Top Health tip of the month by Oliver Gray

Nutrition for high energy, your calorie intake should be around: 40% good low GI carbohydrates, 30% good protein, 30% good fat

Top tip – To make this easy, fill just over half your meal with good low GI carbohydrates and just under half with good protein, plus make sure each meal contains some good fats.

An Example Day:
  • Porridge or granola, with seeds & nut mix, blueberries & rice milk
  • Apple & small handful of almonds
  • Chicken & avocado salad
  • Nectarine & Oatcakes with almond butter
  • Salmon & vegetables

The benefits:

  • Good overall health and wellbeing, disease prevention
  • High energy levels and improved performance
  • Weight loss (for most people nutrition makes up 80% of the impact on weight loss)
  • Gives eyes, hair, nails and skin a healthy glow
  • Helps to improve sleep quality
  • Good nutrition can become your new habit
