<\/p>\n<p>Method:<br \/>\u2022 Steep the Tetley Green tea in a cup of boiling water and set it aside to cool.<br \/>\u2022 Add 1 frozen banana (sliced), 1 teaspoon of beetroot powder and 1 cup of frozen Strawberries into a high-power blender. Add half a cup of Tetley Boost Green tea into the blender and process until it\u2019s a smooth thick puree.<br \/>\u2022 Pour the smoothie evenly into 2 glasses until it\u2019s half full, then place in the fridge.<br \/>\u2022 Rinse the blender.<br \/>\u2022 Combine the leftover Tetley Boost Green Tea, frozen banana, pineapple and grated ginger in the blender and blend until smooth.<br \/>\u2022 Remove the glasses from the fridge and pour the pineapple layer on top.<br \/>\u2022 Garnish as desired and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>South Africa\u2019s number one Green tea, Tetley, has launched two new Green teas that are fortified with added vitamins. These variants merge popular, fresh flavours and added vitamins to offer even more reasons to drink Green tea. The new Tetley+ Mango flavoured Green tea is fortified with Vitamin B5, while the Tetley+ Peach &amp; Orange flavoured Green tea contains added Vitamin C.<\/p>\n<p>Visit www.joekels.co.za and @TetleyTeaSA for more health tips as well as healthy recipes and ideas for the whole family.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">135<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/ditch-new-years-resolutions-and-try-these-six-small-steps-towards-better-health\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
