Hola! You are welcome to Wednesday Episodes on Nutrition with Blessing Ibitayo. Grab your notepad/diary and pen, it's gonna be a smooth ride, and let's fire on. Today's topic of discussion is - EAT THE RAINBOW: RED FRUITS & VEGGIES A basic rule of good eating is to "eat the rainbow." It entails consuming a variety of colored fruits and veggies each day. Getting the full spectrum of nutrients your body requires to flourish can be simple when you eat a variety of vibrant meals. An array of well-balanced nutrients is what your body gets from a diversified diet. Your body will also be more susceptible to illness, disease, and poor performance if you don't eat a healthy diet. RED FRUITS & VEGGIES: Lycopene and ellagic acid are the two phytochemicals found in RED fruits and vegetables. Red fruits and vegetables contain the following vitamins and minerals: - potassium - folate - vitamin K1 - lycopene (vitamin A) - vitamin C The health benefits include: ° reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease ° anti-inflammatory ° antioxidant ° lower your risk of certain cancers ° reduce sun-related skin damage Cranberries, kidney beans, cherries, apples, raspberries grapes, red peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, red onions, pomegranates, beets, and watermelon are a few examples of nutritious red foods. LIFE APPLICATION: Variety is what your body needs to thrive—a rainbow of nutrients. Thank you for following through. Don't forget to drop your comment on what you've learned.

WHY WE NEED TO EAT THOSE GREEN VEGETABLES! 🥦🥬🥒🫑 On this Healthy June with Elizabeth Challenge, I encouraged you to make five small changes. I am beginning to realise that this was rather a big ask, as even I have found some days difficult. I hope some of you are still with me and feeling the benefits of these changes to your lifestyle. Please do let us know how you are getting along. The fourth change I suggested, was to increase your intake of green vegetables. I am sure you will be interested to know the reasons! Most importantly they are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that protect us from disease. Green vegetables are also anti-aging because they delay the shortening of telomeres which are the protective tips on DNA that shorten with aging. When the telomere is completely gone the cell dies. Our greens are also packed with fibre which we need for good digestion and to feed and nourish good gut bacteria. I hope this will encourage you to eat more greens especially broccoli, spinach and kale. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to enjoy a Mediterranean diet which we know is a healthy diet. One thing that I noticed is that vegetables are an important part of the breakfast menu. I now incorporate this into my diet. Sometimes it is simply cooked roasted peppers with tomatoes and sometimes courgettes/zucchini which are quick and easy to cook with a little olive oil. This morning. I had steamed spinach, with eggs and mushrooms, which a few months ago I would not have dreamed of having at breakfast! The importance of good nutrition cannot be over-emphasized; I believe, “If food is not your medicine, then medicine will become your food!” Good nutrition nourishes the body and provides it with the nutrients it needs to protect it from disease, renew cells, remove toxins, and provide energy to enable it to work and play. What we eat is the foundation of good health so please eat those greens! #healthyjunewithelizabeth #nutrition #nutritionist #healthyeating #healthyliving #health #healthyfood #eatyourgreens #vegetables #healthcoach #healthcoaching

When it comes to longevity, you need to make sure you are providing the right nutrition to preserve our healthy bones 🦴⬇️ Experiencing bone loss is a natural part of aging, but eating a well-balanced diet can slow down the process. Here are several nutrients you need to prioritize to keep your bones healthy as you age: Calcium: If you don't get enough calcium from your diet, your body will pull the minerals from your bones. Dairy products are more widely known as being sources of calcium, but other calcium-rich foods include tofu, beans, leafy greens, sardines, bok choy, and plant-based milk. Luckily, many of our Longevity Diet meals contain tofu, beans, and/or dark, leafy greens. Vitamin D: Now, to absorb the calcium from your diet, you need to make sure you are getting enough vitamin D. While you can always get vitamin D from the sun, sometimes that is not always possible, so we need to make sure we are consuming vitamin D-rich foods. These include salmon, tuna, egg yolks, mushrooms, milk, and fortified plant-based milk and cereals. When choosing meals from our Pick Your Own plans, make sure to choose a few of our delicious salmon dishes! Protein: Protein is essential for replacing bone when it is lost, so make sure you are getting enough. The average adult should strive for around 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight, while older adults may need to increase the amount to 0.45 grams. That being said, always check with your doctor or Registered Dietitian to determine your appropriate protein needs. Protein sources include meat, Greek yogurt, eggs, tofu, lentils, and almonds.

Happy National Eat a Cranberry Day! I am passionate about helping myself and my clients find smart ways to indulge cravings while staying on track with nutrition. In this video, I share a quick, healthy crantastic version of "Ants On a Log" using craisins, pumpkin seeds, and peanut butter powder, which is lower in fat and calories and higher in protein than traditional peanut butter. (Full Recipe Below) One of the best-known benefits of cranberries is their use in promoting urinary tract health. Laboratory studies have shown that cranberry extract also reduces oxidation of LDL-cholesterol (so-called “bad” cholesterol), an effect which research indicates may be important in maintaining a healthy heart. A 2015 study found that incorporating cranberries into a diet protects the gut microbiota, protecting against infection and providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions that benefit the cardiovascular system, metabolism, and immune function. Check out this video for two more Healthy Quick Snack Ideas Using Peanut Butter Powder: https://lnkd.in/gzJmXG4d Ingredients: 2 Tablespoons PB2 Original Powdered Peanut Butter @pb2foods 1 1/2 Tablespoons water 2 Tablespoons Raisins or @oceanspray Craisins 2-3 Medium Stalks Celery 2 Tablespoons of peanuts or pumpkin seeds (optional) Recipe: 1. Rinse and dry celery. Trim the ends and slice stalks in half, creating 6-7" long pieces 2. Combine peanut butter powder and water in a bowl. 3. Fill each piece of celery with peanut butter, add toppings and enjoy! Thanks for watching!

Gut Health Tips: 1. Diversify Your Diet: Consume a diverse range of foods, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. This diversity supports a rich and balanced microbiome, the community of beneficial bacteria in the gut. 2. Prebiotic-Rich Foods: Consume foods high in prebiotics, such as garlic, onions, leeks, asparagus, and bananas. Prebiotics provide the necessary fibre that nourishes and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. 3. Limit Processed Foods and Sugar: Reduce the intake of processed foods and added sugars, as they can negatively impact the balance of gut bacteria. Opt for whole, nutrient-dense foods to support a healthier gut environment. Foods that Promote a Healthy Gut: 1. Yogurt: Contains probiotics that support gut health. Choose varieties with live and active cultures for maximum benefits. 2. Fibre-Rich Foods: Whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes are excellent sources of fibre. Fibre promotes regular bowel movements and provides fuel for beneficial gut bacteria. 3. Fermented Foods: As mentioned earlier, foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and miso are rich in probiotics, which contribute to a healthy gut flora. 4. Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are not only rich in antioxidants but also contain fibre that supports gut health. 5. Ginger and Turmeric: These spices may help with digestion. #ZydusSouthAfrica #DedicatedToLife #ZydusHealthCareSA #healthylifestyle #SouthAfrica #healthyliving #nutrition
