 Mahani, 32, Designer
My Routine I have a personal trainer gym session for half an hour on a Tuesday morning! Keeps you motivated! I used to do more workouts, but I find I run out of time to fit it all in...
I like my beauty sleep. At the moment I tend to read then sleep at about 10pm, waking up at 7am. I'm a pretty deep sleeper too.
Normally I have a good breakfast of milo and a bowl of muesli or porridge if its colder weather. I do like to add a banana for breakfast. I usually have a multivitamin, and at the moment have an extra B vitamin. During winter, I find having a fish liver oil staves off all colds! I normally eat a rice based meal at least twice a week, and have at least 2 vegetarian based meals a week. I try to eat fish, chicken or red meat for two of my weekly meals. I'm lucky I don't normally have too much of a sweet tooth, and I don't tend to snack between meals.
I go to the doctor when I'm sick, and have womanly check-ups when I'm told to. .jpg)  Nutrition and Supplements
Dr Tony Edwards, Wellness Director at Radius Pharmacy recommends that every girl, no matter what their age, should be eating a variety of healthy foods within a well-balanced diet. You should try and achieve at least 3 servings of vegetables, at least 2 servings of fruit, up to 6 servings of whole-grain foods, no more than 1 serving of lean red meat, no more than 2 servings of fish, poultry or eggs, up to 3 servings of nuts, seeds and legumes.
Dr Edwards also warns against meal-skipping – whether you miss the odd meal here or there or just graze throughout the day. He says these habits can lead to the storage of fat at the next meal, because the body sees a missed meal as a sign of starvation and will store as much fat as possible as a survival mechanism. Also, when you miss a meal, you miss out on the nutrients that help keep you alert and able to concentrate!

We recommend:
Stress: Blackmores Executive B Stress Formula
Sleepless Nights: Clinicians REM Sleep Capsules
Try slow, deep breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques. It is also important to exercise to help relax your mind and to get enough rest so your body can cope. Don’t forget to laugh, as laughter releases endorphins, our feel good hormone.
Sometimes, stress can come from or lead to problems with sleeping. Do you feel as if you’re getting as much sleep as everybody else, but you’re still waking up tired? Do you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep once you do? You’re not alone. We are continually stressed and running short on time. Try to go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each day — even on weekends.
