Nutrition

Fitness, if it came in a bottle everybody would have a great body!   The simple fact is that if we eat healthy and exercise regularly we feel better - but that’s easier said than done.

So why not consider eating healthy 80% of the time and treat ourselves the rest of the time.

A good way to check if you’re a healthy weight is to use the Body Mass Index (BMI). 

Your BMI is a measure of whether you’re a healthy weight for you height. It can indicate whether you’re at raised risk of the serious health problems that are linked to being overweight, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers.

Who can use BMI?

Your BMI is a measure of whether you’re a healthy weight for your height.  It can be used by most people, however, it’s not suitable for children under the age of two. Having lots of muscle may put you in the unhealthy range, even if you have little body fat. For example, professional rugby players can have ‘obese’ BMIs despite having very little body fat. However this will not apply to most people

The BMI ranges for adults:

People come in different shapes and sizes. For adults, a range of BMI scores indicate that you’re a healthy weight

A BMI above the ideal range indicates that you’re heavier than is healthy for your height.  The ranges below only apply to adults, as BMI results are interpreted differently for children.

BMI below 18.5: a score this low means that you may be underweight. 

BMI 18.5 – 24.9: this is a healthy range. It shows that you’re a healthy weight for your height. However, it’s still important to eat a healthy, balanced diet and include physical activity in your daily life if you want to maintain a healthy weight.

BMI 25.0 or more: your BMI is above the ideal range. This means that you’re heavier than is healthy for someone of your height. Excess weight can put an increased risk of heart disease, stroke ad type 2 diabetes. It’s time to take action

How Will It Help?

There is a reason for the saying ‘you are what you eat’. Therefore it is critical that we eat the right types of food. 

One key to understanding nutrition is knowing that the foods in our diet provide the fuel and nutrition for every single function in our bodies.

A poor diet and the wrong foods can result in:

* Lack of nutrition

* General lethargy

* Hormonal imbalances

Many of us have become lazy in the modern day, eating little natural and fresh food such as nuts, seeds and raw fruit; while regularly eating  processed food and fast food.
