Like everything else in your body, the brain canno

Like everything else in your body, the brain cannot function without energy. The ability to concentrate and focus comes from a sufficient, steady supply of energy in our blood, to the brain. You can help boost this by eating a nutrition dense diet, keeping you mentally alert throughout the day. 3 great foods to include in your nutrition to aid cognitive function are:
Oily Fish 🐠
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) can’t be made by the body which means they must be obtained through food. The most effective omega-3 fats occur naturally in oily fish in the form of EPA and DHA. Good plant sources include flaxseed, soya beans, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and their oils. These fats are important for healthy brain function, the heart, joints and our general well-being.
Broccoli 🥦
Broccoli is great source of vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower. Research has reported that because broccoli is high in compounds called glucosinolates, it can slow the breakdown of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, which we need for the central nervous system to perform properly and keep our brains and memories sharp. Low levels of acetylcholine are associated with Alzheimer’s. Other cruciferous veg rich in glucosinolates include cauliflower, kale, cabbage and Brussels sprouts (although not everyone’s favourite), furthermore you can obtain vitamin K from liver, hard cheeses and prunes.
Eggs 🍳
Certain B vitamins – B6, B12 and folic acid – are known to reduce levels of a compound called homocysteine in the blood. Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with increased risk of stroke, cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. A study of a group of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment found that after two years of intervention with high doses of B6, B12 and folic acid there was significantly less brain shrinkage compared to a subset given placebo treatment.
Other B vitamins including vitamins B1, B3 and choline play an important part in regulating normal brain function. Choline, which is rich in egg yolk, is essential for the memory-boosting brain chemical, acetylcholine.

If you want to lose weight - great If you want t

If you want to lose weight - great If you want to gain weight - great If you just want to maintain your weight - great I’m here for it all, but those wants should come from a place of health and be executed in a such way. External input and comments on weight can be so damaging even if intended in the purest way. Yes your friend might have lost 10lbs, but what’s their mental state around that weight loss? Yes your friend might have gained 10lbs, but are they actually healthier and happier now? Do you know how they got there? And I mean really?
Are your comments on their weight loss or weight gain only going to fuel unhealthy patterns or will it be that needed boost they are looking for? Unless you know your friend very well, and I mean really well I’d avoid commenting on someone’s weight - read my comments in @britishvogue @devinderbains

AD | So guys, for the last 7 days I've swapped my usual Yorkshire tea with this @herbybox that I received. Herbal teas can be a great addition to any healthy diet and can play a role in overall health and well being. I was sent the Hera box by HerbyTea, which is expertly crafted natural ingredients for women to help you feel more energised, powerful and driven each month. These teas support the body in a multitude of ways, but quite simply for me taking the time out to enjoy a cuppa helps reset and calm the mind, even if it’s just for 5 minutes. The 7 bottles contained a blend of: Nettle - is high in plant chemicals called polyphenols. A review of the research on polyphenols suggests that these powerful compounds may play a role in the prevention and management of chronic diseases related to inflammation, such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Lady’s Mantle - is anti-inflammatory and astringent, and has properties that are good for regulating menstruation. It is often used in late pregnancy to help strengthen the uterus. Spearmint - is a high antioxidant and also commonly used to help relieve symptoms of indigestion, nausea, vomiting and gas. Black haw - has been used for many years for treating menstrual cramps and spasms of the uterus after childbirth Cramp Bark - also known as guelder rose, highbush cranberry, and snowball tree — is a tall, flowering shrub with red berries and clusters of white flowers. An herbal supplement made from the shrub’s dried bark has traditionally been used to treat pain from muscle cramps, especially period cramps, although other parts of the plant may also offer benefits. Yarrow - has shown it may aid in the physical flow of the body's most important substance, blood, its use is connected to help aid circulation. And the 8th bottle was Ginger Root Cuts - Ginger is loaded with nutrients and bioactive compounds that have powerful benefits for your body and brain, from immunity help to helping relief cramps.

I did @barrysuk on a Sunday and I’m pretty proud

I did @barrysuk on a Sunday and I’m pretty proud of myself 😝 I’ve had a surge in clients wanting to look after their health and well being more in the past month - which is great and no doubt many of you are looking to get back into fitness after the last 14 months we’ve had. Here are my top 3 mistakes people make when looking to get back on the saddle: Aiming for too big a calorie deficit Now I know I harp on about being in a calorie deficit is the way the lose weight. So you may think to yourself. Okay great I’m going to be in a daily deficit of 750 calories. That way i’m going to lose a tonne of weight. Wrong, now yes it you can maintain a daily calorie deficit of 700 calories for say a month then you’re sure going to lose weight. However I guarantee a high percentage of you wouldn’t be able to maintain that sort of deficit. The likelihood is you are going to be so hungry and craving a number of calorie dense foods that you crack and end up consuming weight too many calories and you’re back to square one. Keep a daily calorie deficit of 250-350 calories for a steady weight loss that’s sustainable and doesn’t turn you in to a ‘Hangry’ human being. Weighing yourself each day I get so many clients messaging me saying ‘It’s not working, I’ve put on weight. I weighed myself yesterday and then today and I’ve put on 0.5 kilos’. Weighing yourself everyday can be detrimental to your motivation and confidence. Your weight could have fluctuated due to a number of reasons. Weighing at different time of day, holding water that day, haven’t been to the toilet or you have had a bad night’s sleep. This is why I say to my clients. Weigh yourself once a week on the exact same day, at the exact same time and wearing no clothes. Patience People quit before they’ve even started when it comes to their weight loss journey. This isn’t an overnight miracle. This will take time and dedication and there will be some tough days but if you stick to the plan and are honest with yourself the results will come. You have to show up each day and be accountable for what exercise you’re doing and what you’re putting in your mouth. Nobody else can control that.

