☀️ Why is early morning sunshine the ultimate health reset? ☀️

Stepping outside first thing in the morning unlocks 3 key benefits for your mind and body:

🔋Natural Energy Boost:
Early daylight signals your body to increase cortisol, helping you feel instantly alert and focused.

😴 Better Sleep at Night: Morning sun sets your internal circadian clock, prompting optimal melatonin release when it’s time to rest.

😌 Mood Enhancement: Sunlight exposure stimulates serotonin production, leaving you feeling balanced and grounded for the day ahead.

Pro tip:
Aim for 10–15 minutes of direct morning sunlight—no sunglasses needed—to get the full circadian reset! 🌿✨

What an interesting & insightful week using my CGM!
And my ap.

A real eye opener discovering the effect of food choices, timing of meals and stress levels on your blood sugar.

I woke up today with a low blood sugar of 3.1! In the red 🚨

Upon investigation 🔎 I could see my BS had spiked during the night due to a 'sleep deprived scavenge' at 10.30pm!

Throw in a very late night, vivid dreams, disrupted sleep and night sweats and voila, you have a very low BS score of 3.1!

My weight on the scales has been like a rollercoaster 🎢

I'm doing a daily check in. Not to obsess over the numbers...rather to learn and look at trends week by week.

Most importantly, showing up everyday and being ACCOUNTABLE to myself and my weight 📉 loss goal 💪🏻✨️

What a road trip it's been this week.

Join me next week for more BS and weight loss adventures.

Happy weekend ☺️

My 1st ever Low Blood Sugar alert using my Freestyle Libre CGM!

⚠️ Scoring 4.1

I felt the effects of low blood sugar.
Very sleepy 😴, foggy, sluggish.

All because of what I chose to eat about an hour before the alert and then being stationary whilst i did my studying.

WHAT DID I EAT? 😋

A healthy date, coconut and peanut butter square.

Lovely clean, natural ingredients.
Healthy fats. Protein.
Fibre and nutrition from the date and coconut 🥥

Downside is...
High fruit sugar/carb content.
No movement after eating
No blood sugar buffer to slow down the glucose spike.

Hence the sharp rise in BS and sudden drop off to a low BS.

Lesson learned ✨️

Never eat your carbs naked!
Buffer your carbs with protein, fibre
Movement after eating
Choose BS balancing snacks ⚖️❤️

Joy in the details ✨️

'Gratitude shifts our focus from what's missing to what's already here, grounding us in the small, beautiful, often overlooked moments that make up our days'

'When we choose to notice them it can make everything feel a little lighter, brighter, and more connected' ✨️

Thank you Typo South Africa for my beautiful gratitude journal. You just made my day shine brighter ✨️
