MACBETH THEMED NUTRITION - Feb’26

Iron plays a key role in carrying oxygen, energy, and strength through the body, and dancers often feel the effects quickly when iron runs low. Much like the unraveling seen in Macbeth, low iron can develop during intense rehearsal periods, leading to fatigue, heavy legs, slower recovery, and increased injury risk, even before anaemia is recognised. The following recipes highlight practical ways to include iron rich foods with supporting vitamin C enhancers that support energy, power, and performance throughout the season.

  • Cannellini, garlic and lemon dip

  • Edamame avo dip

  • Blackcurrant dressing
