25.01.2022 Are you fuelling your body adequately? Your body needs adequate food to function just like a car needs petrol !! Both undernutrition and over-nutrition increase the risk of metabolic issues . Adequate and balanced fuelling lends itself to positive mental and physical health outcomes . There has been wide and thorough research on the link between diet and the function of the immune system. All nutrients; macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and protein) and micronu...trients (our important vitamins and minerals) are important for maintaining immunity (Percival, 2011) and avoiding getting sick . YOU have the CHOICE to fuel your body in the best possible way. We have a lot more time at home to cook and consume some brilliant, healthy food. Make that choice this week!! Percival, S (2011) Nutrition and Immunity: Balancing Diet and Immune Function, Nutrition Today, vol. 46, no.1, pp 12-17

19.01.2022 Eating to improve bone health?!? Calcium and Vitamin D are brilliant sources to improve our bone health .

16.01.2022 Warmer weather = hydration station Water is essential every day but even more so as the weather gets warmer. Even more important if you are exercising!! Water consumption is not just important during or after exercise, but throughout the entire day.... There are multiple strategies to increase your water consumption making sure you have a water bottle with you throughout the day Consuming fluids even before you ‘feel thirsty’ Have goals of the amount of water drunk by a certain time throughout the day Find things to add to water to spice it up a bit - e.g lemons

16.01.2022 Finding your balance this Easter. Catching up with family and friends during the Easter period allows for great quality time together, but it also means CHOCOLATE !!!

The long weekend is also a good opportunity for some good quality exercise time, especially with the amazing weather forecast . Keep your healthy food options and fun foods scales balanced this Easter season!!

15.01.2022 Every challenge is an opportunity This week, we challenge you to challenge yourself !! What is something you’ve been striving towards or wanting to achieve in your exercise sessions ?? Maybe it’s one extra set of squats, doing those pushups you haven’t done in a while or one extra km of bike riding !!
