My tip for … a sustainable diet beneficial for me and the planet

“Sustainability is key—that’s doubly true for what we eat! I try to live a considerate life, and I do what I can to be eco-conscious, within reason of course. I am absolutely convinced that every tiny step counts and can lead to great things. For example, I try to eat as little meat as possible. Eating animal products is just something we have gotten used to over time: why not change it up? When shopping, I make sure to buy products with sustainable packaging. There’s hardly any extra cost involved, but it definitely makes a difference.”

What other tips for living a fit and healthy life do you have for us?

I think it’s really important to live an active lifestyle. However, this may not mean the same thing for everyone. Being active can also mean spending a lot of time outdoors and making sure you get enough simple movement in your everyday life. And when you also make sure to eat a healthy diet, you are well prepared to live a long, healthy life.

What will we always find in your fridge?

An apple and plain yogurt.
