I have always been interested in nutrition, and love to read up about it. Just to make it clear, I am by no means a nutrition expert, I can just share what I practice in my daily life. I don't believe in counting calories, but I do believe in a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet. We can fight off inflammation in our bodies every day with what we put into our mouths, together with regular exercise and managing stress levels.

Inflammation is not necessarily something we can see or feel, but chronic inflammation in our bodies have been linked to major diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, depression, and Alzheimer's.

We should all aim to include more unprocessed food, fresh fruit and vegetables, leafy greens, and healthy fats, like nuts and seeds, into our diets. And less refined carbohydrates, sugar, red meat, processed meats, and dairy - which all contribute to inflammation.
Make exercise a priority in your daily schedule, whether it's aerobic exercise or weight/resistance training.

PS: Did you know that a plant-based diet is able to significantly reduce inflammation in your body? But that's another very interesting topic for another day! 🤓😅

Women always put themselves last. If something happens in the family or the kids are sick, the first thing that is cut out is going to the gym.

This doesn't just apply to women with families but also women who are busy or have a lot of work. If that's the case then exercise will help you work better, be more efficient and be able to cope better.

It's all about getting started, getting into routine and taking some time for yourself.

Our fitness program works. For ladies specific classes - contact Melanie on 082 340 2474 or info@bmcf.co.za

Have you ever wondered about what the big deal is with using cocoa or cacao? I didn't realise for a long time that there was an issue, I thought cocoa was natural and cacao was for all the full on health fanatics.

Since learning that cocoa isn't natural, or good for you many years ago, we now only have Cacao in the house and have learned to adapt everything! It is real, natural flavour that is actually good for you!

This is a great image that gives you some info on the difference between the 2.

Great tips for office ergonomics! Prevention is always better than cure.

Could your office job be contributing to your risk of heart disease, obesity and early death? Carte Blanche finds out why sitting all day at our computers is seen as the new smoking, and why the trend of standing while working is taking off.
