24.01.2022 **PROTEIN RICH FOODS** Proteins are often described as the building blocks of the body. They are present in every cell in the body and are involved in building and maintaining muscles, bones, skin, cartilage and blood. I guess you could say they’re pretty important! . Meat, poultry and fish are often the first foods that come to mind when we think of protein, but there are also plenty of other options that are suitable for vegetarians ...and vegans! Try adding some of these protein-rich foods into your diet after a workout! . Adequate protein intake is particularly critical for those who are looking to build muscle. Studies also show that the timing of protein is also critical, whereby optimal muscle growth happens when protein consumption is evenly spread out throughout the day. This is because our muscles can only use a certain amount of protein at any given time! . If you’re wondering whether you’re meeting your protein requirements and/or how to improve your intake talk to an accredited practising dietitian ! See more

21.01.2022 ***STORE-BOUGHT VS HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD*** It’s no secret that store-bought foods typically contain a higher amount of energy, sugar and fats. In this case, the store-bought banana bread contains nearly 2x more energy and 7x more sugar than the homemade option! According to the World Health Organisation, one slice of this particular store-bought bread would exceed the maximum daily recommended added sugar intake for women (6 tsps/day), a...nd nearly reach it for men (9 tsps/day). The store-bought variety also has nearly 1.5x the amount of fat as the homemade one. It’s then clear to see why the energy content of the store-bought bread is nearly double. BUT this is not to say that we should be running for the hills instead of ever touching store-bought banana bread again! It is obviously much more convenient to buy it pre-made, and in some cases might just be damn tastierand that’s fair! However, it is something to be mindful of if, for example, you find yourself grabbing it everyday for an afternoon snack out of habit if weight loss is your goal. Stay tuned for the homemade recipe tomorrow! See more

20.01.2022 **PREBIOTICS VS PROBIOTICS** We often hear these terms being used interchangeably, but did you know they actually mean different things? . Prebiotics are the non-digestible part of foods that pass through the stomach and the small intestine undigested. Once prebiotics reach the large intestine they feed the good gut bacteria, which in turn increases their population. These bacteria are involved in a number of positive health outcomes, such... as immune function, and may decrease the symptoms of some diseases such as IBS and IBD. . Probiotics, on the other hand, are live good bacteria which are either created naturally in fermented foods, or packed into a probiotic supplement. Similarly to prebiotics, the idea behind probiotics is that consuming the bacteria itself can lead to increased populations of good bacteria in the gut. . Both prebiotics and probiotics are effective in increasing the amount of good bacteria in your gut. Which of these foods would you be keen on adding into your diet? See more

17.01.2022 *** ZINC RICH FOODS *** Zinc is an essential mineral found naturally in a variety of foods as well as being fortified in some food products. As there is no storage system zinc needs to be consumed daily to meet requirements.... Zinc plays a very important role in the body specifically with cellular metabolism. What this means is zinc is responsible for enzyme activity, immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis and cell division as well as normal growth and development! The Recommended Dietary Intake for zinc: Adolescent Males 13mg/day Adolescent Females 7mg/day Adult Males 14mg/day Adult Females 7mg/day Taking into account that if you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet your requirements may be up to 50% greater due to low bioavailability of plant based zinc foods as well as natural inhibitors found in commonly consumed foods. Zinc is abundant however in meat, fish and poultry as well as found in cereal and dairy in moderate amounts. Zinc Enhancers: * Eating a meal rich in protein with foods rich in zinc * Reduce phytate through food processing such as soaking, fermenting, heating, sprouting and leavening foods Zinc Inhibitors: * High amounts of calcium * Iron supplementation * Phytates found in grains and legumes If you are vegetarian or vegan make sure you get your blood tests regularly to ensure you are getting enough of this essential and often forgotten mineral.
