E1 - Bitesize basics

Author: The Natural Alternative Health & Wellbeing Ltd June 23, 2020 Duration: 17:51

In this - our very first episode - I discuss an overview of how nutrition can optimise your health, including:
• Whole foods and variety of foods
• Balance of carbohydrates, protein, fats, fibre, salt
• Portion control
• 5-a-day, not just for fibre but immune health

During the episode I mention our Bitesize basics webinar for personal interest or if it's something you would like to offer as part of your organisation health & wellbeing initiative - here's a link to our webinars page https://www.natural-alternative.co.uk/nutrition-webinars/

I also talked about sugar alternatives. Here's a link to our article Sugar alternatives
