HOTTEST HEALTH AND FITNESS TRENDS OF 2016

So it is officially AUGUST!  Which means we are well and truly over half way through 2016 (whaaaaaa?) I know how did this happen? And the health and fitness industry has seen some huge changes, fads and additions already. Float baths are the newest of the relaxation and recovery methods, fitness trackers and technology are taking over our arms and bodies, carbs are BACK (woop woop) and people are sipping beetroot lattes… yes you read that right, beetroot I know!!

LIVING NUTRITION; All disease begins in the gut

There are so many conflicting ideas and thoughts out there in the world of health and wellbeing that sometimes we just do not know what to do or believe, and fair enough. I never realised why this was the case. Why everyone had different ideas. Why some people swear by one product and others another. And why certain things can impact people in different ways; until I met with Living Nutrition’s founder and nutritional therapist Graham Botfield. Continue reading “LIVING NUTRITION; All disease begins in the gut”

MADE IN AUSTRALIA

When it comes to high quality products you cannot go wrong with the tick of Aussie made approval. Even living in London, I seem to find myself attracted to the Aussie products and they are finding themselves more and more on International shelves. There are so many active wear brands out there today and it is hard to find ones that are of real top quality, that you aren’t just paying for the little logo *cough* LuluLemon *cough*. (Although Lululemon do offer one of the best qualities and guarantees around – I find myself paying for the little silver logo).  Continue reading “MADE IN AUSTRALIA”

TRUST YOUR GUT

Your gut is the most under-rated organ in your body. A lot of people believe that your heart or your brain control your emotions and body but there’s a good reason why people say “trust your gut” or “listen to your gut”. So that’s exactly my new approach to nutrition and diet at the moment. No more fads or detoxes or trying out new diets from the internet – I am listening to my gut!! Continue reading “TRUST YOUR GUT”

ZOATS

Zoats aka Zucchini Oats are the latest craze in the health and fitness industry. Move over smashed avo there’s a new green veggie at breakfast that is better than ever. Especially with Winter hitting harsh in Australia (and let’s be honest the London summer is quite summery) a warm bowl of oats is the perfect way to start your day.  Continue reading “ZOATS”

HOW NEAT IS THIS?

When I first moved to London, I was on a mission for a “clean” protein powder that I could stock up on. I tried and tested a few brands but never found one I was totally happy with….aaaaaand then I started working at Grill Market Lomax in Chelsea and was introduced to Neat Nutrition. It also happens to be their 1st birthday this weekend – so HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!!!! Big Love!  Continue reading “HOW NEAT IS THIS?”

4 INGREDIENTS 4 WAYS

When it comes to breakfast I don’t need to rant on about how it is the most important meal of the day and should be packed with CARBS, PROTEIN and FAT right? A few staple breakfast ingredients include oats, eggs, almond milk and bananas (*cough* peanut butter *cough*). It occurred to me the other day that my porridge was very similar to my Sunday Oat pancake, and my breaky smoothie was looking a bit like my soaked oats just blended.   Continue reading “4 INGREDIENTS 4 WAYS”

CARB IT UP

If there is one word in the health and fitness industry that makes people confused and nervous it would have to be CARBS!! Mention the word carbs to a friend or work colleague and you are better get comfy because chances are you are in for an epic convo/essay. Everyone has read some glossy fitspo mag which seems to claim the secret low down on carbs. Only problem is, next months issue will probably be claiming something different.
