New Gut-Friendly Porridge Range! ✨

I’m excited to share a brand-new porridge range that’s high in fibre yet gentle on the gut – perfect for anyone looking to:
✔️ Boost fibre intake
✔️ Ease bloating and constipation
✔️ Follow a low FODMAP diet with ease

🌿 Serving suggestions:
• Make up some overnight oats with your milk of choice or live yoghurt, then top with fresh fruit just before serving.
• Enjoy warm as a classic porridge, adding fresh fruit, a spoonful of compote, dried fruit, or a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra crunch.

A big thank you to The Gut Tailor for these samples – I’m really looking forward to trying them all! 🙌

Talk about motivation!
Cold start to the day, beautiful scenery, great company and feeling energised! 🙌

Embrace the season: instead of dreading the cold weather, try to find joy in the unique aspects of exercising in chilly temperatures , such as the crisp air and beautiful wintery scenery.

Overall, staying active during the cold wintery months can help boost your mood, energy levels, and overall health. Just remember to stay safe and listen to your body as you continue to exercise during the colder months.

It was great to be speaking with the lovely journalist, Rebecca Shepherd, freelance journalist for Marie Claire UK Magazine. Rebecca was doing a piece about caffeine and wanted to gather
my professional advice about caffeine and its effects on our health.

No guesses to why Rebecca had chosen me!!😂

Here's a link on how she got on caffeine-free for 30 days, the pros and cons about caffeine in our lives and my shared evidence based advice to support her lifestyle change.

It’s Fridaaaaaay! Which means its
takeout night. All in favour for pizza tonight🍕.

Looking forward to having some special friends over to join in. A lot to catch up on and definitely no time to spend in the kitchen.

So going to ensure it’s a balanced takeaway meal. Throwing in some healthy high fibre grazers before the pizza arrives. Oh not forgetting a salad on the size❤️🍕

Let’s see if I can encourage them to tuck into some 🥕🥒🌽🫛🍓🍇

There’s food science behind this all, add fibre to your meals and it will help you excrete bad fats/cholesterol out of your digestive system so it’s not absorbed into your body!
Happy heart & mindful eating.

I love the science behind food and how it can help our health❤️

Happy, healthy Friday all x

A slightly unusual day at work …🙌

It was a pleasure having Michael Gove (MP) and his team join my Mindful Eating & Healthy lunch practical session today (Camberley).

Sensory learning was used to educate Clients with disabilities (e.g. learning disabilities, stroke, brain injuries), on how to use the 5 food groups and achieve a balanced meal.

Healthy balanced meals may help to reduce risks of illnesses or better management an existing illness.

Healthy balanced meals are linked to improving (listing just a few):-
> gut health
> energy levels
> heart health
> blood sugar levels
> bone health
> mental health
> weight management

Meals made in the group today:
Mason jar salad, we ticked all 5 food groups here, hooray! 🙌

An avocado dressing to go with the satisfying salad.🥑

Chia seed pudding, topped with coconut yoghurt and berries. A super nutritious dessert (yes you read right, a NUTRITIOUS dessert) packed with omega 3’s, protein, and fibre. 🍧🍓🫐

Disability Initiative (DI) is a charity with amazing staff that work seamlessly together to provide care and rehabilitation to many Clients with disabilities.

Thank you DI for inviting me to educate your Clients today.

Be healthy, Be happy ❤️😊🥑

Air fryer meals are increasingly becoming very popular. It’s great for getting dinner on the table fast.

And, although not everything made in the air fryer is automatically healthy, plenty of your favourites can be made with less fat and oil by utilising this smart countertop appliance.

I am frequently asked about healthy air fryer meal ideas. So I decided to post one today.

So here’s a great healthy convenient air fryer meal.

Homemade fish cakes & salad:
Batch make your fish cakes and freeze. Easily adapted to your taste, try with either salmon/cod/pilchards/tuna.
When you craving an easy to make healthy meal then pop the defrosted fish cakes (brush over with sunflower/olive oil) into the air fryer (7-8 mins or until crispy).
Serve with an exciting salad.

Try out the recipes from the British Heart foundation or Jamie Oliver has a few fish cake recipes too.
Look out for those recipes with low saturated fats, most recipes have nutritional information or may use the traffic light system - Green on the traffic light system means it has a LOW saturated fat content.

✅healthy balanced meal
✅low in saturated fats,
(happy heart❤️ )
✅fibre, happy gut 👍
✅part of your 5 a day

Happy family, happy heart ❤️
