As we get older we might start thinking about our long term health. The other day I read a quote from a Chinese doctor saying that your heart has a total amount of beats in its lifespan and so you should conserve them by resting and napping and that exercise would just them up! An interesting philosophy perhaps but the fitness industry seem to prefer the healthy heart from activity version. Whichever your preference here are some tips to helping maintain your health as best you can in the here and now. Preparation is key right?

We know that eating the right foods can help maintain a healthy bodyweight, provide the essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals for a healthy immune and endocrine systems.

Try to focus your diet to include vegetables, fruit plenty of water, whole grains and lean protein sources.
