ALL bodies are beautiful, and I don’t say this as a cliche! But do you know which body is the most beautiful?
The healthy one. It doesn’t matter if you’re slim, thick, curvy, tall, short… YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Going through different phases in life, we might feel the need for a change.
Living a healthy lifestyle is the ultimate goal of having a healthy mind and body.
