🍌 How much fruit do you consume? 🍌

Sometimes fruit has a negative connotation with it. We’ve heard “It has too much sugar!” and “It bloats my stomach!” and “It makes me gain weight!”.

Did you know all fruits contain their unique set of micronutrients and vitamins. Each fruit compliments the other. Orange coloured fruits contain Vitamin A, while purple fruits contain antioxidants that help fight off any unwanted ‘Negative Nancy’s’ in our body.

Fruit is not the product causing weight gain. Fruits are high in fibre (maybe why you get a bloat!), low in fat and contain just the right amount of carbs for a good energy kick.

Don’t pass up on fruit, fruit is your friend!

Balancing your health over this Christmas and New Year break!

We all deserve a break and to let our hair down after a huge year. Here are a few tips to keep your health balanced over the break and stop the fatigue from settling in, without completely restricting yourself.

- Keep a focus on getting protein in each meal
- Get creative with your catch ups. Meet up for a hike, bike ride, take the kids to the park, etc
- Be mindful of alcohol consumption. What are you mixing your spirits with? Are you having a sugary wine? (unfortunately these have calories too!)
- Get 7-8 hours of sleep a night
- Drink 2L of water a day
