Staying Healthy,Resilient & Relentless

During these unpredictable times, Weigh yourself! Your house is stocked with groceries, your gym is closed, you have a lot more time on the couch and near the fridge. Your activity level is probably down. Your snack/consumption is probably up. While everyone worries about the virus, many are also letting other parts of their health deteriorate and setting themselves up for other health issues. High levels of stress and anxiety can cause changes in your weight, and weaken your immune system. . Grow your resiliency during this time, not your waistline, not your blood pressure, and not your cholesterol. Watch what you eat and drink, and that doesn't mean watch food and drink go into your mouth. Some of you will gain weight. Some will lose.

Stay resilient. And stay relentless!

Chilling it on the way over lessens its taste; the artificial ripening in hothouses changes the texture and the taste. So the fruit that has travelled the Indian railway for you may not transport you to any delight. It will however lighten your wallet considerably. While retailers work to reduce the transit times and find better ways to ripen produce, we should also remember that the heating and cooling that the produce goes through alters its nutrition...
