Health Tips



  • Like to jog in the morning? It is good to have some form of protein beforehand, so you don't waste any muscle you've been trying to build!
  • Did you know that your body needs antioxidants to fight viruses and disease even as we speak? Downing a couple of glasses of water and sipping on green tea through the day helps fight the dangerous, free radicals in your body.
  • Have you been getting enough sleep? Figure out the average number of hours you need to rest over a 3-day period (working and non-working days included) and stick to that. Of course, going to sleep at the same time every night helps too.
  • Feeling hungry in the middle of the day? Instead of gorging on some snacks, plan your meals through the day. Eating every 2 to 2.5 hours helps your metabolism; believe it or not, this is one of the best ways to fight body fat and retain muscle too!
  • Confused about what to choose when planning your meals? Stick to whole, natural foods such as whole-grains, fruits, and vegetables, instead of processed or packaged foods.
