Stay Healthy Lion Hearts! Exercise & Eat Right! 🙂
If there is one thing I love doing, it’s exercising! Usually, I go to the gym to workout everyday. However, on a busy day when I can’t make it to the gym, I still make time to workout at home. I have learned to be creative with exercising and have tried just about everything! Some of which includes: Zumba, Aquatics, etc…I started exercising at a young age and even still love doing it today.
Besides exercising, eating the right foods everyday have always been a priority for me. Growing up, I adapted to certain foods early on that were beneficial for combating anemia. This really helped me to have some consistency with certain foods consumed on a daily basis. Some of which included: dark green leafy vegetables, beets (my favorite!), nuts, fruits, etc…! Sometimes when I did not have much of an appetite growing up, I found it beneficial for me to drink smoothies blended with fruits and veggies. Lean meats, beans, legumes, etc… have all been a part of my diet as well.
What type of exercises do you like the most? What foods have been beneficial for your diet? 🙂 SHARE your thoughts below!
Warmly! 🙂
