25.01.2022 I have dropped a size, but the number is still the same on the scale? This is because muscle weighs more than fat! Fat helps insulate the body and traps heat, while muscle boosts your metabolism - this means the more muscle you have the more energy you burn when you are at rest - meaning you can eat more food and not put on weight!! (Just another reason to love weight training).... Research has found that the percentage of body fat increases your risk of overall death regardless of your weight. E.g. the term skinny fat, Meaning even those with a low body weight but poor muscle to fat ratio are at risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. This is why progress photos, skin folds and other methods of measuring progress of muscle tone are just as important as measuring weight when training Book a consult with Alisha our Dietitian to help get your nutrition on track - Contact us for more information.

17.01.2022 FOOD AND SKIN HEALTH Eating a balanced and healthy diet plays a major role in skin health, eating predominantly whole foods is important: FOODS TO AVOID:... Reduce refined sugars including food with a high glycaemic index e.g., refined grains that digest fast resulting in a surge of insulin levels leading to increased inflammation. Also avoid foods containing large amounts of saturated fat (Deep fried cooking, pastries, chocolate, biscuits) which tend to make the skin oily (Katta and Desai, 2014). FOODS TO INCLUDE: ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS: Function: Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties and help to maintain skin moisture balance. They are important for the growth of healthy skin (Escott-Stump, 2015). Food Sources: Extra virgin olive oil, avocado, oily fish 2-3x a week, nuts, and seeds including flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans. VITAMIN A: Function: Is involved in tissue repair and healing and helps interrupt the breakdown of collagen keeping the skin soft. the upper and lower layers of the skin need vitamin A to help prevent sun damage. Food sources: Carrots, sweet potato, red chillies, parsley, spinach, hard cheese, tomato, butternut squash, mango. VITAMIN C: Function: Is required for the formation and repair of connective tissue such as collagen and elastin. It helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the release of histamine (Schagen, Zampeli, Makrantonaki, & Zouboulis, 2012). Food sources: Guava, blackcurrants, capsicum, strawberries, kale, kiwi, oranges, tomatoes. VITAMIN E: Function: Neutralises free radical compounds before cells are damaged from pollution and heavy metals. It is essential for healing and prevention of scars, working with vitamin C to strengthen cell walls Food sources: Wheat germ oil, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, almonds, wheat germ, peanuts, avocado. ZINC: Function: Helps skin cells heal after injury and divide. There is a link between low levels and acne. Food sources: Oysters, wheat germ, wheat bran, dried yeast, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, cashews, beef mince, parmesan cheese, pecan nuts, curry powder, egg yolk. SELENIUM: Function: Works with vitamin E to protect the body against free radical damage.

09.01.2022 Alcohol has some detrimental effects however, effects can be minimised to allow you to include alcohol in your diet without sabotaging your progress. After consuming alcohol, it enters the stomach and small intestine, where its transported to the blood vessels and moves into your bloodstream. In this process, approximately 20% of the alcohol is absorbed through the stomach and the remaining 80% is absorbed by the small intestine. Alcohol is processed by the liver and broken ...down into a substance called acetate. Acetate is a toxin, as a result your body prioritises the metabolism of alcohol above everything else. Therefore the digestion of food is halted until all the alcohol has been cleared. Directly after training your body needs food to refuel and recover, drinking alcohol minimises the bodys ability to do this effectively. Alcohol also leads to further dehydration. Therefore alcohol consumption following training has been shown to increase cortisol and testosterone levels and decrease muscle protein synthesis. As a result long-term muscular adaptations could be impaired if alcohol consumption during recovery is consistent.
