Nutrition

Now that you have started walking it gives you the ideal opportunity to reconnect with your body. When you start to eat a diet that really supports and nurtures your body, there is a huge satisfaction knowing that the food you are eating is actually the food your body wants and needs to support you in your quest to get fitter and healthier.

Eating has become a confusing issue, not only do we have the environmental concerns of where our food comes from and whether it should be organic, every day we read conflicting reports on what is good for us and what is not. Walk the Walk has an organic policy as we believe that its not what extra benefit organic food may offer, but what is not included - and that is often an unseen and hidden cocktail of chemicals. Whatever your view, evidence is mounting that we are what we eat and the better it can be, the more we can expect from ourselves.

But good nutrition can not work in isolation, if you have the best diet but have a very stressful life, you may be undoing a lot of the good. Similarly, food should always be a pleasure so introduce changes slowly. Aim to discover a way of eating that suits you and is sustainable, rather than an extreme diet that promises quick results but has no lasting power and don’t get angry with yourself if you don’t always get it right. Whether you just want to have more energy or want to lose weight, the combination of good food and Power Walking is a recipe for success
