25.01.2022 Happy Friday! The final in the colour series... is White fruit and veg. The paler hued plant-based foods contain beta-glucans, EGCG, SDG, flavonoids, allicin and lignins which activate natural killer B and T cells, support immunity and balance hormone levels.
23.01.2022 Think positive. This dogmatic and directive statement has surely done disservice on many occasions.

22.01.2022 Today is brought to you by the colour Red! Red vegetables and fruit contain nutrients such as lycopene, ellagic acid, quercetin and hesperidin. These nutrients reduce the risk of prostate cancer, lower blood pressure, reduce tumour growth, lower cholesterol levels, scavenge for harmful free-radicals and support joint tissue.
22.01.2022 If you cant eat it, dont put it on your skin.
22.01.2022 Easiest and seriously delicious Smoothie, with a capital 'S'. 1 chopped banana 2 tbsp of espresso slim and tone protein powder by Amazonia Big tbsp of peanut butter ( I use crunchy) ... Plus coconut water to your desired consistency (I use about 400mL - yep a lot) Whiz it up good and you're done I can say I have also thrown in a shot of freshly brewed coffee and a bit of coconut oil for good measure in the morning and it's the bees knees.
21.01.2022 Yellow fruits and vegetables are teeming with carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin which support intercellular communication and bioflavonoids, which represent a class of water soluble plant pigments that function as antioxidants. Along with antioxidants, sunny-colored foods also have an abundance of vitamin C. Studies suggest that these bountiful nutrients will help your heart, vision, digestion and immune system. Other benefits of naturally yellow foods include maintenance of healthy skin, wound healing, stronger bones and teeth and support eye health.
21.01.2022 Im going to take a quote one step further... If our minds are like gardens and we can choose to grow flowers or weeds, our Gut is the soil that nourishes and fosters those thoughts. How does your garden grow?
21.01.2022 Today is brought to you by Kermits favourite Colour.... GREEN! Green vegetables and fruit pack a whole bunch of goodness: chlorophyll, fiber, lutein, zeaxanthin, magnesium, calcium, folate, vitamin C and K and beta-carotene. Mustard greens and kale lower cholesterol. Lutein and zeaxanthin help filter high-energy light which may cause eye damage. Dark leafy greens are high in Vitamin B5. B Vitamins help convert the carbohydrates in our food into glucose, a fuel source that the body can use to produce energy. B vitamins are water soluble, which means the body doesnt store this resource, so it needs a healthy supply everyday. If youve ever taken Vitamin B supplements this explains the new found energy released as your body successfully utilises carbohydrates from your last meal.

20.01.2022 Day 7 - perfection... helping or hindering?
19.01.2022 In the words of Molly Meldrum.. "do yourself a favour" and get yourself a slow cooker. Slow cookers make eating healthy, delicious and nourishing food so easy. Another tip, to use up curry pastes taking up room in your fridge: read the ingredients and then amplify it. This was the expansion of half a jar of red curry paste... so added freshly grated ginger, garlic, kaffir lime leaves (which can be frozen), tamarind paste and lime juice. I threw in some pumpkin, beef, onion and coconut cream and it was delicious you could do your own variation easily. So what is taking up space in your fridge right now, that could solve the age old question, "whats for dinner?"
16.01.2022 Talk about glute activation...

13.01.2022 A great article on the function of Fascia...
12.01.2022 "95 per cent of the serotonin we produce is manufactured in the cells of our gut, where it has an enormous effect on enabling the nerves to stimulate muscle movement, and acts as an important signalling molecule. If its effects on the gut can be changed, the messages sent from there to the brain would also be changed enormously. This would be particularily useful in treating the sudden onset of severe depression in people whose lives are otherwise fine. Perhaps their gut needs a session on the therapists couch, and their head is not to blame at all." - Giulia Enders
12.01.2022 One of the things I want more of this year - is to spend more time barefoot on dirt, sand, grass and rocks.

