When it comes to improving our health, most of us know what we should be doing - eating better, moving more, sleeping well - but there is a good chance we might fail if we don't understand why we're doing it.  

What does long-lasting motivation look like? And what sort of motivation should we avoid to give us the best chance of staying on track?

David Letele: Finding the right kind of motivation

Health seems to be overcomplicated these days - but does it really need to be? 

Everywhere you look you see another kind of diet, another 'must-have' exercise machine, a drink that can replace a meal, or a new gym programme that promises to finally solve all your problems. 

But truly, could the foundation of good health be as simple as a daily walk and eating whole foods? Why do so many people overlook what seem to be the staples of good health, instead going for expensive trends?

It seems like everyone is protein obsessed at the moment. 

They're buying the special protein yoghurt, making cottage cheese breads and cakes, even protein ice cream. 

It almost feels like just another one of those things that we think are really important for a little while, before we move onto the next thing. 

Of course protein is important, but do we really need more than we'd get in a basic, balanced diet?

Up here in Auckland we've been having some very, very hot and humid nights. 

The kind of nights that make it impossible to get comfortable, where you just keep tossing and turning until you eventually give up and add an extra fan to your direction. 

And it's only going to get worse as we head into summer - so how do we actually get a decent night's sleep when the weather's working against us?
