Stay fit

A balanced diet should always be combined with adequate physical activity - it helps increase muscle mass, reduces body fat and helps you tone up. Depending on the type of exercise, you need to nourish and hydrate your body before, after and/or throughout the day.

4 Tips to stay fit

1. Join forces - when sharing your healthy lifestyle initiatives with others, you will feel more connected and motivated. Gather a group of friends to go on regular walks or have regular fitness-focussed potluck dinners so you can get inspired by new flavours and healthy recipes.
2. Set achievable goals - there’s no point on setting unachievable goals that will only demotivate you. Start small and adjust your goals over time!
3. Track and acknowledge milestones - a whole week without eating refined sugar? Congrats!
4. Be Flexible - don’t be too hard on yourself…tomorrow is a new day!
