As an ISSA-certified Specialist in Fitness Nutrition and Certified Fitness Trainer, I have a passion for health and fitness. In an era where our children are the first generation to have an expected life-span *shorter* than their parents, we need to find ways to get them away from the TV, video games, tablets, and other electronic devices, and learn healthy habits from a young age. I believe in s
taying active, both for ourselves and our families. But being active doesn't mean you have to exercise for hours a day at the gym. Studies show that increasing your activity levels by 30-60min each day can help reduce cholesterol levels, risk of Type 2 Diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In other words, taking a little time each day for physical activity can give you many more healthy years with your family. I also believe "diet" is an evil four-letter word. Life shouldn't be about dieting, it should be about LIVING. It's about eating healthy, natural, unprocessed foods. And it's about giving into cravings. But by eating more of the "good" foods, you will eventually stop craving the "bad". You'll look better, feel better, and as an added bonus, lose weight! By maximizing when you eat certain foods, your body will also run more efficiently. So, welcome to Merry Fit! "Merry" as in how being fit and healthy doesn't have to be a chore...
