Operation Transformation - An Irish Health and Fitness TV Programme

The famous Irish tv programme Operation Transformation is back with a new series to help people with their battle with diet, exercise and motivation. Do you feel your health is holding you back from the life you'd like? Do you wish 2014 could be the year you transform your diet and lifestyle for good? With Operation Transformation back with a bigger and better series you can now not only follow the leaders on RTE radio and on the web but you can also download the new exclusive app so you can follow the leaders on the go to help you with your life changing journey.

Most of Ireland's population will have vowed to diet in January and when we hear the word diet, many think of if as punishment and that you can only eat plain boring food. From watching the programme and trying their mouth watering recipes, you will never go hungry! Although the secret to a balanced diet is to have everything in moderation but if you stick to it and have a little will power you will get the results you want like Ronan Scully, a former Operation Transform leader who lost 3 stone and has now become a runner!

TIP: Keep a food/fitness diary and track what you eat and what exercise you do. Looking back on it will prove to you what you can achieve and how far you have come.

Although your diet is huge 70% of your goals, the other 30% is exercise. Exercising not only controls your weight, combats health conditions and diseases but also boosts your mood and energy. Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that leave you feeling happier, more relaxed and boots your confidence and self-esteem. With all these factors, why would you want to change yourself for the better? We all know it's hard to find the will power to make big changes in our lives but that's where Operation transformation comes in. With the programme lasting 7 weeks that's gives you a great start to transform your lifestyle.

TIP: exercising doesn't have to be a chore, make it fun! Get a friend or relative on board to support you and take Zumba classes or join a local boot camp. Register online with Operation Transformation to track the leaders and help followers with your tips and tricks on your progress! Good luck!

Do not bottle your recycling this Christmas!

Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment. UK households produced 30.5 million tonnes of waste in 2003/04, which means 17% was collected for recycling (source: defra.gov.uk). This figure is still quite low compared to some of our neighbouring EU countries, some recycling over 50% of their waste. There is still a great deal of waste which could be recycled that ends up in landfill sites which is harmful to the environment. DID YOU KNOW up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled and 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours. After Christmas, set recycling as one of your New Year resolutions!

With the growing concern for the environment over recent years and the ever increasing trend of ‘going green’, recycling has been brought to the forefront of our minds with questions of how we, as individuals, can do ‘our bit’ to help the cause and the small amount of help that you can give will go a long way but we need moral support and constant praise for the help that we are providing. It often seems that unless we raise millions of pounds or recycle half of Hackney, nobody bats an eyelid. Well, all this is starting to change as we see the face of small efforts being nationally recognized. Let’s Recycle has introduced a new category in their national ‘Awards for Excellence’ to recognize community achievements such as these across the nation – ‘The Best Community Recycling Initiative’. There are many other ways you can do your bit for the environment. Cycle to work- with the summer coming up and the weather will be getting better, why not cycle to work instead of taking the car? You will save money, reduce air pollution and keep your heart healthy by exercising! Go Solar- solar power (also known as solar energy). This technology will obtain usable energy from the light of the sun. This is a great investment and you will notice the difference in your monthly bills in the long run.

Switch to compatible ink cartridges. Compatible ink cartridges are being used more and more now as they are getting more known. They are nearly half the price of the originals and work just as well, sometimes even better. If you work in a busy office you could save a good amount of money or even if it is just for home use. Help us save the environment and switch to compatible ink cartridges!

Here at PrinterInkCartridges.ie we have a wide range of compatible ink cartridges and toners with brands such as Epson, Lexmark, Canon, Brother, HP and many more. We have great offers on multi-pack deals with an exceptional service with super-fast delivery. Also check out our other blogs which are full of useful tips and information.

It has 4G for ultra-fast internet connection; it is slimmer than the iPhone 5 & 5c and has an impressive feature of touch ID finger print identity sensor.

The Xbox One has a two-tone black ’80s VCR-like box design which looks very smart and the PS4 on the other hand has gone for a striking angular slanted look.
