It's common to come up with a myriad of excuses as to why you can't go to the gym a few times a week, why you can't make a balanced meal instead of eating out, the list goes on. 

Quite honestly, almost anyone can spare 15 minutes out of the day to go for a walk or run, but instead we'll spend 30 minutes trying to come up with a good reason not to. 

All too often, we tend to stand in our own way when it comes to improving our health or fitness. But why? And how do we stop it from happening?

David Letele: Why are we always getting in our own way when we're getting healthy?

We've seen the data - the wait to get mental health or addiction support is getting lower and the system seems to be improving. 

But the system is still under immense pressure, and too many people will have a story about being let down by those who were meant to help them or family, but why?

Getting fit and healthy is just about throwing on your running shoes and making a salad. 

The key to sticking with a workout routine, is finding the right sort of exercise for you so that you don't get sick of it. 

We've seen another wave of fitness trends recently, with Hyrox gaining popularity, 75 Hard, and cold plunges among others. 

We'll often overlook these as just being the current thing, maybe even a fad that will boost your dopamine for a week or two before fading into the abyss of the Ab Roller and other 'As Seen On TV' trends.

There's a fairly universal amount of food people should be eating every day. 

It varies based on things like age and height - but for the most part, most adults should be aiming for a certain number of calories and macros. 

But when you start getting a bit more active, working out more regularly or making changes to a sedentary lifestyle, you'll find yourself feeling more hungry, more often.
