Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel. - Kevin Trudeau

To be honest, I was one of those.

I thought: Screw it, I'm a sporty girl I can eat what I want! Well I needed to learn the hard way that this was not true. Exercise is important but it can't replace a healthy nutrition. We need both!

Since I'm facing some serious health issues, my point of view about food and nutrition has made a three-sixty. I lived quite healthy when I was at the end of my twenties, but during the past years a certain carefreeness has slipped in my nutrition schedule.

That simple-mindedness has come to an end now.

Time to wake up and embrace the great benefits of a healthy lifestyle!

@surfermarly raising a vitamin-loaded toast to the Steem community

Health requires healthy food

It's as simple as that.

First of all a healthy life requires awareness. We need to fully comprehend that the stuff we put into our body is crucial for its functionality.

We may all have our period of time where we unheedingly enjoy eating fast food - just because we can. Still it's important to recognize that this can't be a permanent condition in our lives.

It's not a short term diet, it's a conscious long term lifestyle change.

Dancing olives on my tuna salad - healthy food doesn't need to be uninspiring

A healthy outside starts from the inside

We may be experts in pimping our physical appearance, style and image. But real energy, charisma and vibes are a mirror of how we feel inside ourselves.

The best make-up in the world won't be able to cover a constant lack of sleep, missing exercise, and an unhealthy nutrition schedule as well as the following physical and mental disequilibrium.

Sometimes we need a wake-up call to remember what really matters.

Food is fuel to your well-being and happiness!

I regret eating healthy today.... said no-one ever.

Because it's just the other way around. Everybody who has ever started to focus on a well-balanced nutrition, will agree: it's able to move mountains. Well it's able to LET YOU literally move mountains :-)

Cheers to a conscious lifestyle and a great weekend full of energy, steemians!

Remember: you're body is your vehicle - the only one capable to navigate you through this unique, inimitable and impressive life of yours.

Much love,
Marly -

DANCING OLIVES !! I like them, but hard to catch in this way :-)

Haha, that's true! Lucky me, they stayed at least inside the plate :-D

I guess they are gone now,... up to a new journey :-)

Haha, I'm pretty sure they won't come back from where they're now :-D

Agreed, funny dancing olives hehe.

The raw truth is:

We may be experts in pimping our physical appearance, style and image. But real energy, charisma and vibes are a mirror of how we feel inside ourselves.

I like the fact that you are doing better taking a 360Β° positive turn on your diet.

For someone like me that loves food, I can never say:

I regret eating healthy today.

Please continue getting better.

BTW, how did you make the gif with the dancing Olive ball?

I'm happy we share the same vision about a healthy lifestyle :-)
Of course, I'll do my best to get better soon!

BTW, how did you make the gif with the dancing Olive ball?

Ha, that'll be my well-kept secret. But all I can say is that it's no trick or fake: they move by themselves :-)

Happy (dancing) weekend!

Ha, that'll be my well-kept secret. But all I can say is that it's no trick or fake: they move by themselves.

Gosh. Haha. Have a happy dancing weekend too.

Which song will you like to dance to?

Oh just one song?
Hmmm... then it'd be "Waiting All Night" from Rudimental (feat. Ella Eyre) - but it has to be the live version, including the trompet solo :-)

That's a memory from 2016 when I had the chance to be on stage of an open air concert... It still gives me the creeps when he starts to play the trompet, hehe

Wow. This is best danced shaking the head. Haha.

The concert is really big from the attendance

This is that golden nugget of information: "It's not a short term diet, it's a conscious long term lifestyle change."

This is one of the biggest lessons my clients must learn! There are tons of people out there that think if they just diet for a few weeks they will be forever a healthier person... Unfortunately that isn't true, it takes a lifestyle change to become a healthier happier person!

I hope Steemians all over the world find this post and give it a read. They should all take your lead and change their lifestyle for the better!

Keep motivating! :)

Love this!! Can't believe I am only finding your account now! Upvote and a follow from me... and of course a resteem :)

Thanks for your lovely comment and great support, @annemariemay! Your energy can be spotted between the lines. Very cool!

I'm following you back! Love your sessions at the beach, that's very inspiring. I hope I'll be back on my original fitness level soon. Can't wait to feel the sand unter my feet again.

Have a great and healthy weekend!

Your salad looks delicious!!


The males in my family have a history of heart disease, so I've been recommended to watch my salt intake (among other things). I never used to take any notice of sodium content. But ... try, for 1 day, to keep your sodium below 1000mg. (You can not go to a restaurant).

One of the reasons why I BBQ so much is that the smoke is a good substitute for salt ... but I'm essentially swapping heart disease for cancer.


As with everything else ... moderation is the key

And fasting helps a lot too.

Β  Β· Β 6 years agoΒ (edited)

Oh, having such a history in one's family is definitely a solid reason to be careful. Fortunately in the families of my parents there haven't been such diseases. Still, I was smoking for 15 years, so I'm pretty aware of the fact that my body has kind of a precursory damage, and that some of my organs might pay it back to me one day... Luckily I found a way to quit 1.5 years ago, so maybe it's not been too late :-)

If I hadn't already 100 projects running at the same time I'd found an initiative in order to promote smoke prevention and educate kids and adolescents about the dramatic consequences of smoking.

But back to the post: the salad was amazingly good! :-)

Enjoy your weekend

Good work with hopping off the smoking wagon, and you are lovely, and it is not too late to recover as all of our cells are replaced every 3 to 7 years as some say, and a lot of health depends on the center of your body, the gut, the liver, and fasting can help. My dad drinks a lot and I run from that. I have gardens and eat raw garlic.

Great message (as usual). We must love and care for our body, it's the only we have (now I should repeat this 1.000.0000 times to start treating mine carefully).

Thank you!!
Yeah in the beginning it requires some efforts, but once you've changed your schedule accordingly, it becomes a benefitial habit :-)
Enjoy your weekend

Thanks for the reminder @surfermarly! Love going through my feed and seeing your positive vibes and life reassurance. It's always important to treat or bodies right, it will lead to a healthy mind!
