Happy FRIDAY!

Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids.

In short, they are nutrient dense, good for your heart, great for vision, contains more potassium than bananas and are loaded with fibre.

BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS

Body composition analysis can provide an accurate reflection of your overall health and wellness. Bodyweight alone does not account for how much fat you are carrying inside. Subcutaneous fat is visible but visceral fat is deeper and surrounds the organs. The visceral fat can significantly impact the body’s functioning.

If you want a comprehensive assessment of your overall health and wellness, body composition analysis is the best option.

Get in touch if you want to look beyond your weight and see what you are made of!

FODMAP is the acronym for a group of short chain carbohydrates found in food that are generally poorly absorbed by our digestive system. It stands for ‘Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols’. These carbohydrates exist in a variety of different foods such as wheat, milk, and some fruits and vegetables.

FODMAPS could aggravate IBS symptoms – like wind, bloating, diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Many studies have shown symptom relief in people with IBS.

The low FODMAP diet is a 3 phased diet, the major goal of which is to find a balance between good symptom control and expansion of the diet.

As it is a complicated diet, it is best to see a dietitian trained in the low FODMAP diet. Charlé recently completed the Monash University (Australia) “Low FODMAP Diet for IBS” online training course for health professionals (https://www.monashfodmap.com/ibs-central/)

There are many health problems associated with being overweight such as high blood pressure and diabetes. If you lose weight you can help protect yourself from these medical problems or even slow down their progression.

Studies have shown that losing as little as 10% of your current body weight can vastly improve your health i.e. decrease in mortality, decrease in blood pressure, reduce risk of diabetes, reduce symptoms of angina and improves your lipid profile.

Make the DECISION today to lose weight!

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring! Add an array of colours to your plate and think of it as eating the rainbow 🌈.
Dark, leafy greens, oranges and tomatoes - even fresh herbs - are loaded with vitamins, fibre and minerals. Adding frozen peppers, broccoli, or onions to stews and omelette gives them a quick and convenient boost of colours and nutrients
