16.01.2022 PROBIOTICS, PREBIOTICS & FIBRE Probiotics & Prebiotics have a symbiotic relationship allowing them to interact in a beneficial way when they are consumed together! A healthy gut helps reduce the risk of many chronic diseases and can play a role in boosting our immune system, mood/mental health and aid in fat loss.... PROBIOTICS Probiotics are live micro-organisms that live in our gut helping to maintain a healthy gut & assist overall health. They help: Our body digest food Keep bad bacteria from making you sick The most common types of probiotics are: Lactobacillus. Bifidobacterium. Found in foods such as: Yoghurt Kimchi Kombucha Sauerkraut Kefir If you feel you need supplementation, don’t hesitate to reach out to a qualified health professional as different probiotics may have different effects on each individual. PREBIOTICS Prebiotics are a type of fibre that work as a fuel source to stimulate the selective growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Prebiotics: Are resistant to digestion Are fermented by gut microbes Promote the growth of good bacteria Found in: Many fruits, vegetables & wholegrain foods! More specifically: Garlic Onion Leek Asparagus Banana (Unripe) Oats & Barley Legumes Nuts Both probiotics & prebiotics are needed for a healthy gut balance! For those who consume a high fibre diet, supplementation may not be needed.

08.01.2022 LETS TALK INFLAMMATION Save this post! It is no surprise that most of the foods that inflame us are generally food that we should be trying to minimises for our health anyway! (Highly processed foods, refined sugar/carbs, deep fried foods, processed meat, soft drinks need I go on?) ... But on a serious note, chronic inflammation has been linked to many chronic diseases! Through increasing your intake of anti-inflammatory foods, you may be able to decrease the risk of inflammatory linked chronic diseases. The following list has a high focus on fruits & vegetables for a high dietary antioxidant intake! Top Anti Inflammatory Foods Include: Berries: Have high amounts of antioxidant anthocyanin which are shown to block inflammation in our bodies Green Leafy Vegetables: Have high amounts of antioxidants & polyphenols Oily/Fatty Fish: High in EPA & DHA which help reduce inflammation (can easily be supplemented for benefits if you dislike or do not get a high level of fatty fish in!) Tumeric: High in Curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient. However, if needed (for people with high levels of inflammation, a Curcumin supplement is more effective as it is hard to get enough from turmeric alone. Tomatoes: Contain Lycopene (an antioxidant) which is better absorbed with a fat source such as Olive Oil Olive Oil: Rich in mono unsaturated fats Garlic: Contains allicin & sulfur which help reducing inflammation in our bodies Avocado: Monounsaturated fat full of oleic acid Nuts: High in Omegas which help reduce inflammation Note: Antioxidants prevent damage caused in the body by free radicals by neutralising them. Please reach out if you need any help digesting that info or want to learn more!
