What Should You Eat After A Workout?
Both workouts and eating well are part of a healthy lifestyle. Depending on your recommended diet, and workout plan, you may find yourself eating after your workouts. Sometimes burning just a bit too many calories may drive you to want to stuff your face with pizza, but there are numerous healthy alternatives to choose from. Check out a few great recipes for your post-workout cravings. #Flex5
Tired During Workouts? - Here's Why.
It's normal to be tired after your workout, but is it normal to be tired during your workout? If you are tired during your workouts, there are many factors that could be affecting your energy levels, but most likely it's your diet! Without proper nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and magnesium, your body cannot properly create, store, or burn energy, making you sluggish throughout your day and your workout. Checkout the article below for the full benefits each nutrient has on your body! #Flex5 #Whole9 #BeTheChange
Teenagers React To Being Called Beautiful
Open your eyes to the beauty around you!
As a society we tend to impose unrealistic expectations of what true beauty means, especially on kids and teenagers, setting them to feel inadequate, unappreciated and always feeling inferior to those who are considered “prettier” by society standards.
Beauty has no gender, color, sexuality, age or societal standards and is present anywhere you go and in everything that surrounds you. It doesn’t cost us anything to give a compliment and call someone beautiful, yet it makes a massive difference to that person’s self-esteem and this video could not have captured the rawness of beauty and what it truly means to someone.
Be generous, be kind and genuine in complimenting others and #BeTheChange, as one little word can often make or break someone’s life for years to come.
PS. I dare you to look in the mirror tonight and say “You are beautiful”

How Lean is your Pumpkin Latte?
This season from kale chips to lattes, pumpkin-spice-flavored treats are a dime a dozen. However, despite their flavoring, one would be surprised to find out that many products do not contain pumpkin at all. Pumpkin is rich in fiber, magnesium, manganese and copper. Here at #Flex5 we believe it is essential to create nutrition plans for our clients to not only look good, but feel good. #BeTheChange #FoodIsFuel #Whole9
Red Meat Causes Cancer?
This article includes some helpful interpretations of the latest World Health Organization (WHO) article that has recently reignited the whole "meat causes cancer" debate over the past couple of weeks. As with anything, it's important to do one's own research before making decisions based on things we read (especially online). Here at #Flex5, when it comes to food, we believe in all things in moderation (unless there are known issues with certain foods) when we are customizing nutrition plans for our clients. #Whole9 #FoodIsFuel #BeTheChange