11.01.2022 Push ups: this just about sums it up. The article is directed toward coaches and cueing but I can see that this article would be just as great for anyone that enjoys training at the gym.
11.01.2022 "Weve reached a point in our evolution where our health is being outpaced by our lifestyles. Were idle when our bodies want to move. We eat unrecognisable foods. We expose ourselves to environmental factors that assault our cells." Dr Kelly Brogan
10.01.2022 Purple and Blue fruit and veg are packed full of powerful antioxidants (such as anthocyanin and phenolics), which help reduce the risk of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and alzheimers, improve memory and cell communication and slow the process of ageing.
10.01.2022 Create peace points in your day to day life. A bit of peace and quiet isnt just for holidays! Go for a quiet walk in nature. Join a yoga class. Listen to a song or an entire album you havent listened to in ages. Colour in or draw something. Dance in your living room. Meditate. Or take a 20 minute nap.

05.01.2022 For most of us Sundays are the end of a small cycle called a week and on Sunday we have extra time for reflection, rest and recreation. I listened to a podcast a few weeks ago by Tony Robbins and jotted down three powerful questions he asked... I found that piece of paper today and wanted to share it with you as you reflect on the week gone by and approach Monday. 1. What experiences do you want? 2. To experience this, how do you have to grow? 3. To be this person, how will y...ou give back to the world? I chose this image from National Geographic, as it captures a very sensory experience. If your dream was to surf, youd need a keen eye to spot the swell, develop timing to catch the wave, and the strength, balance and proprioception to paddle out, push off from the board into a deep squat and feel with your feet. I come from central Australia, so I dont know that many surfers, but the surfers I do know give back in their own way. Some are surf life-savers, some share their deep connection with the ocean with the people they talk to or paint it, one collects washed up rubbish on the way back to the car. I love how these three questions encapsulates a state of being as the model for change and takes it full circle to show how the decisions we make for ourselves affects those around us. Have a great afternoon everyone! x
02.01.2022 Boom!! Now thats how you turn around a question!!
01.01.2022 One of my intentions when I teach a myofacial stretch class is that you experience the feeling of being strong, supple and energised. If you would like to feel great check out the details below... When & What: Tuesday at 5pm Fusion (Tai Chi & Yoga) and 6:30pm Myofascial Stretch (deep/remedial). Thursday 5pm Myofascial Stretch. Where: Saint Philips college. Enter via the main gates parking in and around the big round-about. How much: Casual pass $15. Discounts offered for flexi passes.
01.01.2022 Ever heard the saying "youve got to be fit to run, not run to get fit?" I have - and I mostly agree with this statement. Lets do some Math, shall we? There are approximately 932 steps per kilometre (1500 steps per mile). The average impact of force with each stride whilst running, is between 2.5-4 times your own bodyweight. So lets imagine I am a 60 kilo female and I want to run 5km...... 5km x 932(steps) x 3.25(averaged impact) x 60kg = 908,700 kilos of force running through my body over a 5km run!! Now I want you to imagine the next few variables, that we could plug in here. What if this a female who has recently had a baby and is still breastfeeding and still has an abundance of the relaxin hormone flowing through their system, generally de-stabilising her joints? What if we consider the biggest loser and the people that are subjected to running... sometimes with tyres over their heads and are not simply overweight, but obese?! Or what if this was someone with an old injury that hadnt been fully rehabilitated and were wanting to finish a half marathon? So my point? Know that the successful professionals (short, middle and long distance runners) dont just run to become great runners, they fuel their bodies with good food, sleep and rest well, stretch, mobilise and do specific (not constantly varied) strength conditioning. As humans, we have a bad habit of looking at what others are doing and comparing ourselves to where they are at, forgetting that we are all at different chapters in our life. You might be starting out at chapter 1 and looking at someone whos at chapter 18 in that particular aspect of their life... should you be doing the same thing? Most likely, no. Also, stretching, avoiding inflammatory foods and going to bed on time, doesnt seem that sexy to most. So what are they going to talk about? They are going to talk about their best time or their average pace... not usually mentioning their perfection of a single leg step up or the new self-massage tool they ordered in the post, besides they are their secret weapon.
01.01.2022 I LOVE TO TRAVEL! and so do most of my friends... so I thought this would be a great read for many of you. Nomadic Matts Philosophy aligns with my sentiments about moving and eating and having fun whist on holidays.
