Healthy Eating
I know sometimes it can be hard to be healthy all the time but you can make a start. I'm going to give you some tips and recipes to make you as fit as a fiddle! You need your five fruit and veg a day and I know how to get you there. Some people think that if you do loads of sport you can eat anything and you'll just burn it off but thats not really true. You burn off the fat but unhealthy food leaves toxins in your body. Sugary treats are fine every once in a while but aren't supposed to be eaten on a regular basis. Altough some healthy foods mightn't look nice you'd be surprised by how tasty they are. Try to keep an open mind about food and although everyone has something that they don't like, there's bound to be healthy snacks out there that suit your taste-buds!!

Everyone's human and everyone likes to eat sugary foods every now and again! But too much isn't good for you. Things like eating your five fruit and veg a day is important even if you don't like them. In the supermarkets they can help you too. They have codes to tell you how healthy different types of food are. So, if you're going to the supermarkets, instead of going straight to the biscuits, sweets or sugary foods, go to the fruit and veg section and you'll be surprised by how much selection there is! You don't have to be over the top about it and don't get obsessed with being healthy, just be aware. It really isn't that hard once you get into a routine.
