Being consistent is a fundamental element. When you are organising your time schedule activities at the times you are most likely to achieve them consistently. Minimum effective resistance exercise is 10 sets per body part each week. Always think ‘what’s the minimum I have to do for the maximum benefit?’ Diversity is key for optimising your microbiome. Fitness helps to build gut bacteria and eating more real food and a greater variety of food will support diverse gut bacteria. Protein is vital because when we take in protein we also take in minerals and vitamins. Discipline needs to be used to create good habits. The difference in skills between top athletes is very minimal it’s ultimately about mindset. As humans, we default to negative thoughts and when life gets busy you need to train your mindset to be positive and this can be achieved through affirmations. It’s important to understand how you view things is a trainable skill. The brain defaults to thinking negative thoughts and affirmations can be used to effectively change the way you view things. Affirmations can be short and about what you want to happen, taking less than a minute. They have a positive compound effect on the way your brain works. What you eat and how you move are the key to having a better life.   BEST MOMENTS ‘50% of what we buy is ultra-processed’ ‘The principle of consuming more real food is the start of achieving better nutrition’ ‘It’s important to understand how your view things is a trainable skill’   VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization  High Performance website  Peak The New Science of Athletic Performance That is Revolutionizing Sports by Dr Marc Bubbs Dr Bubbs website   ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster Angela is a Nutritionist, Health and Performance Coach.
