Shoulder Pain & Exercise

18.06.2018

0 Comments

I don’t know why it would be this way, but I seem to go through phases of working with clients with the same injuries.

I can go for weeks and the only injuries which will be spoken of will be back injuries.

Then, back pain will go and I’ll work with a wave of clients with knee injuries.

The pain of the moment seems to be that related to the shoulder.

I seem to naturally gravitate towards writing about food and lifestyle topics, and although hugely important, these topics are of course not the whole picture of being […]

Feeling Hay Fever-y?

Isn’t it a shame when the summer finally arrives and then we’re all full of hay fever? How boring. And actually, isn’t it just unbelievably unpleasant.

I have suffered with hay fever for years and years, yet, when I changed my diet a couple of years ago, my hay fever stopped.

Most of you know how fascinating I find nutrition, and hay fever is a topic which really highlights how nutrition truly affects absolutely everything. At first glance, it doesn’t sound like hay fever is much to do with what you’re eating, but once you […]

A Delicious Curry Recipe To Try

Recipe time!

I’ve been making this curry quite a lot lately. Its just the right amount of spice, is made with almost all store cupboard ingredients – and for some reason I always seem to have half a tin of coconut milk and half a carton of passata in the fridge, so it makes good use of them!

This is slightly adapted from the red Real Meal Revolution recipe book, which I think is probably my favourite recipe book ever.

Its going to take you about 15 minutes in total to prepare this and around half an hour for it […]

Well, I must admit it was rather nerve wracking watching to see how many of you would vote for me with your clicks last week! Thank you for sticking around; I’m glad to hear you enjoy the things I send to you.

If there is anything you would like to read about, please do let me know; I am always open to suggestions.

The question of today is ‘would I be healthier if I stopped drinking’?

Boozy drinks seem to show up a fair bit during our week – a glass of wine to mark the end of the day […]

Have You Ruined Your Metabolism?

Is it possible to actually slow down your metabolism by long-term dieting?

Can you make your body burn less calories?

Is starvation mode something which really happens?

Lets answer the starvation mode question straight away – no. It does not really happen. Your body does not get fatter because you are eating too little. Good. Let’s move on.

As for whether you can truly ruin your metabolism and make your body burn less calories, the answer is also no, you cannot truly ruin your metabolism. But, you can make it slower (or just appear slower) – and you can make […]

How To Sleep More Effectively

Did you know your sleep quality can be the difference between good results and great results?

Poor sleep seems to be very common these days, particularly in women.

If the ONLY thing I worked on with a client was improving their sleep, the results they would see from almost any approach they were taking to eating and exercise would increase hugely.

The importance of sleep is often very underestimated in terms of its importance for not just getting in shape and losing body fat, but also for keeping your health in good check.

With this in mind, here are some […]

How wonderful would it be to always have the get up and go needed to get things done, and not to have to wait for the right moment to strike.

Improved clarity and focus is the difference between easily achieving what you want during the day, and either battling through trying to force yourself to get things done, or finding your to-do list growing ever longer by the day.

So here are my top tips for improving your mental power.

The first, obvious and expected, tip is to improve your diet. Cut the junk, don’t over or under […]

Is The Sugar Tax Going To Affect Your Waistline?

So this week saw the Sugar Tax come into effect.

Soft drinks manufacturers have to pay 18p per litre if their drinks contain more than 5g sugar per 100ml, and 24p per litre if the drink contains more than 8g sugar per 100ml.

The result of course is that companies making said drinks are reducing the sugar in their recipes, in order to avoid the tax. I’m all for this, of course its a positive thing.

I don’t think anyone can argue against the fact that we need to be eating less sugar. And I’m not anti […]

The Dreaded Evening Munchies

Oh the evening munchies.

Are they de-railing your otherwise pretty good diet and slowing, or even stopping, your quest for weight loss?

If so, it’s not just you!

But, how is it even possible to be so ravenously hungry an hour after dinner, when during the day you have no issue going between meals?

Is it just that being busy and distracted means you don’t notice you’re hungry?

I thought this an appropriate time to write about this – Easter usually provides an unwelcomely welcome influx of chocolate into the house, which usually beckons us around 8pm […]

What If Meal Timing Was The Solution To Weight Loss?

Isn’t it fascinating that our bodies stick to a pretty similar rhythm every day?

The same part of our body repairs itself at the same time every day. Our bodies are in a constant cycle of repair.

Its called circadian rhythm.

It dictates when we’ll feel tired at night and what time we’ll wake up in the morning.

What if tweaking your diet and lifestyle in line with your circadian rhythm, you could make it easier to stay in shape? What if without changing the types of food you’re eating, just the times you eat them […]
