Exercise

It is so easy to find an excuse for not exercising regularly! Not enough time, too difficult, etc. But even if the reality of your daily life prevents you from practising a sport on a regular basis, remember that the important thing is to move! The work you do around the home helps you stay active and maintain a healthy weight that is good for your heart. Whenever you go upstairs and forget to take the basket of laundry, consider the benefits to the muscles of your quadriceps. Even doing the dishes has its advantages! So, set your New Year’s resolution in motion. Get off the metro one stop earlier. Park your car further away from the office to add a few minutes of activity to your daily routine. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator. By moving twenty minutes here and twenty minutes there, you can burn calories, strengthen your body and improve your cardiovascular fitness.

Diet can give you a helping hand when it comes to exercise. Eating the right foods at the right time can make a huge difference in your performance and your post-workout well-being. When you feel better, you will enjoy life more!

The combination of proper hydration, carbohydrates and protein is a key component in recovering after physical activity. While drinking beverages helps replace the liquid lost through sweat during exercise, consuming foods that provide the body with carbohydrates and protein helps rebuild energy reserves and repair muscle tissue.
