Description
Ben Steele-Turner is a physiotherapist and associate nutritionist and in this episode discusses what a healthy diet consists of along with the impact of macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients in supporting the essential functions of the body.
When a recovery plan and a healthy eating plan are combined recovery is better supported and you are providing your body with the tools it needs to move forwards and Ben shares great content on what makes a healthy diet and why.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you have a healthy diet then blood flow will be better.
It’s about giving the body the tools it needs, are your cells happy, do they have what they need?
The building blocks for a healthy diet are -
Macro-nutrients – proteins are needed for muscle, bone, haemoglobin and immune cells. Carbohydrates – energy and fuel for cells throughout the day. Dietary fats – for cell activity and hormone activity
Micro-nutrients are the vitamins and minerals you need. It’s important to have enough of each micro-nutrient
Healthy fats are essential for good health and can be split into saturated and unsaturated fats.
Ideally, saturated fats should make up no one than 10% of your diet.
Seeds, nuts and avocados are all sources of healthy unsaturated fats
An Omega 3 supplement can be taken if you are eating less than the required amount of fruit and vegetables
With chronic conditions moving to a more plant-based diet is important in conjunction with the avoidance of highly processed foods.
BEST MOMENTS
‘For your general health sugar intake should be limited’
‘It’s about everything being in harmony’
‘When you have exercise help and also have help with healthy eating you are in a better position to self-manage’
