Potassium is key for cardiovascular health, especially for clients with heart conditions. Here’s why it’s a superstar nutrient:

❤️ Potassium helps balance sodium levels, reducing blood pressure and easing strain on the heart. This is crucial since high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease.

❤️ Potassium is essential for proper muscle contractions, including the heart. It helps maintain a regular heartbeat, reducing the risk of irregular heart rhythms.

❤️ Studies show that people with higher potassium intake have a lower risk of strokes. Potassium’s role in relaxing blood vessel walls and reducing pressure on arteries makes a big difference here.

Foods like bananas, oranges, spinach, potatoes, and tomatoes are great natural sources of potassium. Including them regularly is an easy way to boost heart health naturally! 🥬🍅🍌

Struggling with PCOS? Nutrition can play a powerful role in managing symptoms and supporting overall health.

Here are some key tips to help you navigate PCOS through your diet:

👉 Prioritise whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. These nutrient-dense choices can help stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce inflammation.

👉 Aim for balanced meals that include protein, healthy fats, and fibre-rich carbs. This combination helps keep you full longer and can support hormonal balance.

👉 Incorporate Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Foods like berries, fatty fish, nuts, and olive oil can help reduce inflammation and support hormonal health.

👉 Foods with a low GI can help manage insulin levels. Opt for whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables to keep your blood sugar steady.

✨ Consult with a dietitian to create a personalised plan that works for you!

Struggling with hunger while in a fat-loss phase? Here are my top strategies to help you feel fuller for longer while staying on track.

🍗 Protein is your best friend for staying satiated. Aim to include lean protein like chicken, fish, meat, tofu, or Greek yoghurt with each meal to curb hunger and maintain muscle.

🥦 Load up on veggies! Fibre-rich foods like leafy greens, broccoli, and carrots not only add volume to meals but help control hunger by keeping you feeling full and satisfied.

🍔 Some level of hunger is natural and expected in a calorie deficit. Rather than seeing it as a bad thing, try reframing it as a sign your body is tapping into stored energy.

🌱 Stress can often lead to emotional eating. Try incorporating daily stress-relief practices, whether it’s a short walk, deep breathing, or a mindfulness break.

🍌 Include healthy snacks between meals, such as a high-protein yoghurt or some low fat cheese and a piece of fruit. Smart snacking keeps energy steady and helps prevent overeating later.

💪 Remember, fat loss doesn’t mean starving yourself. It’s all about smart choices and supporting your body along the journey.

Do you get confused when you see veggie chips and are unsure whether they are the healthier option?

Let's compare these veggies chips with the good ol' Smiths crinkle cut original flavour.

When comparing products, use the per 100g column to ensure you're comparing like-for-like.

👉 Energy-wise, these products are very similar. Just 130kJs (or 30kcal) difference
👉 The veggie chips are lower in protein but I would hope you're not relying on chips to get your protein
👉 The Smiths is higher in total fat however the veggie chips have much higher saturated fat
👉 The Smiths are high in sodium (salt) but not by much

The 🔑 key takeaway here is that both are chips and neither are healthier than the other. If you enjoy your regular potato chips, enjoy in moderation and mindfully.

How to Pick the Best Protein Bar at the Supermarket! 🛒

Not all protein bars are created equal! When choosing one, look beyond the flashy packaging and keep these tips in mind:

1️⃣ Protein Content: Aim for at least 10-20g of protein to help keep you full and support muscle recovery.
2️⃣ Ingredients: Look for a short, simple ingredients list with whole foods like nuts, seeds, and oats.
3️⃣ Sugar Levels: Watch out for hidden sugars! Try to pick bars with less than 10g of sugar
4️⃣ Fibre: A good protein bar will have at least 3-5g of fibre to support digestion and keep you feeling full.
