Nutrition is as individual as your fingerprint! Everybody metabolises food/energy at different rates. For a complete and confidential individual assessment and recommendations contact me.
But for now - to get us started - here are some simple tips which everybody can benefit from...
No supplements will replace real whole seasonal food! Get your protein from Meat, Fish Eggs not bars!
Eat mindfully (NO phones or tablets), slowly and chew all foods to a liquid – your stomach has NO teeth!
Don’t drink a lot with your meals it will dilute stomach acid which affects digestion
Get more sleep-Studies have found lack of sleep decreases recovery time and increases your risk of injury and avoid phones or tablets in the bedroom – these interfere with sleep and other bedroom activities!
Keep yourself hydrated by drinking small amounts of water instead of downing large amounts in one go. Your muscles are 75% water and a 3% loss can reduce strength by 10% and speed by 8%!
