๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’• My favourite pink smoothie using dragon ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•

My favourite pink smoothie using dragon fruit (pitaya) powder. The powder holds some nutritional benefits however Iโ€™m not a โ€œsuperfoodโ€ promoter but I do love the amazing colour - something feels awesome about drinking a pink smoothie ๐Ÿ˜‰

This one has banana, cherry, dragon fruit powder, VIVO vegan protein and coconut water ๐ŸŒฑ

ps vegetables are my favourite superfoods ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅ‘๐Ÿ†๐Ÿซ‘๐Ÿฅ•
Did you know that timing and supplements can affec Did you know that timing and supplements can affect your test results? ๐Ÿค” 

Some examples of this are below.

๐Ÿฉธ Biotin (vitamin B7) can lead to altered results in thyroid testing by falsely elevating T3 and T4 and by affecting troponin (a biomarker for heart attacks). Biotin is often found in B vitamins, prenatal supplements and often seen in hair/nails growth products.

๐ŸฉธStrenuous exercise or alcohol consumption prior to testing can alter iron studies and other markers including creating kinase, thyroid hormones, albumin, bilirubin and CRP. Alcohol should be avoided 24-48hrs prior to testing.

๐ŸฉธTiming - Testosterone is highest in the morning and decreases as the day progresses, same with cortisol making morning testing generally more preferable.

๐ŸฉธFasting - recommended prior to most blood tests. An overnight fast and having blood taken first thing in the morning is ideal for most testing. It is important however, to be hydrated when testing is done as dehydration can affect some markers. Iโ€™m talking water for hydration, avoid caffeine ๐Ÿ˜‰

๐ŸŒฑGeneral advice is avoid supplementation approximately three days prior, avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol, maintain a similar diet with a fasting period the night before whilst remaining hydrated. This is very general and will change with the individual and current treatment so always speak to your practitioner before ceasing any supplementation/medication.
