What is the best health advice you’ve ever received?
- Figure out what makes you feel healthy and at your best, and not diets that make others feel healthy. Everyone’s body reacts differently to vegetables, grains, dairy, fruit, fiber, etc.
- It’s important to stay active at least 3-5 days a week or 1-2 depending on your daily routine. And I would advise others to consider trying out different fitness activities other than their normal routine such as cycling, swimming or tennis!
