Bear Grylls health and fitness

Bear believes that good health and fitness is about eating right and training smart.

Nutrition:
His diet is based mainly on wholefoods. He tries to eat five times a day, with a wide selection of good fruit and veg, wholegrains (pasta, rice), potatoes, soya, nuts, avocados, honey, lentils, beans, quinoa, and masses of oats! He tries to avoid, as much as he can, too much animal produce, ie: dairy, eggs, meat, and white sugar, white flour, processed or junk food. (Although he also believes it is important not to be too tough on yourself all the time, and that a 'cheat' day once a week is a good thing for your mind and to help keep you focussed the rest of the time. Bear says he has many weaknesses including cheesecake, crumbles and croissants!

The main thing is trying to eat 'clean and wholefoods', the majority of the time. Good nutrition he says is 75% of the battle to be fit, trim and healthy.

Fitness:
Bear trains 5 or 6 days a week with a mix of different disciplines. This includes alternating cross country runs, circuit training and yoga. He also does Ninjutsu, gymnastics and acrobatics, and of course his climbing, skydiving and paragliding.
