At Nua Naturals, we believe that fuelling your body with natural nutrition matters — especially when you’re moving it. Whether you’re an early riser heading out for a sunrise run or someone sneaking in yoga between meetings, your body thrives when you nourish it with clean, natural ingredients.

What is Natural Nutrition?

What is Natural Nutrition?

Natural nutrition is about going back to the basics — fuelling your body with real, unprocessed foods that are as close to nature as possible. It’s not about strict rules or fad diets. It’s about choosing ingredients that support your well-being, your energy, and your daily rhythm.

Think wholefoods, functional mushrooms, organic proteins, and foods that deliver nutrients your that body recognises and loves. It’s nutrition that works with your body, not against it.

How Exercise Affects Your Nutrient Needs

How Exercise Affects Your Nutrient Needs

When you exercise, you’re putting your body to work. That means your nutrient needs increase — particularly for protein, B-vitamins, magnesium, antioxidants, and adaptogens. Whether it’s building muscle, improving endurance, or supporting post-workout recovery, your body needs more fuel to function at its best.

Hydration, electrolytes, and the right macros matter — but so does the quality of your fuel. That’s where natural nutrition shines.

5 Natural Foods That Support Active Bodies

Here are five of our favourite powerhouse ingredients that work in sync with movement and recovery:

  • Organic Whey Protein: Our new Organic Whey Protein delivers clean, creamy, high-quality protein — without additives or fillers. It’s perfect post-workout to help rebuild and repair muscle tissue, and it mixes easily into shakes or smoothie bowls.
  • Cordyceps Extract Powder: Known for its energy-enhancing properties, Cordyceps is a functional mushroom that may support endurance, oxygen uptake, and recovery. Great for those long hikes, HIIT sessions, or early mornings when you need a boost.
  • Reishi Extract Powder: Often called the “mushroom of immortality,” Reishi helps support the body’s stress response and immune system. It’s perfect post-workout or in the evening to promote calm and balance.
  • Leafy Greens: Spinach, kale, and rocket are loaded with iron and antioxidants to support oxygen flow and reduce inflammation.
  • Banana: Nature’s convenience snack! Packed with potassium and carbs for energy and muscle support.

 

Tips for Combining Whole Foods with Smart Supplementation

You don’t need a shelf full of powders and pills. Start with real food and layer in functional support where your routine needs it. A few tips:

  • Add Whey Protein to your post-workout smoothie or overnight oats.
  • Stir Cordyceps into your morning coffee before a cardio session.
  • Sip Reishi in warm almond milk after an evening stretch or walk.
  • Focus on balance: carbs + protein + fat = sustained energy