What did you do this morning?! Well, I personally spent a good 20 minutes procrastinating by putting hair bands in gizmo’s hair 😝😂 We can all find ‘something else to do’ rather than train, make excuses we are too busy, too tired, it’s too expensive blah blah blah, but have you actually thought about how good you did feel after you trained?! How much energy you did have and how you can get on with so much more feeling both mentally a physically stronger. Think of the positives of training and get your session done today 😍💪🏽

AD | Life is almost most back to normal, which means making plans are back and I could not be happier! Time has meant nothing sat at home for the last year, but now we have dates, parties and fitness goals to reach. I personally have set myself a few fitness goals, which I wasn’t able to reach during lockdown - I want to feel mentally and physically stronger and fitter. One little gadget that is going to help me do this is my new Garmin Vivoactive 4 watch from @watchshopofficial. One thing that is great about @watchshopofficial is that you can spread the cost of any of their watches over 2-6 months, interest free, with Openpay @openpayuk

FACT - YOU CAN EAT OUT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT! We

FACT - YOU CAN EAT OUT AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT! We all know that losing weight is not easy and that long-term successful weight loss does not happen overnight, you shouldn’t be on a diet, rather a new lifestyle. A healthier way of living, whilst being able to enjoy the things you still like. When trying to lose weight, there are a few common mistakes that hinder our weight loss efforts. Remember, weight loss is not just about the food you eat. There are many other factors that come into play, such as hormones, digestion, metabolism, your genes and family history, etc. Your body is smarter than you think it is, and therefore it has many physiological processes in place that affect weight. Drinking too many calories
Beverages are often times skipped in the equation of calculating total calorie intake. However, soda, juice, dessert coffee drinks, sweet teas and smoothies can add up calories and fat quickly! View the estimated calorie content of the beverages below. Note, most coffee shops have a website with nutrition facts information on their beverages and you can customise your drink to make it healthy and balanced.
* 12 oz. soda= 150-200 calories
* No sugar added juice= 180 calories
* Sweet tea= 150 calories
* Sports drinks=100+ calories
* Alcohol= 7 calories per gram (total calories will depend on what type of beer you’re drinking, or mixed drink, etc.)

Slipping on the weekends
Being too “lax” on the weekends while eating appetisers (usually fried), drinking alcohol, eating out with friends, nibbling on your friends’ chocolate cake can add up calories (some being empty calories with little to no nutritional value) quickly! Eat indulgences within your calorie limit and realise that you need to get back in the gym the next day to burn off the unwanted calories.

Being diet impatient
Remember that 1 pound=3500 calories. To lose 1 pound a week, you have to eat 250 calories less (by making smarter food choices and monitoring your portions) and burn 250 calories via exercise (equivalent to a deficit of 500 calories) a day.

So many of us struggle with sleep- minus @josh.dav

So many of us struggle with sleep- minus @josh.davies.11 and Dodgie. Take a look at our pre bed routine and how it can have a positive impact on your quality of sleep. Below are 4 of my suggested things to try and implement:

1. Reducing screen time an hour before bed How many of you are guilty of numbly scrolling through your Instagram feed whilst lying in bed? Yes me too. Or binging on your favourite Netflix series right up to the point of going to sleep. The blue light emitted by your phone screen or TV restrains the production of melatonin. This is the hormone that controls your sleep-wake cycle (aka circadian rhythm). Aim to not use any screens for 60 minutes before you are due to go to sleep. Try swapping the screen for a book. Not only is this going to benefit your sleep but you are able to challenge the brain and up skill your knowledge through reading. Lastly if your job involved a lot of screen time try using a pair of blue light glasses. I got my pair from @dfranklinofcl

2. Use meditation and breath work Something that some of you may of tried but couldn’t really get to grips with. Like you guys I struggled with this at first. However for the last 3 months I’ve been using the app called @headspace , which is guided me through meditation and breath work and allowing to really get to grips with it. Meditation before bed can help quiet the mind and body while enhancing inner peace. When done before bedtime, meditation may help reduce insomnia and sleep troubles by promoting an overall sense of calmness. 3. Add in CBD @molecule_uk has a great range of products from oils to balms - I am sure you will find something you love! CBD has been proven to help aid sleep, relax the body and work fight against inflammation. Be sure you are choosing quality products and read into the mg levels suitable for you and your body. 4. @getmihigh Sauna Blanket before bed For me my MiHigh Sauna blanket completely chills me out, one hour in this blanket before bed completely chills me out and ensures I wake up feeling rested and restored. Amongst other things, the blanket is meant to help increase circulation and burn extra calories.
