Starting to become healthy while you are young is important, it is not about just eating healthy, it’s an overall lifestyle change. You can take up an activity you like which helps you to be fit. It can be yoga, Zumba, dance fitness or even something simple as taking the steps without the lift. The important thing is that your fitness regime doesn’t have to be something boring. It can be what you like and gets your adrenaline thumping. In the same way healthy food doesn’t have to be boring or tasteless.
Most of the health wannabes have gotten so used to making up excuses and postponing their resolutions. Either it’s a “cheat day” for them where eventually everyday turns into a cheat meal/junk good, or maybe you think of taking up jogging, and the weather is too gloomy or too sunny. Excuses, excuses!
But the journey of becoming healthy can start with one small step. It can be just changing your diet a little bit to be more healthy. And Flora is your ideal partner in eating and staying healthy without compromising on the great taste that most of you aren’t ready to give up on.
