The older we get, the more importance we place on understanding and listening to the internal workings of our body.

Long gone are the days when we focus solely on the aesthetic, and nowadays take the time to educate ourselves on the various factors which influence and impact on our general wellbeing.

But that doesn't mean we don't need reminding of certain tips and tricks which will ensure we're fuelling our bodies… properly.

Let's take a look at just some of the ways you can keep on top of things with our simple S-plan.

Snack

It's vital you keep your metabolism ticking over by regularly snacking on energy-producing foods like nuts and seeds.

Ditch energy drinks in favour of slow-releasing snacks which will fuel your body for longer.

Properly fuelling your body means you ensure it never lapses into starvation mode because you've neglected to keep the fire burning.

Sleep

Everyone knows what it feels like to spend the day plodding aimlessly through an insomnia-induced fog.

The toll sleep-deprivation takes on your general wellbeing cannot be overestimated, so if you're serious about fuelling your body properly, it's high-time you prioritise sleep.

Less sleep, less energy; simple as.

Sip

Water isn't just for chugging after a work-out, it's a tool you need on the regular to ensure the proper upkeep of your body.

Water maintains the balance of body fluids, energises muscles, assists organ function and gives you energy.

Fuelling your body properly means opting for water over a frantic caffeine-fix.

Supplement

Sometimes our bodies simply don't produce the necessary amount of minerals and trace elements which we need to function at our best.

When our cells don't operate or communicate with each other efficiently, we begin to feel run-down which is a sure sign we need help on the fuelling front.

Cellnutrition's Quinton contains 78 minerals and trace elements that the body needs, in the correct proportions for them to work together harmoniously. It is a 100% natural and bioavailable supplement which is readily absorbed into your body and, ultimately, works to fuel your body from the inside out.

And… school yourself

When it comes to your wellbeing, it's important to remember to regularly educate yourself on the various ways you can stay feeling in tip-top shape.

Approaches which worked in your early twenties may need a switch-up in your late twenties, so it's all about listening to your body and schooling yourself on the tips and tricks you can use to ensure you stay fit, fulfilled and, most importantly, fuelled.
