Water,Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition,news & facts.

Water

Ensure you are drinking two litres of pure, filtered, still water.  Use a Brita filter jug or Bobble bottles which filter around 50% of chemicals from water.  If you cannot obtain filtered water then glass bottled or bottled mineral water is your next best option.  Avoid sparkling water it causes bloating and inhibits the absorption of nutrients.

Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

 

Nutrition is vital to balance inflammation in the body.  Generally your nutrition is highly anti-inflammatory.  In terms of refining your existing diet, work towards the following:

·       2 large organic raw salads daily (dress with either olive oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil) – flavour with sundried tomatoes, olives, avocado, fresh herbs and grated carrot.  Include the dark salad leaves: watercress, rocket & spinach.

·       Half your plate should be green vegetables (steamed) and dressed in healthy fats (butter, ghee, oils).  Focus on increasing variety -  kale, spinach, bok cho.

·       Include more root vegetables, especially on training days – sweet potato is highly anti-inflammatory, also roast large tray of squash, celeriac, butternut squash and parsnips.  Have a fist sized serving with meals.

·       Eat seafood or fish everyday and oily fish three times a week (salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herrings) – avoid tuna.

·       Meat should be grass fed, outdoor reared, hormone/antibiotic free not intensively farmed – ask butcher.

·       Gravy needs to be homemade from cooking juices from meat or replace with oils and homemade mayonnaise (see Fitter Food).

·       Fish should where fresh and wild (frozen is fine).

·       Eggs always free range and organic.

·       Cook on low temperatures (sauté on low heat, oven bake on 180 or below and use a slow cooker as much as possible.)
