Give your health a boost with these powerful superfoods.

It’s not just kale, avocado, and coconut oil that can do wonders for your health. Nutritionists are constantly discovering new superfoods that can help you fight disease, and increase your wellbeing.

So what’s up next? Take a look at the new superfoods you need to try…

Seaweed

Adding a dash of seaweed to your diet can give your health a serious boost. This ridiculously healthy superfood contains 2x more vitamin C than orange juice, 10x more calcium than cows milk and 50x more iron than spinach. It also boasts anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory benefits too.

Avocado Oil

Oil won’t just leave you feeling good on the inside, it also has plenty of skin nourishing properties too. Thanks to its high levels of antioxidants, and hearty supply of Vitamin E, this avocado extract will leave your skin looking and feeling super supple and enviably smooth.

Maple Water

Maple water doesn’t contain any additives and boasts half the sugar of coconut water. It’s rich in minerals, polyphenols, antioxidants, electrolytes, and prebiotics – which means that it has plenty of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer health benefits too. If you’re not a fan of maple water by itself, get creative and try adding it to smoothies.

Teff

This tiny grain certainly packs a punch. Dubbed the new quinoa, teff has a long list of health benefits. Not only is it used to aid weight loss but it’s also a great source of protein for vegetarians. teff is gluten-free, high in iron and delicious!

Black Pudding

Believe it or not, black pudding is now a bonafide superfood. The breakfast favourite is packed full with protein and is relatively low in carbs. It’s rich in iron, zinc and calcium, making it the dish of choice for pregnant women and gym bunnies everywhere.

How to get lean at home

What is the secret to losing weight and toning up? Is there a big secret that you might be missing?!

As the title suggest, there is no secret!. We believe that you need to stop relying on the gym and start exercising at home! Realistically the 4 gym sessions you planned to do at the start of the week turns into 2 maybe 3 sessions.

To lose excess body fat you need to have a daily calorie deficit. This means that you need to use more calories than you consume every day. In order to make a difference over the week you then need to have this deficit at least 5 days a week.

Getting to the gym for an hour long session 5 times a week takes up a lot of time. By the time you’ve got to the gym got changed and got home it can be more like an hour and a half to 2 hours out of your day.

However these workouts don’t all have to be hour long sessions. You can burn around 300 calories during a 20 minute HIIT workout done in your own home. This could be all you need to create your daily caloric deficit and you don’t have to waste time packing your kit, traveling to and from the gym, with your own private shower and changing room at hand.

Try this 10 minute HIIT workout and see for yourself what can be done from your own living room.

Let us know how you get on with your HIIT workout!
