In week 11 we are going to focus on Healthy Eating for Workout Wednesday.
So, read on for some useful hints and tips…
First up – a quick table demonstrating portion sizes. Something we all tend to misjudge. Hopefully this will help.
…
Some tasty ways to add more flavour to the water we need to drink every day. And some of these fruits can give additional benefits too – just see below – double whammy!
…
Tasty and good for you – I definitely need to incorporate more fruit into my diet!

Foods that fight Alzheimer’s? Not something I am likely to get in the near future, but it is always worth building defences now. And if we get into the habit of eating good foods like this when we are young, we can reduce the risk of developing diseases like Alzheimer’s later in life.

The consequences of consuming these foods, is having to do that bit more exercise to counteract them.
