With most of us stuck indoors with very little activity, eating to maintain good metabolic health becomes even more important
This is the third column in the series on fitness in times of lock down. Too many of us have been solely focusing on exercises, workout plans etc. Very few seem to be looking at their nutrition needs. I do get asked about nutrition but it is invariably about how to eat to improve immunity! We have forgotten that fitness consists of three parts – exercise/workout, proper nutrition and recovery. Especially in times like these where most of us are stuck indoors with very little activity, eating to maintain good metabolic health and body composition becomes even more important.
