Nutrition
Nutrition is the process of eating and drinking that provides the body with critical nutrients to nourish our bodies. These nutrients in the right amounts support our body to grow, fight off illness, make decisions, move, and live well. Good nutrition is important to support our body's many extremely complex systems. Healthy eating gives our body its best chance at working well for our goals. This is because healthy eating includes a good balance of micro and macro nutrients that support healthy metabolism and physical processes in our body.

Your Jinjerli Getting Started Package

You should aim to do a variety of:

  • Cardiovascular exercise
  • Resistance/Strength-based
  • Balance and flexibility

While exercise in general requires additional energy, which can benefit weight loss, aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, and some sports etc) that is of a moderate intensity and a longer duration continues to use energy and burn calories long after exercise.

Regular endurance exercise also changes our longer-term resting metabolism rate, particularly for men. anaerobic resistance training, such as lifting weights, and short burst high intensity exercise, increases muscle mass. This increased muscle mass burns more energy during exercise, and also impacts our weight loss while resting.

Balance exercises provide a supportive role to continue exercising effectively by improving stability, strengthens muscles and improves alignment. Flexibility exercises improve range of motion and recovery, so that we can continue to avoid injury and keep moving to gain metabolic benefits more consistently.

Many types of exercises can be a combination of all three.

Cardiovascular:

The type that raises your heart rate and breathing rate, and specifically improves these systems. Think walking, running, dancing, sports, swimming

Resistance/strength:

builds muscle – think lifting weight and body weight exercises such as squats, tai chi, and HIIT

Balance and Flexibility

think yoga, tai chi and pilates.
