# Flora pro.activ true-life stories: Wendy Kirton
|
|
|
|
## Wendy Kirton, a 52-year-old receptionist, has a hectic routine that
|
|
doesn't leave much spare time for taking care of her health, relaxing or
|
|
eating leisurely meals. So she decided to make a step change…
|
|
|
|
4:58PM GMT 04 Feb 2011
|
|
|
|
"I'm always on the go. I work part time in a busy agency and spend quite a bit
|
|
of time doing daily household chores such as cooking and washing.

Wendy Kirton has starting running and eating Flora pro.activ to stay fit and
|
|
healthy.
|
|
|
|
"At mealtimes I tend to rustle something up quickly after a long day at the
|
|
office and I don't have much time to go to the gym in the evenings or at the
|
|
weekend.
|
|
|
|
"I never used to really eat that healthily and it was making me feel sluggish
|
|
and just not as good as I know I should - or could - feel. So I have cut out
|
|
biscuits during the week but let myself have a dessert treat after Sunday
|
|
lunch.
|
|
|
|
"I have been using Flora pro.activ spread as part of a healthy lifestyle and
|
|
feel better on a day-to-day basis. This has inspired to me to change my
|
|
lifestyle and recently I set up a running club with a few colleagues. We now
|
|
go running at lunchtime and I feel fitter than I have in years!
|
|
|
|
"Now I have started to walk to bus stops further away from work, and I've
|
|
started running every Tuesday lunchtime with my work colleagues, and then on
|
|
Thursdays alone.

"I use the spread on toast in the morning and find it is versatile and easy to
|
|
use with my meals daily. I now always choose Flora pro.activ over butter as I
|
|
can't taste the difference and know I am making a healthier choice. It's great
|
|
to know I am improving my health without drastically changing my routine.
|
|
|
|
"My goal is to lower my cholesterol and have the energy to face the challenges
|
|
of the day, whatever they may be!"
|
|
|
|
### Eat yourself fitter
|
|
|
|
* Cut down on fatty and sugary foods.
|
|
|
|
* Eat smaller amounts of meat or other protein, choosing low-fat versions
|
|
when possible.
|
|
|
|
* Eat two portions of fish each week, one of which should be oily.
|
|
|
|
* Swap high-fat dairy foods such as full-fat milk and cheese for lower-fat
|
|
versions (such as Flora pro.activ milk).
|
|
|
|
* Try pulses like peas, beans and so on -- they're high in healthy fibre
|
|
which helps to lower cholesterol.
|
|
|
|
* Eat less salt.
|
|
|
|
* Drink alcohol in moderation.
|
|
|
|
* Add some Flora pro.activ foods to your daily diet too; they contain plant
|
|
sterols that will help lower your cholesterol levels.
