Fuel your body naturally with the power of beetroot. ❤️

Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which help increase nitric oxide levels in the blood.

This supports better circulation, improved oxygen delivery to the muscles and enhanced sports performance, while also promoting cardiovascular health.

For the greatest benefit, choose whole beetroot. Eating it this way provides fibre, which supports digestion and helps manage blood sugar levels.

Beetroot juice can also boost nitric oxide levels, but it contains less fibre and more concentrated sugars.

Diluting it with water can help support hydration, which is important for both everyday health and training performance.

It is also worth noting that beetroot can turn urine pink. This is harmless. Excessive intake may cause mild stomach discomfort in some people.

Want to improve your performance and support your heart health? Start by adding beetroot to your weekly shop. Message me at www.amandaheading.com to know more.

Support your body with anti inflammatory foods that benefit both everyday health and sports performance.

🥗 Aromatics such as garlic, onions and leeks.

🥗 Herbs and spices including ginger, turmeric, rosemary and oregano.
Omega 3 rich foods like salmon, mackerel, sardines, trout, flaxseeds, seaweeds, nuts and seeds.

🥗 Berries such as blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Adding a rainbow of colours to your meals throughout the day increases your intake of key micronutrients including vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as zinc, magnesium and selenium.

These nutrients, alongside polyphenols, help manage inflammation, support gut health and strengthen immune function.

Sports training naturally increases inflammation in the short term. Including these foods in your diet can support recovery, reduce injury risk and help maintain overall health.

Start by adding at least three different colours to your next meal. Your body will thank you.

Ready to optimise your nutrition for performance? Start incorporating these foods today and fuel your recovery.

Thank you so much, Theresa, for your kind words and for trusting me with your care. ❤️

Helping each person understand their body and feel real improvement, even after just one session, is always the goal.

Feedback like this means a lot and highlights how important an individualised, whole-person approach to physical therapy and nutrition can be.

Grateful for your recommendation. 💛

Wow, what fantastic feedback following last week’s Sports Nutrition, Not Just the Basics online talk.

It was brilliant to see so many of you keen to fuel not only your performance, but your overall health too.

The right nutrition supports recovery, resilience and long term wellbeing, not just results on the track or in the gym.

Thank you to everyone who joined. There is more coming in March, so keep an eye out for upcoming sessions.

If you would like to join the next talk or work together, send a message to register your interest.

Fancy a high protein, low carb breakfast?
Good quality ham (no sugar, preservatives etc; organic, grass fed) and organic eggs. A bit of seasoning, or some chilli flakes if you really want to go for it. Or you can swap the ham for some smoked salmon.
Grill or roast on moderate heat for approx 20mins depending on how you like your eggs. Steam some asparagus at the same time. Eat immediately or save for lunch later...easily portable too.

Thanks to everyone who attended my free sports nutrition seminar last week. Lots of positive feedback so hopefully, it's helped optimise your training and racing already...

My next seminar - for runners - delves deeper, looking at your 3-day food diary log, specifically meal timing around training sessions and the build-up to your race. Race day nutrition and sports supplements are also considered.

Join me on 11th March for this 2-hour session, and learn how to tailor your nutrition for better performance!
