Winter colds and flu continue to ‘bug’ us and we all want the best chance of fighting off those nasty winter bugs, and surprisingly it is actually easier than we might think.  Superfoods are foods that provide people with benefits beyond that of normal nutrition. That is, they provide more than just energy, and vitamins and minerals for good health – they contain nutrients with extra health benefits or special nutrients such as antioxidants (which protect the body against damage from oxidative stress and disease). These foods can help people fight off winter colds and flu’s as well as keeping them looking and feeling their best at a time of year when it’s common to feel run down or unwell.

Velca Health Centre is there to help people get on top of winter niggles and their nutritionist, Melissa, has a Bachelor degree in Nutritional medicine which allows her to understand what effects certain foods have within the body on a cellular level, and therefore enabling her to recommend specific nutrients and healthy food options to help restore the body’s own healing and detoxification capabilities

Velca Health Centre is the award winning ‘one stop’ Auckland health centre situated in Howick, just down the motorway from the CBD, and their philosophy is to help their clients to achieve their goal of total wellness so they can operate at 110%. They offer a range of services to correct pain and see their clients down a road of better health and well-being.

With the emphasis on nutrition, boot camps, Pilates and personal training, focusing on chiro, physio and massage the Velca team emphasise that exercise should be fun, not a chore and their Group Fitness programmes are a powerful way to get the motivation, inspiration and results people are looking for. Group exercise suits all fitness levels  where people gain strength from exercising with others and motivating each other to push just a little bit more.  Each of Velca’s group classes contains awesome chart-topping music, inspiring qualified instructors, and the latest cutting-edge choreography – delivering the ultimate exercise experience.
