Stay on track to be fitter, healthier and more resilient. Good food and nutrition do make a big difference to how you feel and function.
Feel like you ate and drank too much yesterday? You are definitely not alone. Been partying a little more of late? Are you a stress or comfort eater? You are not the only one!
Don't dwell on what has been: the excesses of previous meals and drinks, any lack of activity. What you ate and drank in the past has been and you can't change what has happened but you can influence today's decisions. Instead look at today. Each day as it comes. Each day is a fresh day. Right now, today, is the time to shift the pace of eating back to get you on track to be fitter, healthier and more resilient to feel fantastic for the rest of the year and beyond.
Don't wait for tomorrow or the deadline for a special event.

Make your own good health a high priority
More than ever, it is time to look after yourself. Eat to care for your body and brain. Stay active physically and mentally. Sleep soundly. Keep up good lifestyle routines during holidays and weekends.
You have an opportunity to shape your own day to build in eating zones that suit your hunger, to work when your mind is most productive, to sleep and wake up naturally with your body clock, and to break up your day with play and physical activity. Stress eating, comfort eating and drinking to relieve pressures are all real. For some starting tips to break the stress-comfort-food-relief cycles check this out.
And hopefully you have enough time to prepare meals at home from basic essential ingredients, which will leave you feeling healthy. Home cooking from basic ingredients is a win-win situation: you will spend less money on food when you cook at home plus people who prepare and eat home-cooked meals are healthier. To save time and boost nutrition, check out these 8 easy tips.
It feels like a thing of the past, but the covid corona virus delivered additional punishing pressures and stresses. It also helped many people identify factors that trigger their eating - whether to eat specific foods, avoid other foods, over-eat or over-drink. The need for great health never goes away. And unfortunately, corona and flu viruses have not gone away either and you need to stay super aware, maintain social distancing, and be incredibly hygienic with hand washing in line with health authorities guidelines. Although masks are not compulsory, sometimes you may need one. Wear a well fitted mask if you are unwell or do not feel confident about the healthiness of others around you or are with people who are more vulnerable to catching the virus.
Masks are like vitamin supplements in a small way. At some time you may need to take a vitamin-mineral supplement but a supplement does not replace healthy eating and does not make up for poor lifestyle habits. Nor does a mask replace good hygiene, social distancing, isolation, quarantine and other health protecting requirements.
Having good overall health is very very important for all aspects of life. Choose wisely for the best of health.
it is perfectly okay not to eat perfectly
It is perfectly okay to eat more one day and less the next. It is actually very normal.
It is perfectly okay to balance your food choices over a week and not lock into or worry about daily targets.
It is perfectly okay to save up red-extras (you might call them forbidden foods but I don’t) for a feast.
Extreme food restriction and dieting will trip you up, each and every time ...
