Supporting the immune system via food has been in place for centuries and there are simple ways to do this here and now in 2022, shocking, I know :) Supplementation holds a valuable place in supporting the immune system and easing symptoms, however, it is important to know you can't out supplement a bad diet!

Coco-Green Smoothie

June 13, 2021 by aletheam Leave a Comment

Smoothies can be an alternative way to increase your vegetable intake if you are finding it hard to increase vegetables in the morning. They also can be a great option post-workout/long runs when your digestive is not quite ready for whole foods and you need to refuel, this is particularly important if a second session is scheduled for later in the day. Adding vegetables to your smoothies increases the nutrient profile in the meal and also over the day. Remember to chew your smoothies - sounds odd right? Slowing down and chewing allows time for digestion to work as it should, this is super important if you tend to experience bloating.

February 25, 2020 by aletheam 2 Comments

The on-watch list of nutrients Plant-based eating holds some wonderful health benefits, however, it is important to keep in mind that there are some nutrients that are low or not available in a vegan diet. I have included a list of those nutrients in this blog. As mentioned in my other blog, it is important to gain pathology and a baseline of many of these essential nutrients prior to dietary changes to assess and address any nutrient deficiencies. A nutritionist can help you with this process. Vitamin B12 – This vitamin only occurs naturally in animal foods. It is essential for healthy cells and making DNA, kind of important. Being low in vitamin B12 can lead to fatigue, nerve issue and depression. Vitamin B12 should be closely ...
