❓Just 30g of legumes a day can reduce bowel cancer risk ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📚 The evidence suggests that eating 35g legumes a day reduces risk of bowel cancer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥜 Adding in just a handful of lentils, chickpeas and kidney beans to your diet by topping salads, adding to soups or baking in casseroles could have more benefits than just taste ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱 It is likely due to the high fibre content which has been shown to help prevent colon cancer. The recommended fibre intake is 30g per day but most people eat only 18g
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ The results come from a meta analysis which is a strong body of evidence! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👎One negative to eating legumes is people with IBS may find them hard to digest, but there is a large variety of legumes and not all will trigger your symptoms. Tinned versions keep the nutrients but are often reported to be easier to digest!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below easy ways to get more legumes into your diet! ⬇️

3 UPPER BODY EXERCISES YOU NEED TO TRY! ❗️💥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔴 Using ONLY a kettle bell!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Kettlebell bent over row (make sure you hinge at the hips and keel shoulder blades retracted)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2️⃣ Kettlebell floor press ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3️⃣ Kettlebell tall kneeling overhead press ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can either add these exercises to your normal Upper body day, create or circuit where you complete 4 rounds of 10-12 reps of each exercise.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a good lower body kettlebell workout which I’ll post in my story if you want to combine them for a full body workout!

You guys are going to go NUTS for the new @barebells.uk flavour... hazelnut chocolatey nougat. Perfect with a cup of tea... and even better when this sunshine is making it go all melty and gooey 😍

Changing habits for the better!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve come to the end of my campaign with @Tenzing to bring you a series of top tips on how you can make small changes that have a big impact on your health, and the environment! Making changes that become habits are the best way to make long-term changes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A summary of tips I’ve spoken about: ⠀⠀⠀
1. Make exercise a habit by taking your gym kit with you to work/uni/school so you’re more likely to go straight after work as part of your routine ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Drink more water and reduce plastic use by getting a aluminium water bottle you can refill ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ 3.Make small swaps to incorporate more plant based foods in your diet like swapping dairy milk for nut or oat alternatives - if everyone did this it would make huge changes for the environment! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What new habits have you ingrained so far this year?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Don’t forget the lifelong relationship you have with yourself this Valentine’s Day! Eat a bit better, move a bit more and love your body and what it can do (I’m still amazed I can get through an @f45_stratford class!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A fantastic evening filled with love and friends thanks to @londonpaleogirl @mrshollingsworths @madedotcom and thanks for the big feed @platterlondon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
