‘I wouldn’t have done it in my 20s’ Pippa’s defo had a change of heart
Between work, college and relationships, women in their 20s are constantly on the go, and our health and wellbeing definitely pay the price for it.
And while some are pros at reading the signs and tending to their body's needs, model and businesswoman, Pippa O'Connor definitely wasn't one of them… until now.
"I wouldn't have in my 20s. Not in my 20s; not on my radar. Never!" Pippa told us while chatting exclusively with SHEmazing! today.
As ambassador for Sona’s Future Proof Your Health campaign, Pippa, who suffers from low iron levels, is keen to remind young women how important it is to take care of their health in their youth instead of dismissing the need to protect their future selves.
"You can’t do everything you do and not feel well. If you’re not feeling well, you’re no good to anyone else,” she said.
"It’s all about how you feel inside. You need to feel good and strong," she insisted. "We all have such busy lives. It is so important to look after yourself."
And while the uber-popular blogger swears by a healthier approach nowadays, she knows she wasn't as mindful during the height of her modelling career – something she is trying to make up for now.
"I have to feel well. I’m on the go, so it’s really important for me to take my multivitamin because life is busy. Take one with your breakfast, and you’re done.”
Pippa, who recently gave birth to her second child, acknowledges that her past mind-set is by no means unique to her, and is eager for young women to take care of their health now as protection against the future.
"Do it, get in the habit and if you forget, start again.”
You heard her, ladies.
