At Fluidform, we understand the interplay of movement and nutrition to maximise your health and wellbeing. Nutrition helps to nourish and support your body, to perform better, move more efficiently and recover safely.
It is important to integrate a balanced diet of wholefoods, vegetables, vitamins and protein to fuel, energise and satisfy your body and mind. Most importantly, we recommend you listen to your body and feed it with the nutrients you need to feel strong, happy and healthy.
Nutrition should be simple and achievable. Forward planning allows you to map out your meals and ensure you are eating an abundance of balanced, fresh foods. Stick to wholefoods (unprocessed and free of added sugar), fresh fruit and vegetables and incorporate a mix of protein, carbohydrates and fats.
Our secret to staying on track with your nutrition is always having healthy, protein rich snacks on hand to keep your body energised between meals. We asked our friends at Sakara Life for the ultimate snack, to tick all our nutrition boxes while still being delicious.
