What is Nutrition? 

“Carbs make you fat” 🤡 A recent rice reduction diet experiment turned diet myths all around: participants dropped a jaw-dropping 63.9kg while fueling up on rice, fruits, and juices. 🍚🍉 But wait, aren’t carbs supposed to be the enemy of slim? Not so fast! 🚫 It’s all about the calorie crunch: these carb-heavy munchers thrived on a calorie deficit, proving once and for all that it’s not about the carbs, it’s about the calories. 💪 Still not convinced? Let’s break it down: fruits and veggies, bursting with carbs, are weight-loss warriors thanks to their low-calorie profiles. 🥦🍓 And those so-called ‘carb-loaded’ culprits like pizza and pastries? Turns out, they’re more fatty than carby! 🍕🥐 Science settles it: carbs don’t pack on the pounds. So, next time you hear the carb-counting craze, remember this truth: carbs aren’t the culprit. 🙌 After all 1g of fats is 9 calories whereas 1g of carbs is only 4. Now I’m not saying “consume a diet full or carbs”, rather than carbs are simply not as “harmful” as you’d think. Need advice on how to track and maintain those calories whilst on a deficit, or simply the sources for your own reading? 📖 DM me!

⚠️ Don’t Risk It: The Silent Threat Lurking in Damaged Cans ⚠️ Botulism - a rare yet deadly food poisoning. It starts with tummy troubles but can lead to muscle weakness and even paralysis! 😱 Worst yet, it can be fatal if it hits the breathing muscles. 😷 The culprit? A sneaky bacterium that’s everywhere, just waiting to contaminate your cans if they’re cracked or damaged. 😨 And guess what? It loves low-acid foods like asparagus, green beans, and corn! 🌽 Cooking helps, but those resilient spores can still turn into toxins during storage. 😵 That’s why proper canning is crucial! Sterilization at super-high temps destroys those spores, keeping you safe. ✔️ Stay sharp: check cans for dents before buying, and ditch anything showing signs of spoilage. Your health is worth it!💪 📚 Sources: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/shelf-stable-food https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33966588/ •• #StaySafe #CannedFoodAwareness #nutrition #nutritiontips #tips #food #drink #reels #onlinecoaching #coaching

Which is the best salt for your health ? Iodised salt, rock salt , pink Himalayan salt, low-sodium salt, all of the salts contain 98% of the same chemical, sodium chloride, and the remaining is a combination of moisture and trace elements of other minerals. Now, think about the maximum recommended amount of Salt you should consume per day which is 1 teaspoon. Himalayan salt has about 1 to 2% “extra” minerals, which brings the benefit of this fancy salt to a negligible impact on your overall health; compared to regular boring salt. So if you enjoy the taste of fancy expensive sold by all means, go ahead, but don’t be fooled into thinking it will make any effective improvement to your long-term health. in fact, Himalayan salt and rocksalt are often unprocessed and contain very little - if any - Iodine. Whereas iodised salt is literally enriched with this stuff. Low sodium salt may also be worth it for people with high blood pressure. But, if you do enjoy using trending salt, make sure you get your fix a Iodine from something else like dairy products, beans, whole grains, chicken, fish & beef. •• #salt #saltbae #saltlife #hymalayan #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthcoach #healthtipsoftheday #tips #nutrition #coach

Here’s how ⬇️ If you’re eating two eggs for breakfast & you’re still experiencing cravings for carby, sugary foods by 11am, experiencing midday slumps & struggling with hormonal symptoms, you’re not alone & you’re not broken! For hormone health & blood sugar balance you want at least 25g-35/40g of protein first thing in the morning. There’s only 6g of protein an egg, so that’s no where near enough.

Here’s how add to your eggs to increase your protein: 1. Add a protein smoothie/shake alongside your breakfast (this is a good opportunity to get in more fibre & micronutrients too) 2.

FEELING TIRED AFTER CONSUMING CAFFEINE ? ☕️ If you experience tiredness from caffeine, it could stem from a potential software glitch in your caffeine-related genes. People can generally be categorized as fast or slow caffeine metabolizers, dependent on the liver enzyme CYP1A2. This enzyme significantly influences your body’s sensitivity to caffeine, leading to metabolism rates ranging from two to eight hours for the removal of half the caffeine. The mechanism behind caffeine’s alertness effect involves blocking adenosine receptors due to its similar shape to adenosine, known as the sleep molecule. Fast metabolizers break down caffeine more swiftly, resulting in quicker liberation of adenosine receptors. This rapid release can make you feel more tired than those with slower metabolisms. Moreover, consistent high caffeine consumption prompts a fascinating response in your body. Adenosine channels, continually blocked by caffeine, lead to a system update. In compensation, your brain produces more adenosine receptors to regulate the sleep cycle and prevent potential glitches. This adaptation ensures a balanced sleep circle despite the persistent presence of caffeine. Need help balancing your nutrition ?
