Keeping Healthy should be fun


We are all different - so we all have individual needs for nutrition and health.

Our basic needs are the same - the nutritional supplements we need everyday. This core nutrition is protein, good carbs, good fats, vitamins, minerals for a healthy body.
But our individual needs are those needed specifically for our health issues or activity - these are targeted nutrition needs. Targeted nutrition supplements may be calcium deficiency supplement, guarana for energy, healthy energy drinks, antioxidants to boost immune health etc..

Achieving a healthy active lifestyle is easy but you need to commit to making a few long term lifestyle changes:
* keep physically active with at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity each day, even a brisk walk or gardening counts.

* stay hydrated with at least 2 litres of water each day.
* aim to provide your body with a range of nutrients by consuming a balanced healthy diet which includes at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Aim to reduce levels of saturated fat and salt in your diet and opt for high fibre foods wherever possible.

* watch your alcohol intake. Alcohol provides empty calories which offer no nutritional benefit to your body and just a few drinks can add alot of calories.

* a healthy active body requires appropriate amounts of rest and relaxation. Stress can cause negative health problems including leaving your body prone to illness.

Nice way of putting it - core nutrition as the essential stuff.
