25.01.2022 Ladies and gents, please take note. It's important for both men and women to understand that we are not made equally, we both have different roles and our bodies work uniquely. One size does not fit all. No ones health journey will be the same. If you train watch this:

23.01.2022 Found this amusing. Please read your food labels. Better yet, just don't buy sh**ty packaged foods.

21.01.2022 Know what you're eating... deli meats are still classified as processed foods and should only be consumed in moderation. Opt for fresh meats for protein. #knowledgeispower Follow me on instagram @RenewNutrition

17.01.2022 Just a litte #mondaymotivation Too. Cute.

17.01.2022 YESSS, thank you Mikki Williden Nutritionist When our dietary guidelines have missed the mark again... High carb breakfasts such as toast and cereals, and yes, the popular and often thought 'healthy' weet-bix, often leaves us feeling hungry within an hour or so due to the rise in sugars in our bloods causing a rise in our insulin... leading to a crash. Opt for healthy fats and proteins to keep us full for the day and lets aim to get our vitamins and minerals from actual food sources, not fortified processed products.

13.01.2022 Makes me wonder what other research has been suppressed from public knowledge?

12.01.2022 This week is Love Your Body week (3rd-9th September). The Butterfly Foundation for Eating Disorders and Sportsgirl have teamed up to raise awareness of the ever growing problem of eating disorders and poor body image. This is a subject I am very passionate about as I believe this can affect almost everyone. Who hasn't been guilty of counting their flaws? Jump on the website and take the pledge. Learning to love and appreciate your body has nothing to do with how you look, i...t's about how you see yourself. All shapes and sizes are beautiful, don't give the scales or a dress size power over you. Don't compare your body to others. No one is perfect. But everyone has beauty to embrace.

10.01.2022 Often when people refer to digestion they’re referring to the processes that occur in the gut. However, digestion actually begins in our mouth, though our body; our brain, gut & all the mechanisms involved actually starts prepping for digestion when we just think about food. The first step of digestion actually occurs when we chew our food (mastication), this breaks down food into smaller particles allowing the stomach & intestine to break it down further & extract required ...nutrients. Our saliva plays a role here also, moistening food, lubricating it to allow it to to swallowed easier, but it also contains an enzyme called amylase, which starts breaking down carbohydrates in our food. Once food is swallowed, travels from our oesophagus to our stomachs, it’s mixed with hydrochloric acid & enzymes to break down food further. This is where the enzyme pepsin is released to break down proteins. This pureed food travels into the intestine. The acidity from the stomach contents triggers the intestine to excrete bile from the liver & digestive enzymes from the pancreas. Bile allows water & fats to mix to aid fat digestion. Protease; a group of enzymes (trypsin and chymotrypsin) are released to break down protein into amino acids, amylase; the enzyme to breakdown carbohydrates into simpler sugars, and lipase; the enzyme to break down fat are all released at this stage by the pancreas. In the small intestine nutrients are absorbed from our food and the remnants are passed into our colon (large intestine). Remaining liquid can get reabsorbed here and fibre is fermented by the bacteria that make up our gut flora (why fibre is so important). This process is what makes our stools- this is where ‘gastro’ issues occur, water is either not absorbed and passes through with our stool causing dehydration or not enough fluid is left in our stool and passing becomes difficult. Each macro is crucial in our diets. Our bodies are designed to breakdown each with specific enzymes & processes in which we utilse for bodily functions. Fad diets where you eliminate food groups can cause havoc on our digestive system. Eat a balanced, whole food diet, drink water, move your body & sleeeep!

