FITNESS expert DAVID FAIRLAMB provides routines to help you along.

A low-fat, healthy day’s food

Breakfast – two boiled eggs with a slice of wholemeal bread. Snack – one pear. Lunch – two turkey steaks with salad. If you are struggling for time, cook the turkey the night before and eat it cold the next day with a green salad.

Snack – blueberries with a small amount of low-fat natural yoghurt.

Dinner – grilled salmon with new potatoes and broccoli. Also drink two litres of water.

Super Food: Spinach

The A and C vitamins in spinach plus the fibre, folic acid, magnesium and other nutrients help control certain cancers, especially colon, lung and breast cancers. Spinach can also help protect against heart disease.

Lutein within spinach makes it one of the best foods to prevent cataracts and other age-related eye problems.

Why is breakfast so important?

Eating breakfast fires up your metabolism. If you go all night and then all morning without food that could be up to 16 hours. When you do finally eat, your body will store energy rather than burn it.

Motivational Quote

The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline.
