5-a-Day Is Here To Stay

For those of you who don't know about 5-a-day it is a project that encourages people to eat at least 5 different fruit or vegetables DAILY!!!!! Now I can't go listing all of the fruits and vegetables because there are just too many but there must be at least 5 fruits and vegetables that you like out of the hundreds. 



This is a refrigerator magnet.
 It reminds you to eat your 5-a-day when you go to your fridge

How To Keep Fit

Hey guys I'm back with tips on how to get fit and how to maintain your fitness.

Keeping fit is simple and could be fun. To become fit you have to exercise on a regular basis - I bet your thinking 'excercsie now i have to run :'(' - but  exercise is not just about sprinting or jogging, here is a list of sports you can do to be fit:

• Football
• Rugby
• Boxing
• Swimming

• Ice Hockey
• Wrestling
• Basketball
• play wii or kinect or PS move ( IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THESE ARE ...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEEEEN.)      AND MANY MORE

After you become fit that's not the end -sadly enough- you have to maintain your fitness. To maintain your fitness you could:

• If you are doing a sport continue with that sport i.e. basketball, football, swimming etc
• or if not then you could go for short runs around near where you live (going for runs could really boost your speed as well) - You could very well be the next Usain Bolt ;)

About Being Healthy

Being healthy is all about what you eat, how you eat, the amount of exercise you do and to have a balanced diet. When people say you have to be healthy they automatically think that skinny people are healthy when in reality most most skinny people are not  healthy it could be malnutrition that's the cause of their skinniness.
To adapt a healthy life - style is not a dramatic change in your life but if you eat junk food everyday then its time to cut down!!
