In light of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak on Fitter Food Radio this week we discuss strategies to support yourself in the best way possible in these uncertain times. Including how to create structure and routine and protect your mental health.
As new guidelines are in place in the UK and across the globe encouraging social distancing and self isolation we just wanted to reassure you of our commitment to help in any way we can. We will continue to offer support across our social media channels and via our Fitter Food Radio podcast. We have also made our Fitter 365 Facegroup free and available to join, please jump in and share with anyone that needs daily interaction, motivation and a friendly group to hang out with online.
We've updated this blog following the rapid spread of Corona Virus to help you prioritise nutrients and lifestyle habits that support your body's own natural defence systems.

Yet I feel so ashamed telling you all this.
