The feet emerge as biomechanical marvels, bearing the weight of our physical existence and facilitating our interaction with the ground beneath.

🦶 The human foot has 26 bones and over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments, and is crammed with an abundant array of sensory receptors.

Feet serve as conduits for intricate proprioceptive information, continuously relaying data about surface texture, pressure distribution, joint alignment and movement dynamics throughout the fascial network and the central nervous system.

Feet are the original, optimal mode of human transport, capable of handling hundreds of millions of steps in our lifetime.

Fitness professionals can employ a multifaceted approach when improving proprioception, encompassing balance and co-ordination training exercises, sensory stimulation techniques such as adopting a barefoot lifestyle, and posture and movement skill retraining protocols.

Understanding calories and portions for optimal health

Dr Linia Patel (PhD), RD explains why she doesn’t meticulously count her calories, saying:
"During my recent book tour, a recurring question was why I chose not to include calorie, carbohydrate, and protein breakdowns for each recipe. My response?

Drink this energy tonic. Try fasting! Put grass-fed butter in your coffee. Go plant based and so on … We live in a world that loves a hack – and it’s no different when it comes to ways to invigorate your life.

🚀Dr Linia Patel (PhD, RD) looks at how to fight fatigue and increase your energy levels.

I have had the privilege of working with many movers and shakers who are at the top of their game in both the corporate and sporting world, and I can tell you one thing: successful people thrive on daily routines.

They attribute their achievements to the power of consistency and structure. There isn’t a single ‘high-performing, high-energy diet’, but high achievers excel by mastering the basics and committing to seemingly small actions consistently. Ironically, the most effective strategies are often the simplest ones, done consistently. Small habits can lead to transformative gains.

Feeling tired occasionally is natural but, if you’re constantly fatigued, it’s time to take control, fight fatigue and focus on replenishing your energy.
