Happy Monday Wahandarers! It's a brand new week and we can't quite believe it's nearing the end of May - which means those days of bikinis and sun, sea and sand are on their way. Since we’re still wearing our coats every day (seriously, where is the sunshine hiding?) it’s a bit of a struggle to feel motivated when it comes to burning off those pounds. Never fear, our beach body area is in full swing to get us all looking and feeling ready for the summer, and if you fancy a treat this week, we’ve got some super deals and great advice to keep you motivated all the way through to Friday....
Good news
Drink your milk up. Scientists from the University of Edinburgh have found that us Brits are pouring 360,000 tonnes of leftover or out-of-date milk down our kitchen sinks, creating the equivalent of 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. If you can’t picture what that huge number really means- imagine the waste emitted by 20,000 cars on a yearly basis. Yikes.
The delicious drink we get from our lovely cows is a perfect drink for stocking up on calcium and vitamins. Packed with proteins essential for growth, B12 to keep blood cells in order, calcium to aid strong and healthy bones, and vitamin C to keep our bodies in tiptop condition - one glass a day could help keep us healthy. Whether you like it in your coffee, over your cereal or as a refreshing drink after exercising, make sure to drink up every last lovely drop in a bid to save the world and keep you feeling super-charged and ready to go.
