The Perfect Addition To Your Winter Diet (4 Game-Changing Benefits Of Bone Broth)

June 7, 2018realadmin_adminEducation, Nutrition

If you’re looking for a highly nutritious way to warm up your winter mornings, then look no further than bone broth. It is a soul-warming, body healing, immune boosting addition welcome to any diet, especially if you have digestive issues, joint pain, leaky gut or you just want to take your health to the next level.

What are the benefits of bone broth?

1. Bone broth has anti-ageing properties

Meat is great, however it contains lots the amino acid methionine which has been shown to reduce longevity in animals – a solid argument in favour of a methionine-reduced diet such as a vegan or plant-based diet. Luckily for meat-lovers like myself, adding glycine to a meat-rich diet has been shown to mimic the life extension normally seen with methionine restriction. This means you can have your cake (meat) and eat it too!

2. Bone broth supports gut health and good digestion

In bone broth, the protein called collagen is broken down and produces gelatin, which is essential for connective tissue function – it literally acts to heal and seal the gut. That is why it can help anyone with leaky gut syndrome and can help reduce chronic inflammation, joint pain, prevent hair loss and build healthy skin and nails. Bone broth is also rich in another amino acid called praline, which, together with glycine, helps repair and heal the gut lining, supporting digestion, muscle repair, the nervous system and the immune system.

3. Bone broth reduces inflammation and improves joint health

Bone broth contains glucosamine, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, which are common (and normally expensive) nutritional supplements for management of arthritis, inflammation and joint pain. If you lift weights at any level, exercise regularly or are an athlete, then bone broth can really help to boost your longevity and recovery.

4. Bone broth supports immune system function

Leaky gut is characterised by undigested particles from food entering through tiny openings in the weakened intestinal lining and into the bloodstream. This causes the immune system to become hyperactive, prompting an inflammatory response which potentially leads to dysfunctions all over the body as the release of high levels of antibodies causes an autoimmune-like response and attacks healthy tissue. Bone broth is one of the most beneficial foods to help seal these openings in the gut lining and support overall gut health, which in turn, supports healthy inflammatory response and normal immune system function.

There are plenty of recipes out there, and there are only a few rules you need to follow: it must include bones, liquid, heat and time. The longer you heat the broth, the more time it will allow for the rich nutrients to be released from the bones. Experiment with chicken, beef or even fish bone broth and tweak it to your taste and liking!

Stay tuned because next week we’ll be posting our favourite bone broth recipe!

🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your 🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your meals🥬

Fruits and vegetables pose many health benefits and play a crucial role to living a healthy lifestyle. It is essential that we are adding plant matter to all of our meals because;

🍆They provide colour and texture and make the food we are eating more appealing.
🥦Fruits and vegetables are convenient and are quick and easy to eat.
🍉Plant matter contains high amounts of fibre which helps keep us fuller for longer and keeps our digestive system happy.
🍌Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories which is of more benefit to us as they are nutritionally rich but low in calories.
🌱Plant matter foods contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals which help us stay energised and feel good.
✅Eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce your risk of lifestyle diseases.

So start of by adding some greens first to your meals with some fruits in between should help in increasing your plant matter intake and watch you start reaping the benefits.

LEGEND OF THE WEEK Congratulations to this super LEGEND OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to this super star 🌟 Joanna B! 
Joanna joined our community a little under 3 months ago, armed with some big strength goals; including performing a bodyweight chin up. This has been the jumping off point for her training plan in which she completes:
3x PT 🏋🏻‍♀️
2-3x Sweat 🏃🏻‍♀️
Having never lifted a weight before coming to RFT, in the last week Joanna performed a:
• 50kg back squat for 8 reps
• 60kg deadlift for 6 reps
In under 3 months! This is largely due to her get in and get after it mentality; her determination and curiosity about what her body can do is unmatched and makes her a genuine delight to train.

Aside from that, Joanna brings such a warm and kind energy into the gym that is appreciated by all the staff and members, and makes us proud to have you as part of our gym, so thank you Joanna!
And congratulations to this Legend! 🌟🏋🏼‍♀️🤩

What’s The Most Important Part Of Your Training What’s The Most Important Part Of Your Training Plan?

Strength or Sweat? 🏋🏼💦
Yoga or Run? 🧘🏼‍♂️🏃🏼
Small daily walks or long walks a few times a week? 🚶🏼‍♀️ 🚶 

Everyone wants to know what their training plan should look like to give the best possible outcome! ✅ It’s great to be excited about training initially but over planning and underperforming will only lead to disappointment and reduce motivation! 

The truth is that the best training plan is the one you are compliant to!

COMPLIANCE always wins! 🥇 

There’s no point in planning to strength train 5x a week and run 4x a week when realistically you will only fit 3x strength and 2x runs in a regular week! 🗒 

Trying to do too much of one thing and failing to do so can cause a spiral where you just don’t do anything or do even less than you should’ve! ❌

Stick to the plan laid out by your coach, trust the process and stay COMPLIANT for the best outcomes for your health and training!
