💪 Excercise to beat cancer.

Exercise isn’t just about fitness—it could help slow cancer growth! 🧬 Research shows that when you move, your muscles compete with cancer cells for sugar, making it harder for tumours to thrive.

At Body & Soul, we believe in simple, creative ways to stay active—whether it’s a brisk walk, dancing in your kitchen, or taking the stairs. Every move counts toward better health and vitality!

🥛 How does Kefir work?
Just putting a bit more flesh on the bone following our Introduction to Fermented Foods workshop the other day🧑‍🍳✨
The microbes in kefir grains feed on lactose (milk sugar) and convert it into a mix of:

🧪 Lactic acid – gives kefir its tangy taste
💨 Carbon dioxide – may add a little fizz
🍷 Tiny amounts of ethanol
🌿 A range of bioactive nutrients and vitamins that are great for your health

Lactose is found in the watery part of milk, so it’s not directly related to fat content (as we inadvertantly said yesterday). That said, lactose levels can vary slightly throughout the year depending on things like season, breed of cow, and stage of lactation 🐄🌱. These changes are usually small – but in practice, the kefir you make can vary quite a bit.

That variation is more likely down to things like:
🥛 Type of milk
🧈 Fat content
🌡️ Temperature
⏱️ Fermentation time.. and the list goes on! Even your grains can change in composition over time.

But whatever the variation, kefir brings a whole host of health benefits when enjoyed regularly, including:
✅ Improved digestion (especially for those with lactose intolerance)
🦠 Support for a healthy gut microbiota
🔥 May help reduce inflammation
💪 A good source of B vitamins, calcium, and protein

🎄 The UPF Season Is Here – And It’s Killing Us 🎄

This party food brochure just screamed one thing: Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) season is in full swing.

💔 Reality check: UPFs make up around 60% of the calories eaten in the UK. That means most of what we eat isn’t real food—it’s industrial junk engineered for profit, not health.
📉 The science is crystal clear: high UPF intake = obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and even poor mental health (BMJ, WHO).
So let’s stop pretending this is harmless “party food.” Every time you pile your plate with this stuff, you’re trading convenience for chronic disease. If that sounds harsh, good—because it’s reality.
✅ My advice? Avoid like your life depends on it—because it does. Take a tip from Rudolph 🦌 and stick to the carrot sticks 🥕.

My Latest Sourdough Loaf 🍞✨
I’m loving the nutty taste and distinctive sourdough tang of this Spelt & Wholemeal Rye beauty! 🌾💛
Ingredients:
🥄 90g wholemeal rye starter
🌾 300g white spelt
🌾 200g rye wholemeal
💧 315g water
🧂 9g salt
Method:
✔️ Mix in a bowl and leave in the airing cupboard for ~8 hrs.
✔️ Do 4 rounds of ‘stretch & fold’ with a scraper.
✔️ Dough will be sticky and hard to shape—don’t panic!
✔️ Pop into a banneton, rest overnight in the fridge.
✔️ Bake at 225°C in a Dutch oven (lid on) for 45 mins.
✔️ Cool, slice, enjoy! Freeze slices for later.
✅ No preservatives, sugar, or excess salt.
💰 Cost: ~£2.40 for ingredients + baking.
Real bread, real flavour!
📌 Note: Because of the wholemeal rye flour, this loaf is denser than one made with 100% white flour—but that’s part of its hearty charm! 🌾💪
