Electrolytes are essential for your body to function efficiently and we lose these when we

In addition to assisting proper nerve and muscle function, electrolytes are needed to balance the acidity of the blood. They are also a necessary component in repairing damaged tissues. Electrolyte imbalance leads to lack of energy, ill health and may be an indication of an underlying medical condition.

The main types of electrolytes are Sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium and you get them from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink but these can be lost when we sweat excessively.

Make sure you are getting enough. Here are some healthy drinks rich in Electrolytes:

🥥Coconut water
🥛Milk
🍉Watermelon water (and other fruit juices) ...
Smoothies. ...
Electrolyte-infused waters. ...
Electrolyte tablets. ...
Sports drinks.

Stay atrong and fully hydrated 🤗🤸‍♂️☺️

Tracking your blood sugar and lifestyle habits can help you achieve stable blood sugar. 😃😃

Here are some foods to keep these levels stable which can lead to the following positive benefits:

⭐️Increased energy

Studies have shown that a high-glycemic load diet is associated with fatigue and higher depression symptoms—especially in overweight/obese, but otherwise healthy adults.

⭐️Improved focus

Glucose is a type of sugar, which the brain depends on for fuel. Dips in blood stugar can have a negative impact on attention, memory, and learning.

⭐️Glowing skin

A spike in blood glucose causes a rise in insulin levels, which in turn increases the production of androgens. These hormones lead to increased production of sebum and keratinocyte which could cause spots 🤪

⭐️weight management

Studies have shown that individuals with poor blood sugar control can have difficulty managing their weight.

⭐️ It can help prevent prediabetes

Choose your foods wisely for optimum health and regulation of blood sugar

It’s National Fitness Day so let’s celebrate by looking at the advantages of weight training using body weight or equipment such as resistance bands.

1. Increased muscle mass: Muscle mass naturally decreases with age, but strength training can help to reverse this.

2. Creates stronger bones: Strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. It can help joints stay flexible and can reduce the symptoms of arthiritis.

3. The risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia—low bone density that's not yet in the osteoporosis range—is higher in women because female bones typically are smaller and less dense than male bones. Weight training can reduce this risk.

Not only this but weight training can:

⭐️Burns calories effectively
⭐️Reduce waist line
⭐️Can help you appear leaner.
⭐️Can improve your blood sugar
⭐️Aids a healthy heart
⭐️Enhance your mood through the release of endorphins
⭐️Improve overall performance

Happy weight training

Welcome Summer ☀️😎

I’ve been a quite busy recently, hence little social media content but I’m back now and want to focus on having a happy and healthy Summer!

Here are my top tips for staying healthy and surviving the school holidays

☀️🕶🔆🔆first up sun Sunlight is an excellent source of vitamin D, and people need a small amount of sun exposure every day but too much can cause problems and skin damage so best to aim for at least a factor 50!!!

💧Keep hydrated 2 litres or 8 glasses a day and if you are exercising then you need to increase this by approx 1ml for every kcal.

🆒 Try to stay 😎 cool. Anyone experiencing heat exhaustion must stop and rest, shelter out of the sun and in a cool place, and drink plenty of water or sports
Heatstroke occurs when body temperature rises above 104ºF, and the body can no longer cool itself. 🥵

⚖️🙇‍♀️Manage expectations. It’s great seeing lots of snaps of people on instagram enjoying a lovely time with their families but don’t be fooled - there is no such thing as perfect life... 🚸Children and families in general can be hard work especially when we spend a lot of family time together (remember lockdown - how can we forget?) and this can cause strain and arguments. It’s perfectly normal and the chances are most other people are experiencing the same thing - trust me I do😌KEEP CALM and carry on as they say!! That’s what I TRY to do... or take some time out for yourself if you can 🧘‍♀️

🏞 Lastly, where possible, spend as much time outdoors as you know I am a fan! So many benefits...

✅ Vit D

✅ Exercise

✅ Improves mood

✅ Reduces anxiety, improves sleep and immunity.

Enjoy 😊🤩😎☀️🌞🌅🔆
