By staying active and continuing to eat healthily all season long, you’ll boost your chances of entering spring and summer feeling happier and healthier! T To help keep you on track this winter, we’ve provided you with loads of info and recipes, plus we’ve included a great four-week healthy habit challenge, which encourages you to make small changes that can potentially deliver significant results. We’d love you to take on the challenge, and to hear how it all goes, so please do drop us a line and let us know. I look forward to hearing from you, and hope you enjoy our winter edition.
