10,000 steps a day. Fitness fact or fluff?
Here's the truth: walking is brilliant for your heart, mood, and metabolism. But if you're not pairing it with enough protein and fibre, you might be missing the real magic.
Why? Because protein (25-30g per meal) keeps your muscles strong and your energy steady, especially as we age. Fibre keeps you full, supports digestion, and balances blood sugar.
So yes, get those steps in. But also fuel your body properly.
Try this: pair your morning walk with Greek yogurt, berries, and nuts. Or your lunchtime stroll with a chicken salad loaded with leafy greens and olive oil.
Small shifts. Big results. ๐ช
