Pure You Nutrition

This past few days have seen a richer intake for most of us - yep me included! Family time, time off work, routines up the left and suddenly it all goes arye!

More food, eating later, more chocolate and alcohol can play havoc with our guts. Have you ever noticed that? Do you rely on medications to help get rid of those horrid symptoms to make you feel a bit easier?

Do you know that many people can stop relying on these meds with food and lifestyle changes. Yes it takes time and patience but wouldn't it be worth it?

I recently completed a course to really hone in my skills and knowledge to help you achieve this.

A great morning this morning talking all things toxic within our houses.

I love these workshops. They are full of characters and the craic is always great.

Hearing about the I only use... Yuck, I'll never do that and oh my sweet Goodness... The variety is always fantastic.

Learning about how what we use daily in our home and on our bodies is important to realise how we feel. The chemicals can have such an impact on our hormones, food, choices , sleep and general wellbeing, not to mentions where it can become harmful with disease taking hold.

Showing natural alternatives, that don't cost a fortune and understanding actually that some of out opinions have been passed to us and we take as true e.g. if a bottle of bleach doesn't go down the loo each day, the loo isn't clean! Understanding how bleach can affect the respiratory system , impacting on asthma, COPD, bronchitis etc. allows us to take charge and make changes that will help us to feel better.

We ended the session making our own cleaner, using white vinegar and oranges - always getting an extra 1 a day in😜, for some general cleaning.

Do you consider what you use in the house and how it affects you?

National Nutrition & Hydration Week

A full week dedicated to what we eat and drink… yep lets be honest that's me every week" 🙄

But here’s the real question… how often do you choose food based on how you want to feel? Apart from the pack of crisps to get through the traffic jam!

As we sprint towards the weekend, the usual plans start creeping in, takeaway, meals out, a couple of pints, maybe the full lot. In the moment, it can feel great.

Afterwards… That crappy feeling, energy gone. Sleep - What sleep! The next day can feel like wading through treacle with concrete shoes on!

Now, I’m not here to take away anyone’s chippy or a pint of Guinness. I enjoy them too. But I also know the trade-off. For me, that means it’s an occasional choice, not a weekly rhythm.

Balance is where the magic sits.

Celebrations? Absolutely. In fact, with my birthday today, there may well be a glass raised.

But during the week, it’s about setting myself up to feel clear, energised and able to function at my best. That means colourful plates, real food, good quality protein like meat or fish, and steady hydration with water and herbal teas. Nettle tea is having its moment, fresh, earthy, and right in season.

No extremes. No perfection. Just small, consistent choices that support how you want to feel. We are all human and want to enjoy life every single day.

So this weekend, instead of asking “what do I fancy?”

Try asking “how do I want to feel after.

What's not to love??

Eating a diet rich in leafy greens, berries, and fish may help keep the brain younger for longer, with this eating pattern linked to slower shrinkage in key brain areas tied to memory and thinking, according to a new study published Tuesday in BMJ Neurology.

Peppermint: Soothing or Triggering?

While peppermint is often used to soothe digestive issues, it can relax the oesophageal sphincter and worsen reflux for some individuals.

Monitoring your body's response can help determine if it's a friend or foe.

One of my favourites is colcannon. 🥰

Spuds (Keep the skins on and smash) and cabbage - proper green savoy cabbage and butter.

Boil spuds, steam cabbage. When both cooked , pop into a pan and add a k**b of butter and mix well.

Why bother with that combo?

Contains the little nutrients that support the nervous system as well as supporting liver and some good fats also.

Usually I do have a meat or fish with it also.

Wishing you all a Happy St. Patricks Day. ☘🇮🇪

Indigestion and digestive discomfort can be incredibly debilitating.

Medication can help relieve symptoms, but if you want long-term improvement, diet and lifestyle need to be part of the conversation.

When medication is involved, progress often takes time. There usually isn’t an overnight fix, and that’s important to understand from the start.

The digestive system relies on a complex network of muscles that help move food through the body. Certain foods can influence how these muscles behave, while lifestyle factors such as stress, eating habits, sleep and alcohol can significantly affect how the body reacts.

Learning which foods affect you, and how much they impact your symptoms, is often the first step towards reducing discomfort and gaining more control over your digestion.

Changing diet and lifestyle does require commitment. But with the right support and a practical approach, the benefits can be life-changing.

Seen this and it resonated so much. 😁

Generally in the food industry they use the cheapest of cheap ingredients. The food is not made to nourish , it is to improve sales, and encourage repeat buying.

Marketing is so powerful. Low fat, no added sugar, No artificial.... Do you look at how this is achieved? What is added to make it lower fat, lower sugar? Sweeteners to bulk may add sweetness but they mess with the body. Of ocurce many of the ingredients are that nig a word, its not even recognisable, so the body wouldn't won;t recognise it either to break it down.

What do you look out for, that persuades you to buy??

Cooking is your way out of sickness, and your path to freedom from processed food and towards vibrant health and a happier life. ⁣

When we cook, we not only nourish our bodies and souls, but we also rebuild our communities, strengthen the bonds within our families and it’s fun! ⁣

What will you be cooking tonight?⁣

Citrus Fruits and Acid Reflux

Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits are nutritious but also highly acidic, which can exacerbate reflux symptoms.

Balancing your intake and monitoring your body's reactions is essential.
