23.01.2022 Did you know that our immune system has TWO parts? The two systems work closely together, but are responsible for different tasks. INNATE IMMUNE SYSTEM ... - First line of defence - Responds the same way to all foreign substances and germs (non-specific) - Fast acting - Consists of skin and mucous membranes ADAPTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM - Takes over if the Innate system isn't able to destroy germs - Targets specific germs - Slower to respond, but more accurate - Can remember germs in order to act faster next time - Made up of T and B lymphocytes and antibodies Questions on the immune system? Pop them in the comments!

19.01.2022 Do you skip meals and snacks to 'prepare' or 'save' for eating later? Outcomes of skipping meals: You ignore your natural hunger requirements Connection to your physical body cues becomes disrupted... You may not meet your nutritional needs influencing energy, mood and more You may end up overeating at a later time Try swapping a restrictive mindset with a nourishment mindset! Provide your body with what it needs over the day, and still enjoy your special meals later.

19.01.2022 Olive oil has the potential to block an enzyme in fatty tissue, known as fatty acid synthase. This enzyme likes to create fat from spare carbohydrates. Did someone say Mediterranean Diet!? Choose high-quality Olive Oil such as Extra virgin + cold pressed.

18.01.2022 To some extent, every cell in the body relies on glucose for energy. Glucose for cells is obtained from the glucose in the bloodstream. Blood glucose levels must be maintained within strict levels to ensure that glucose is available for the cells, but not in excessive quantities.... If glucose is low, you may feel weak or dizzy. If levels are high you may feel increased thirst and experience increased urination, among other symptoms. Blood glucose balance is maintained by hormones Insulin and Glucagon. Adrenalin may also influence blood glucose, which is why stress management may be an important factor to consider. I offer Blood Glucose Testing in clinic, to monitor levels and enhance treatment. . . . . To book an appointment: PH 02 5713 5585 E [email protected] Or Book Online

14.01.2022 My top tips this easter! 1. Choose foods you appreciate, and eat them mindfully. 2. Check in with your hunger & fullness cues, how are you feeling?... 3.

(a nice alternative to store-bought chocolate, but still equally as delicious)! 5. Cherish the weekend with loved ones Keep an eye out for a new recipe I will be posting this Wednesday!

10.01.2022 "What if my child won't eat it?" It's common for kids to only go for one food or food group at meal time. If this is the case in your family, it's still important to serve up a balanced meal with all the macronutrients and variety. ... They may not eat every food group today, but they need to be continuously exposed to foods to learn to eat them in the future! Would you like some help with picky eaters?

04.01.2022 The only rule when it comes to Nutrition! DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU! There is no one size fits all.... Clinical Nutrition uses a holistic and evidence-based approach to provide specific advice for the INDIVIDUAL. This also means no comparison with your neighbour

03.01.2022 ~ CLINICAL NUTRITION EXPLAINED ~ A Clinical Nutritionist will have the appropriate qualification to provide specific and personalised nutrition advice in a clinical setting. They will make evidence-based recommendations while also having a holistic approach to healing.... They will be registered with an association and will abide by Standards of Practice. These guidelines require practitioners to operate within their level of training and protect consumers (you!), from possible harm by untrained professionals. There are many 'nutrition' courses available, but unfortunately this term is not regulated. Only degree qualified practitioners are able to offer 1 on 1 nutrition consultations in a clinical setting. When seeking out a healthcare practitioner, ask for their qualifications and confirm they are registered with an appropriate association to ensure you are receiving the best possible care. . . .
