Health and Diet
Are you relying too heavily on that multivitamin supplement? The best way to get vitamins and minerals is through food, not pills. Try swapping your favorite junk food snack for a piece of fresh seasonal fruit, like a Fiji apple or an Anjou pear, or munch a serving of baby carrots and cucumber spears with hummus.

Fitness
A plateau is kind of like running into a wall. Its when you suddenly stop seeing results after a few months on an exercise and weight loss program. Plateaus are not uncommon and the reality is that unless you continually update your program to reflect the changes your body has already experienced, you can almost be guaranteed to plateau.