09.01.2022 Thank you Michelle Bridges for advocating for Dietitian's and understanding that one size does not fit all and that we tailor advice according to the individual and their goals. Like with any health professional or personal trainer, it's important to find a Dietitian that aligns with your needs as we all have areas of expertise. #youcantouttrainabaddiet

07.01.2022 Plastic | Toxins | Hormones For years we have been told to not heat non-microwavable plastics and to opt for BPA-free plastic products. Though, I am seeing a lot of people are not adhering to this advice (I have been guilty of this too) and I want to remind you or educate you on why it's important to look at the plastic products you're purchasing. The softer plastics, such as reusable water bottles contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which has shown to impact the hum...an endocrine system (can cause several cancers). PET is linked with leaching a chemical which has oestrogen-like activity in our bodies, where it binds to the oestrogen receptors causing our hormones to be thrown out of balance. These soft plastics are generally made for one use. So, do not re-use these water bottles or let them sit in the sun where they can leach these chemicals into our water. As BPA is being phased out of many of our plastics, research has come to light that it's replacement may be just as harmful. Fluorene-9-bisphenol or BHPF has shown to also bind to the oestrogen receptors on the bodies of mice, the difference? It does not stimulate but rather blocks their activity which has shown to cause infertility in the mice. Moral of the story; limit use of plastics where possible (opt for glass), if you need to buy bottled water; don’t reuse the bottle, throw it away, microwave your food in ceramic or glass containers and one of the most crucial in my opinion; sippy cups, bottles and plastic containers for babies and toddlers; heat up products in a safe container and then place on their favourite plates etc. Choose their products with even more caution. I understand that a lot of people have the 'it'll be right' attitude when they read these things, but if you know a little about how our hormones work and how vital they are in maintaining equlibrium in our bodies, you'll appreciate that by increasing our oestrogen, you'll throw everything else out of whack. Women; it'll affect your menstrual cycle, cause bloating, headaches, mood swings, weight gain to just name a few. Men; how does 'man boobs' sound? Along with an array of other side effects, it's not worth the risk! @nourishedlife they have a lot of healthy alternatives

05.01.2022 Did you know we should be getting about 25-30g of fibre per day? Fibre is responsible for keeping our gut healthy and has prebiotic benefits- promotes the good bacteria in our gut to maintain healthy digestion. Some of the foods to increase fibre content: skin on fruit and veg, nuts, seeds, legumes and lentils. If you have an queries, head to the link and have a read. Or see an Accredited Practising Dietitian to analysis your diet and see where changes could be made.

04.01.2022 Artificial Sweeteners & Sugar-Alternatives. So, the big question I often get asked by clients: ‘What about sweeteners?’ There is no secret that sugar is the main culprit when it comes to weight gain and many of today’s health problems. So what about other forms of the sweet stuff? Artificial sweeteners with zero or very little calorie content such as aspartame or stevia have increased in popularity, and yes these often have little impact on our daily kilojoules directly, tho...ugh research has shown that if we keep stimulating our obsession for sweetness we will continue to crave sweet foods and beverages. Similar to caffeine or any addictive substance, the more we have, the more we want and the more we require to get our ‘fix’. This can often lead us to making poorer food choices to satisfy this craving, so, whilst directly it isn't adding calories, indirectly we often consume sweeter, calorie-dense foods to satisfy these cravings. My other issue is when we crave more and more sweet foods and drinks, these foods are replacing something else in our diets and potentially missing out on vital nutrients as sugary, processed foods have minimal if any nutritional value. Other research has also shown links between an increase in diet soft drink consumption and type 2 diabetes. There are two hypothesis for this; 1. As mentioned above, with increased stimulation of the sweet-stuff, we crave more, we eat more and the cycle continues. 2. Sweeteners are thought to increase the feeling of hunger, so we overeat. 3. With an overload on sweeteners, we produce less GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) hormone, which is responsible for insulin secretion (fat storing hormone) which affects glucose metabolism. Finally, research from Israel has shown a correlation between the use of sweeteners and changes in the gut microbiota in animals. If our gut microbes are affected, this will impact our digestive, metabolic, immune and neural function and can also cause issues with glucose metabolism and potentially lead to type 2 diabetes. In short, use all the sweet stuff sparingly. More research is required in this field.
