Is Meal Frequency Important?

As coaches, we often get asked if how often you eat will impact your health goals. For years there have been myths that smaller meals more often will be more beneficial for improving metabolism and this, in turn, will improve weight loss. However, eating little and often does not impact metabolism, there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. Metabolism For starters, metabolism, in the simplest of terms, refers to an internal process through which your body expends energy and burns calories. According to Harvard Health Publishing , your metabolism runs 24/7 by converting the food you consume into energy for the healthy functioning of your body. However, much like most things, the ....

Influencers And The Health Industry: The Impacts And Outcomes

Influencers have undoubtedly made a mark on the world of social media.

But it's interesting to take a deeper look into how influencers actually function, what they promote and how they go about influencing people's minds; especially when coming from and speaking for the health industry. An Australia Talks survey recently found that less than 5% of the population trusts influencers - but a recent HypeAudit study found ....

Supplements: Which Ones To Take For Your Health And Sport Performance

Walking through a chemist, health store or even supermarket, there can seem to be endless number of jars of vitamins promising health benefits from better sleep to glowing skin, fat loss, hair growth and reduction in inflammation to name a few. The supplements industry in general can be quite difficult to figure your way around. Sean says, “it’s a fake industry built around just trying to sell things.” And so, it is important to only go for supplements that have enough research and evidence on them to prove that they actually work. You shouldn’t blindly believe just any advertisements or the word of, say, influencers. As James says, “when it ....
