Wellness Myth #1
“I can out-exercise a poor diet.”

It's easy to assume that being active means you don't have to pay as much attention to your diet. But exercise alone can't fully offset the impact of poor nutrition. In fact, fueling your body properly becomes even more important when you're active—helping you recover faster, build strength, and sustain your energy levels.


Quick TipMeal prep two or three simple, nutritious lunches at the start of your workweek—like quinoa bowls, salads, or wraps. This small habit makes nourishing choices easier, even when takeout is tempting.
