Eating the right food is not just essential for athletes, it is also important for people who want to lead healthier lives.

Stress is part of daily living, but it can become a major cause for concern when it starts to affect one’s health. There are several ways to manage it, and we can start by being more mindful of the food we eat, and taking better care of our mental health.

Athletes focus on several variables to make sure they perform at their best: maintaining a nutritious, healthy diet, training regularly, taking the right supplements, and getting enough rest. But performance is not just about being in optimal physical shape; psychological factors play an important role, too.

Driven by a global pandemic, many of us experienced more time at home sheltering with family. Baking became a hobby and working out at the gym was limited. Because of this, many of us gained weight and fell off our health goals as we shifted priorities and gave ourselves forgiveness in a challenging year. Good health is a combination of physical and mental health, which is greatly strengthened by nutrition and exercise, sleep, and connections with others. By making a few small adjustments to your life, you can be more vigorous in 2021 and ready for any future challenges.

As we look back on 2020, we will remember how our routines evolved to adapt to our new normal – especially our fitness regimes. With gyms shuttered, we pivoted to online workout classes, embraced outdoor exercise and redefined how we stayed fit. We also welcomed restorative fitness – programs that helped our bodies and minds and provided necessary relaxation from a challenging year. In 2021 we can expect to see many of the 2020 fitness changes become the norm.
