At Aloha Personal Training, we work with our hundreds of clients to incorporate a natural, well-balanced, real food diet. This diet combines the best of nutrient-dense foods to fuel your body and mind.
Start by incorporating high-quality fats into your meals, such as avocados and nut butters. These essential fats support brain health, sustained energy, and help regulate hormones, particularly for women. Pair these with grass-fed meats, a superior source of clean protein and omega-3 fatty acids that promote cellular repair and reduce inflammation.
For a comforting and nutrient-rich addition, try bone broths. Packed with collagen, amino acids, and minerals, bone broth supports gut health, strengthens joints, and promotes glowing skin. Load up your plate with leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables like kale, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. These vegetables are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, crucial for detoxification and overall vitality.
