We’ve all heard the expression ‘you are what you eat’ but when you stop and think about what that actually means – that every single one of our cells is built from the food we’ve eaten over the years – it’s really pretty mind blowing.
Plus, we now know that it’s not just our own flesh and bones that we need to look after, it’s also those wonderful 50 trillion gut bacteria that make up half of our bodies. There’s now plenty of evidence that our gut health has major implications for our immunity, weight management and even our mood – so we want to nurture those little fellas as best we can! (You can read about how your gut microbiota effects your mood, sleep and stress levels here).
Here at Vive Active, we’re committed to help you create your best you both inside the studio and out. It’s why our Nutrition Director, Louise Keats, is always coming up with incredible new recipes and fascinating nutrition articles to help keep you up-to-date and optimally nourished.
She’s also here to answer any burning nutrition questions you might have – just reach out to her on Vive’s Insta or Facebook page and she’ll get you sorted!
If you haven’t yet tried her latest recipe, an incredible Peanut Butter Coconut Banana Ice Cream (it’s sugar free!), you can find it along with a heap of other deliciousness on the ‘Nourish’ page of our website. You’re gonna love it, promise!
