" On a quest to start a new life, you will face a lot of challenges and uphill battles that will try to bring you down.
Fears will arise that will make you stumble and the only way to stop them is to face them!
As a friend, I would like you to know that life will knock us down but we can choose to get back up.
Remember, always, be strong.
Root that in your heart."
Precautions
Before beginning any exercise program, an evaluation by a physician or trained fitness professional is recommended to rule out potential health risks.

Balanced Diet
Most people have heard of the food pyramid. It's a diagram of the foods you should eat to help maintain your health and weight.
The illustration keeps changing, but the principles remain the same.
A healthy diet should consist of a wide array of fruits, vegetables, beans/ lentils and whole grains.
It also includes moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, poultry, low-fat dairy and healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acid, polyunsaturated fat and monounsaturated fat.
Completely removing or reducing your intake of processed foods is always a good way to start.
