How do you stay healthy and fit? Interview with Dorota Pawlak

Hello everybody! I am so happy to see you here!
Remember I promised to continue the series about staying healthy and fit? Today I am publishing the story of Dorota Pawlak. Would you like to know more about Dorota's experience? Then read further ;-)

To stay fit and healthy I start every day with a short yoga practice. Twice per week I also do yoga in a class in my local school. Apart from that, I am a big fan of biking, so I ignore all 4-wheel vehicles and move around my town by bike only, which is nothing extraordinary in the Netherlands, where I currently live. To the category of sport I need to add swimming as well: I’ve been training it since my early childhood.

Another aspect of a healthy lifestyle is healthy food. I became vegetarian 10 years ago and I avoid fast food, processed food, harmful E-numbers, microwaves and other magic tricks. This makes cooking more time consuming, but at least I know what’s in every meal and make sure it’s valuable.

For a more healthy and peaceful lifestyle I got rid of a TV about 7 years ago and I see only the
upsides of this decision: more time for valuable activities, such as reading or exercising and limited exposure to mass culture or advertising.

Finally, to stay fit and healthy I make sure my body gets enough rest. That’s why I sleep around 7-8 hours per day and plan enough time for relaxation after a long day of translating and various business related tasks.

Dear Dorota, thank you so much for sharing!
