7 helpful nutrition tips

Food is fuel – without the right foods and drinks, exercise is far less effective. That’s why we’ve put together these 7 easy to follow tips for improved nutritional values in your daily life.

1/ Eating 4-5 ounces of salmon twice per week provides you with enough Omega-3 fatty acids for the entire week. Salmon is also packed with protein, B vitamins and 100% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D.

2/ Coconut oil has a thermic effect similar to protein. Just eating it helps your body burn more calories!

3/ Antioxidant rich Green Tea not only wards off disease, but people who consume three or more cups daily have been shown to have higher metabolic rates over time.

4/ Walnuts are rich in healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, fibre and protein.

5/ Raw vegetables are nutrient-dense but low in total calories.

6/ The scent of peppermint can have appetite-reducing properties, so take a big whiff of a hot cup of peppermint tea when you crave dessert!

7/ Dark chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content has been linked to reduced heart disease risk and even lower body fat numbers in people who nibble on it more often. The polyphenol antioxidants in chocolate may favourably influence metabolism.

Hopefully, these tips will influence your daily diet routines. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for more useful nutritional information, and to contact us if you have any queries. Nigel.
