25.01.2022 VAGUS NERVE & YOUR GUT HEALTH... Firstly, how many of you have heard of the vagus here was?! Basics anatomy:... The vagus nerve is a nerve that runs from the brain all the way through to the digestive system. It is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system (the one you want to activate for calmness ). This system can control mood, immune response, digestion and your heart rate. So basically this nerve is an essential part of the gut brain axis and is involved the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis, and the regulation of food intake, satiety, and energy homeostasis. An underactive vagus nerve can lead to delayed gastric emptying, basically because the contraction and relaxation of the intestinal muscles are controlled by the vagus nerve. Studies have shown that many people with IBS and IBDs can reduce symptoms through vagus nerve stimulation. So what does that look like? - singing, yep, belt it out in the shower or the car or hey get onto the Voice if you’ve got it - Deep and slow breathing. That’s where yoga can be amazing! - Meditation.. humming OM or staying in stillness And my favourite!! - eating probiotic and prebiotic rich foods such as yoghurt, saukraut, buckwheat, kefir, resistant starch, even probiotic supplements ... why because these contain bacterial strains that have been shown to shift the microbiome which then allow for the communication between the brain and gut. so breathing deeply and eating yummy healthy food. Easy right #health #guthealth #yoga #meditation #food #nutrition #nutritionist #balance #cvnutrition See more

23.01.2022 SATURDAY MORNING COFFEE basically my favourite day and only day I can sit and enjoy every sip. A coffee a day keeps the blood pumping for me and is ritual I love having. Who is with me? One tip: try drink coffee after your cortisol peak which usual happens between 8-9am! #health #coffee #saturdaymorning #balance #caffeine #nutritionist #nutrition

21.01.2022 CABBAGE and SULFORAPHANE it’s not just another lettuce. What you may not know is that cabbage is actually a cruciferous vegetable like broccoli and kale so it’s health benefits are extensive. One particular one that has come to light more recently is sulforaphane. This is the sulfur-containing compound that gives cabbage it’s bitter taste. More research has found that this compound may assist with cancer prevention as it releases antioxidant and detoxification enzym...es that protect against cell proliferation. Cabbage also contains other antioxidants to help reduce inflammation and help reduce heart disease, as well as fibre for healthy digestion and bowel movement. But how do you activate this compound? - by chopping the vegetables up to start the breakdown process - through chewing - through eating them raw or steaming only for a 2 to 3 minutes after chopping This salad is delicious I’ll post the recipe on my blog so you can find it to make! #Health #foodasmedicine #nutrition #nutritionist #healthy food #easyrecipes #diet #Mediterraneandiet See more

16.01.2022 HALOUMI!! This is one of my favourite vegetarian lunch bowls. Why? It packs a punch with protein, fibre, vitamin C and taste!! Tip 1: always go for a goat or sheep’s haloumi. That’s how it is made in Cyprus (never with cows milk). Tip 2: dress salad with touch of honey, lemon, olive oil and oregano Tip 3: always rinse the canned lentils very well Tip 4: enjoy! ... . Happy Saturday everyone!!! #haloumi #nutrition #nutritionist #salad #saturday #cvnutrition #fitfoodie

02.01.2022 HOW MANY VEGGIES ARE IN YOUR BOWL? Reality is veggies and fruit are essential no matter what diet you choose to follow. Vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian, meat eater, or raw food eater... The more veggie variety you get into your diet the more vitamins and minerals you’ll get.... For example, cabbage contains a higher amount of fibre, vitamin C and b5 than spinach, but spinach contains loads more b6, iron, magnesium and vitamin K. So put a variety of veggies on your plate to get more nourishment from your food. Colour is great!! Dress with vinegars, lemons, citrus and olive oil to get more fats and iron absorption. Who is making a big bowl of goodness today?? #health #nutrition #nutritionist #vegetables #vitamins #minerals #colour #vegan #vegetarian #mediterraneandiet See more
