Great info here!

FOS are prebiotic fibers that feed Bifidobacterium and, thus, provide many health benefits.

FOS intake is linked to:
- Lower inflammatory cytokines
- Increased IgA secretion in the large intestine
- Improved metabolic function and blood sugar control
- Less respiratory illness

PMID: 16996154

Regular consumption of FOS seems to have the most benefit, and eating at least 3 grams a day gives you a therapeutic dose.

For reference, Jerusalem artichoke contains about 15 grams of FOS per 100-gram serving.

Last week someone asked me this question: "I'm tired all the time and I think I have iron deficiency - should I just try some iron supplements to see if I feel better?".

The short answer is NO. Iron tablets/supplements should not be taken without first speaking with your health professional. There are many reasons why your iron stores may be low, and inadequate intake is only one reason out of many possible causes.

There may be an underlying condition that means you are using up lots of iron. It is important that you speak with a GP to check out if there is excess iron usage or bleeding in the body. Other reasons for low iron is that you aren't absorbing the iron you are consuming. We need "helper" nutrients Vitamin C, copper and vitamin A for instance. There are many, many reasons why your iron levels may be low.

If you suspect that you are iron deficient, a simple blood test through your health practitioner will be able to determine your iron status. Don’t "self-prescribe" supplementations, contact a Clinical nutritionist for a full assessment.

When you book in for a consultation, I will listen to you. I take your health history, focusing on you as a whole person, assess your current symptoms (and past symptoms) and concerns, make referrals if needed and we will formulate a plan to restore you back to the healthy, happy person you are deserving of. Contact me to book in via emmavmanning@live.com or 0422246231.

Your health will thank you for it.

Now the humidity has dropped (for a moment!) it’s lovely to get outside and catch some much needed vitamin D and also building the melatonin levels for tonight’s sleep. Cup of long black decaf for me (caffeine and me don’t mix well, each to your own coffee-lovers!)

Avocado on sweet potato toast. Slice a long orange sweet potato lengthways (about 1 cm approx), wipe with olive oil and grill each side until cooked through. Half an avocado, mash up with lime and fresh oregano. Pop the mashed avo onto the sweet potato toast and enjoy!
