Why should we cleanse the body?

January 18, 2017realadmin_adminEducation

Firstly, what does this even mean? When you cleanse the body you help to rid the body of impurities and toxins. When the body isn’t performing at a normal function it can negatively affect our system if these toxins stay in our body. Cleansing our system helps to re-energise and aid in restoring our body to optimal function. We do this by feeding the body with natural wholefoods high in nutrients while avoiding all processed foods especially foods containing sugar and gluten.

Cleansing the body aids in

  • Driving toxins from the body
  • Resetting organs to optimal function such as the liver
  • Providing the body with nutrients
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Improving digestion

 

One of the main organs that benefits greatly from a detox or cleanse is the liver. The liver is responsible for processing sugars and when there is excess fat around the liver, its role is compromised leading to increased fat storage around the body.
The liver has 2 stages of detoxification, which are

  • Stage 1 – The liver breaks the toxins down
  • Stage 2 – The toxins are metabolised and removed from the body

 

Our body naturally is very good at naturally detoxing itself but a high stress life and poor diet can lead to the body not performing this cleanse at the level we need. Therefore we need to regularly cleanse our system. Think of a car and the amount of times we take the car in for a service. We don’t wait for something to be wrong first, we take the car in to cleanse it so it will perform at the level we expect.

When we cleanse the body we rid it of toxins which means we need to fill the body with adequate nutrients to improve function. It’s not about starving your body either. A cleanse is about allowing your body to perform at optimal function by providing it with adequate nutrients and while flushing out the toxins that cause our body to become sluggish.

There are a few warning signs which can indicate your body is in need of a cleanse:

  • Feel sluggish
  • Fatigued
  • Struggling to lose weight
  • Regular bloating
  • Brain fog
  • Digestive issues

 

Detoxing and cleansing the body is a process can take time so it’s important to remember to be patient. Different organs can take different times to recover such as the liver can take up to 4 weeks although it will depend on how toxic your body is.

If you are interested in more information about how to cleanse and detox, we are running a seminar at Real Fitness on Wednesday 25th, January at 730pm called ‘Detoxify for Optimal Health. This seminar is free for family and friends and is vitally important to health! Book in on the mindbody app to save your spot!

HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔 Being aware and mo HOW TO EAT WITH AWARENESS 🤔

Being aware and more present with our daily nutrition seems to be less and less common. What are some ways we can become more aware of what we eat?

1. Set an intention. How do you want to feel at the end of the day? Tired and lethargic? Or strong & healthy? If the answer is strong & healthy than packaged foods and sugar aren’t going to get you there.

2. Track your food. In order to become more aware we need to understand the calories that are coming in. By tracking your food you can understand what your food is made up of in terms of nutrient value.

3. Where your focus goes your energy will flow. Focus on consuming less processed more whole foods. Less alcohol more water. Increase your protein intake and your sugar consumption will naturally drop off. 

Combining these three things when deciding on meals for the day or week, writing a shopping list or when you are eating out with friends. These simple and very achievable guidelines will help you become more mindful and back on track after the festive season.

HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION With HOW TO STOP OVERCOMPLICATING YOUR NUTRITION

With the weight loss industry promoting new diets almost weekly that will shed fat, increase muscle mass, put you into ketosis, detox your organs, improve your physical performance and leave you feeling energised... But only if you exclude certain macronutrients, food groups or just eat meat and animal products only...?
It can be easy to see why people feel confused and lost when it comes to figuring out what they should eat. Today I am going to break it down into the 3 most important takeaways that will get you started on a healthy, balanced path:

1. Calories in VS calories out will always be top priority 🍉: if you eat more calories than you burn, your weight will increase and the inverse is true. Your goals will discern how much or how little you should be eating but by complying with your calorie limit, you will achieve the result you are after
2. Protein Protein Protein 🥩: we talk about it all the time but it is seriously one of the most neglected macronutrients even though it provides the most benefit by far. Protein not only resynthesises muscle which promotes growth (therefore increasing our caloric demand meaning we can eat more) but it also increases satiety, meaning when you consume enough protein, you don’t feel as hungry for the snacks or sweets that will derail you long term 
3. 80:20 Rule🍔: this one is my personal favourite and where most people get stuck. If eating 1 burger on a Saturday night with some friends is what helps you stick to your nutrition plan for the rest of the week, eat the burger. When we don’t allow ourselves to indulge in the things we love every now and then, we inevitably experience burnout and give up entirely. Just remember 80% whole food: 20% soul food.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS SUPER ⭐️ BERNADETTE!! CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS SUPER ⭐️ BERNADETTE!!

Bernadette is our latest client of the month. Finding her spot on the wall of fame, Bernadette has had raging success since she first started here at RFT. 

“B” started with the end goal in mind and hasn’t forgotten it since. She has been renamed “Little Miss Consistent” sticking to 
🏋🏼‍♀️x3 PT sessions/wk 
🚶‍♀️committing to increasing her daily movement
📓 tracking her food on a consistent basis over a year and a half
🥵 and getting 1-2 sweat sessions in per week
As a result B’s body composition has consistently (and never spiked or increased at any point!) gone down. Body fat has decreased and muscle has either stayed the same or increased. 

Working in a high pressure full time job, looking after her two precious children, wife, and everything in between Little Miss Consistent definitely deserves these results and more!! 

I am so very excited to see where 2021 takes her. Watch this space!
