(Charlestown; Nevis); "People spend too much time in trying to look healthy than in really being healthy. They go out and buy a $200 pair of shoes or pants to make themselves feel all dolled-up but they are not spending money to make themselves feel good on the inside and actually be healthy."
These were the sentiments expressed by Timothy Caines, owner of Physique Nutrition Health Shop in an exclusive interview with SKNVibes.com. Caines explained that his belief in good health was his motivating force to develop the shop which is located in Daniels Deck, Charlestown.
"Good health starts from the inside. You do not have to join a gym and work out for two hours a day, it can just be half an hour in the morning as well as a proper nutrition in terms of eating square meals in addition to eating vitamins daily," he said.

Caines said that some people may feel that it is a waste of time but your body cannot digest the food if you do not have the right vitamins.
"Your body needs the proper vitamins and minerals to digest the food, so that would be a great way to start by getting the right vitamins," he said.
According to Caines, experts say that thirty minutes of walking or light jogging can add a decade to an individual's life.
"Thirty minutes of walking or light jogging in the morning can add ten years to your life that is what the experts say. Some people might think that would take time out of their schedule but if you need time you are adding years to your life. When you exercise your brain is more active, your body is more alive and you just do everything faster during the day and so you actually save a lot of time."~~adz:Right~~
The owner of the seven-month-strong business explained that the initiation of Physique Nutrition was in response to a demand for health products on the local market.

"When I came back from the United States I had a few supplies that I came back with but I went around town looking for some protein powders and I couldnt find any and the one that I did find was ridiculously expensive - it cost like over $250 dollars for a five pound jar of protein. So I figured that if I was looking other people might be looking too and I thought that it would be a good idea to open up a store of this nature."
Caines finally urged Nevisians and Kittitians alike to strive for better health in the New Year by focusing more on the internal aspects of the body than the external.
"Improve your health by getting out and doing something. Be active and play a sport such as basketball, football or cricket. Do something in the afternoon, take a jog or walk on the beach and you live a lot longer, feel a lot more energetic and you will look a lot better."
