How Much Should You Exercise and How Often?

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity (such as brisk walking) at least 5 days a week. If you're just getting started, you can slowly build up to that.

In time, you can make your workouts longer or more challenging. Do that gradually, so your body can adjust.

When you work out, keep your pace low for a few minutes at the start and end of your workout. That way, you warm up and cool down each time.

You don't have to do the same exact thing every time. It's more fun if you change it up.

Eat enough Fibre


Always carry a piece of fruit with you and ensure your lunch choices contain salad or vegetables. Always request wholemeal or grain breads, even if you are dining away from home, and keep carrots and celery sticks within easy reach to snack on. Another factor that may motivate you to eat more fibre is the fact that diets high in fibre are also linked to weight control. You simply need to eat less when you are eating lots of fibre-rich foods.
