Welcome back to the 5th, and final, part of my nutrition series. In part 1, we talked about the macros of our diet — protein, carbs and fat. In part 2, we covered the deeply unsexy but necessary topic of fibre. Part 3 delved into the salty topic of sodium. Last time we discussed vitamins and if multivitamins are necessary. Phew! That’s a lot! Today we going to round things off with the question which minerals do we need to stay healthy. We’re also going to discuss the best way to meet our daily needs.

For each part of my nutrition series, I’m going to start with my trigger warning. There will never be any discussion of diets, intentional weight loss strategies or calories here On my blog. Ever. I think it is important to discuss how to look after and properly nourish your body though. It makes such a massive difference to your health and how you feel. If you think this would be triggering for you due to an eating disorder, orthorexia in particular, or just cos it all seems too close to diet talk for you to handle, feel free to skip these posts. I look forward to seeing you back here soon 🙂

Still here? Great 😃 Let’s begin…
