12.01.2022 Thanks Nourish'd for this insight, I am sick and tired of Coconut oil being a superfood!

11.01.2022 Coeliac disease and Fertility. Today I read an interesting article by Sally Marchini (a dietitian specialising in coeliac disease). It seems that women with coeliac disease who do not follow a strict gluten free diet experience an 8.9 fold higher risk of miscarriage and low birth weight babies, compared to those with coeliac disease who do follow a strict gluten free diet. They also find it harder to conceive. If a gluten free diet is followed then risk of infertility, miscar...riage and low birth weight is no higher than in the general population. Some people have never been diagnosed, so if you have unexplained symptoms such as digestive problems or lethargy and tiredness amongst others...https://www.coeliac.org.au/symptoms/) then don't try to self diagnose, but see your GP to investigate further. A gluten free diet can be very helpful in controlling symptoms and allowing the intestinal lining to settle down. And, if you're trying for a baby then it could make the world of difference! A STRICT gluten free diet means checking every food label, every medication, being vigilant when eating out...You may need the guidance of a nutritionist or dietitian to help you navigate all this. (I'm available!) Of course other strategies will also increase your chances of conception and of a healthy pregnancy- regular exercise, sleeping well, managing stress, and eating a diet thats high in vegetables and wholefoods and low in junk!

06.01.2022 Her's an interesting but so important and so simple take on nutrition- not what are you eating, but who is cooking it? Michael Pollan is an excellent speaker, well worth a minute of your time. What are you cooking for dinner? Me, vegie curry, brown rice, fragrant spiced lentils and Spinach and Tomato Salad. Best of all, we had all that bar the salad yesterday and today we have enough for a 'leftovers' dinner- yay!

01.01.2022 We have had some fairly serious posts recently so heres one to cheer you up- food products that you may want to exclude from you diet!!!
