Ho ho ho, Upbeat knows how good you all have been this year, so we are treating you to a very special advent calendar.

A win a day, cause, after all… Santa is on his way (cringe – we know. But it is silly season so we can get away with it this time 😉).

You might not know it, but there are new heroes in town.

They don't wear capes.

In fact, they wear gym kit and their super power is to challenge themselves to their physical and mental limits to raise money for mental health charities.

Whey protein isolate is a by-product of milk when cheese is made. It is the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese.

Firstly, you are not the only one. Everyone experiences a bit of “gym anxiety” when they first start out or are trying out a new program.

The main reasons we feel nervous in the gym is because we think that everyone is watching us… when in reality – they are so focused on themselves and their workout that they may not even notice you.

Setting goals helps you to achieve a certain task within a given time. It helps put you on the path to success and motivates you to reach your highest potential.  

It is hard to stay motivated when there is no goal in mind. Having a goal will help you to set mini tasks (or deadlines) over a period of time to ensure you are able to achieve your main goal.  

Why is stretching important? 

Stretching is that one thing that a lot of us know is important but still don’t bother to do it anyway. It is also one ofthethings thathas so many benefits andneeds to start being added to your daily routine.

With the number of various vitamins on the market and all of them playing a part in improving our health… it can be hard to decide which ones to focus on without breaking the bank. Upbeat Drinks has included energising B vitamins in their products because they know that with a busy and active lifestyle – we need all the extra energy we can get. It is such a convenient way to get in your vitamins and protein whilst increasing your water intake. 

If you are trying to live a healthier lifestyle and change up your diet... you most definitely have heard of protein.

Protein is one of the 3 macronutrients that is essential to include in your diet. Every cell in the body contains protein. Including protein in your diet will help your body to repair cells and make new ones.
