Looks good to me. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteYes being healthy and looking good is as simple as that.. walk or cycle to work, leave the car at home.. eat healthy foods- make a habit of it: low GI, high fiber, low saturated fat, low salt and sugar- a balanced diet of a variety of nutrients and meditate or do yoga.. or do something you enjoy, listen to relaxing music, find a hobby, whatever you fancy.
