What’s the secret to staying healthy throughout the year? The secret lies in our ability to be flexible and willing to change…just like the seasons.
Different seasons mean different weather, wardrobes, different seasonal fruits available and even different sports to play. It also means that as the days grow shorter or longer, and as the weather gets warmer or colder, we need to stay flexible and adjust our eating habits, exercise routines and lifestyles so we can remain healthy year round.

Without movement, we quickly accumulate things we don’t need – in the form of extra weight, toxins, an increase in the likelihood of inflammation, etc. Over time, this leads to illness, symptoms, conditions, and even disease. With movement however, our bodies have an opportunity to flush out many of these toxins, our bodily systems are running more efficiently, and we’re teaching our bodies to burn instead of store excess energy/calories.
