Health

By Isabelle Privé:

We joined the Kilimanjaro adventure to live an extraordinary experience but we also wanted to promote good health.

Being in good health means respecting one's body. Feeding it properly and asking it to improve every day is the bottom line. Illness caused by an unhealthy life-style is the curse of our times. In a world of junk food, sedentary work and the latest technology, physical activity and a healthy diet become essential and are the only way to good health. We realize that it takes an effort each day to make the right decisions about food and to get up and move.

Evidently, it's not always easy to choose "good food" over fast food that's cheap and enticing. It's a challenge to read the labels, get enough protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates in varied meals every single day.

It's not necessarily easy to pick up your bag and go to the gym, go for a run or exercise at home, especially when you work, have children and supper to cook, when you're tired and the TV is near.

Neither is it easy to push yourself always further with the training to ensure good results.
So, why do we bother? Because, at the end of the day, it's worthwhile. Because we feel better for it, because it both calms us down and gives us more energy.  Because we end up feeling proud of ourselves and  having more self-confidence. Because it keeps us healthy.

It's like climbing a mountain. One step at a time, bit by bit. Maybe wondering sometimes why you're doing it but always proud to have done it.

From time to time, we'll be introducing our team members to you. You'll meet people who, at some point in their lives, decided to put their health first. We hope that our story will inspire you to start on the road to health and to persevere in your efforts.
