Nutrition Tips From The Experts

Proper health and nutrition can get confusing and hard to follow, especially when life can get so busy balancing other work and family commitments. Good nutrition is a critical part of health and development, improving health at any age and lowering the risk of disease. While there are plenty of different approaches one can take to improve their nutrition, there are some simple steps anyone can take to get the ball rolling.

We ask the experts, if you could give one piece of nutritional advice, what would it be?

Consume a balanced diet of organic wholefoods, fruit and vegetables. Your body will thank you for it.

Upon waking every morning, it’s a great idea to flood our bodies with at least 500mL to 1L of good quality filtered room temp water before having anything else.

We generally wake dehydrated, and this is often mistaken for hunger. The suggested daily intake of water is 1L per every 22kg that you weigh. Colonics offer instant cellular hydration at a therapeutic level which is not always achieved through just drinking water orally. Water is the elixir of life. Have you reached your daily intake of water today?

Healthy eating is the easiest way to give your body the fuel it needs to excel in life and prevent disease.

It's simple - eat things that our ancient ancestors would have recognised: fruit, nuts, seeds, veggies, lean protein rice etc.

Avoid or reduce the intake of foods that contain chemicals, hormones, preservatives or added sugar.

Make water, sleep, and laughter a huge priority, and remember to share your food, enjoy meals together and stay away from diets or fads.

Keep your immune system boosted. There’s so much sickness around – Covid, the flu – so if you do get anything, the duration won’t be so bad if you’re looking after your health. What would you do in a normal flu season, let alone a tough one? Top up your vitamins, make sure you’re eating well, and you’ll feel better for it.
