How to keep water bottles clean and bacteria free

Water bottles can often be neglected and left in sports bags until the next training session comes around.  So to prevent any bacteria lurking in your bottles, you should clean them after each use. Here’s our advice:

HEALTHY EATING

Plant-based sources of protein

Protein is important for building and repairing muscles and for our immune system. Meat is a rich source of protein, so if you decide to exclude or reduce your meat intake you will need to get your protein from other foods.

Using wholegrain bread instead of white bread will help to increase your fibre intake.
