WHY DO THIS?

My name is Amanda Sarjant, and I am a Registered Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach who loves to help people with their diet and lifestyle to become healthier and happier.

I love to help people feel healthier and happier, I know from my own life how much better you can feel if you introduce changes. I also know and understand how difficult it can be to actually make changes a part of your busy life - I have been a working mum with 4 children, dogs and studying.

This is why I have created my programme ONE STEP A WEEK, and it is free so that anyone can do it.

I would love everyone to make one change each week that will take them on a healthier path. It is not about diets and eating salad all the time, but adding foods and changes to your meals and lifestyle that will give your body what it needs to work at its best.

We have become quite an unhealthy nation, from looking at the Government report – Obesity, Physical Activity & Diet released in May 2020 -

https://digital.nhs.uk/data-and-information/publications/statistical/statistics-on-obesity-physical-activity-and-diet/england-2020

 - 67% of men were overweight or obese

 - 60% of women were overweight or obese

 - 26% of men were considered obese

 - 29% of women were considered obese

Even more worrying is that 9.7% of reception year children are obese, but by year 6 this figure has risen to 20.2%.

Everyone knows that this is not good, and that being overweight or obese puts you at a greater risk of serious illness, and possibly an earlier death. 

All the diseases we have had so far, have been ‘possibly in the future’ diseases and this does not seem to have been enough to make us want to change.

Although the figures above are about being overweight it is important to realise that you can have a low level of nutrients even if you are slimmer. To me, this is not about body size, but the health of your body. We all need to ensure that we feed our bodies all the vitamins, minerals etc that it needs to work at its best.

It is important for us all to become healthier and to be a good example to our children.

We need to start to change now, we all can make changes which will help to teach our children how to live healthier lives. We need to make sure that our bodies have all the nutrients needed to perform at their best and I am hoping that this campaign will help to start you on your way. That it will encourage a change, and show you how it can help your health.

It can be difficult to make changes, how many times have we said we will be different from Monday, only to give up on Wednesday as it is too difficult.

So, I am proposing that you make one small step each week, one change that will be easy to implement.

The weekly step will be announced on the Friday; with some information as to why the change is good for your health; so that you have the weekend to get going.

If we all make 50 steps on our path towards health this year, what a difference it could make.

With all of this in mind ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE ONE STEP A WEEK TOWARDS A HEALTHIER LIFE?
