25.01.2022 Simple answer = plenty of: -Vegetables -Fruit -Nuts and seeds -Legumes... -some wholegrains Plant based diet does not necessarily mean vegetarian or pescatarian or vegan or anything that excludes any food groups. If you need a focus word to keep you on track eating well, plant based diet is a good start. As long as there is good variety you will be consuming many micronutrients, fantastic fibre as well as contributing to most of your marconutrients. Give it a go, put more plant on your plate today, and tomorrow!
24.01.2022 Pretty straight forward first tips: nourish and move your body. Eating to nourish your brain is generally like eating to look after your health on the whole - lots of fresh vegetables and a couple of serves of fruit daily, whole grains and lean protein sources (low in saturated fat). Some good brain foods include: Fish... - Walnuts (they even look like little brains!) Eggs And reducing your intake of saturated fats and highly refined sugary foods. (This is generally speaking, if you are recommended to follow a particular diet or avoid particular foods for a health reason, this is important to continue with). Physical activity can help with the balance of neurotransmitters. It can support a healthy mood and brain function.

17.01.2022 SLEEP........ Do you feel you are getting too much, not enough, trouble getting to sleep or trouble having a solid sleep? Sleep is often overlooked for its importance in health, yet we spend approximately one third of life asleep. So if you live until 90 years old, this equates to about 32 years asleep. So much can be said about the necessity of good sleep, and where we may have lost this habit in modern living. To summarise, this TED talk from a circadian neuroscientist... (sleep study specialist) is definitely worth watching! Natural medicine has many safe, effective tools to support quality sleep and good sleeping habits. We have helped many people achieve sound slumber. So if you are looking for restful, refreshing sleep regularly, we may be able to help you get there through an individualised plan.

16.01.2022 Water, water everywhere! Not only is it good for our plants and the frogs in the garden, you need to get enough of it too You probably think of your brain, your heart and your lungs as important organs you need to look after for good health, right? These are composed of mostly water. In fact, your whole body is up to 60% water.... Getting adequate water is necessary for: Brain function - cognition, memory and alertness Blood pressure Muscle function Digesting food Eliminating waste from the body, including bowel function AND kidney function Healthy skin Regulating body temperature And MUCH more.... Therefore, it is important to make sure you are getting enough water in..... and out.

15.01.2022 LUNCHBOXES ARE LOOMING!!!! BUT stop scrolling past, dont stress, this is a simple suggestion post. With so many great ideas and recipes it can be overwhelming to know where to start, especially if your efforts so far of vegetable filled lunch boxes have been unsuccessful... Our tip - KEEP IT SIMPLE:... If you have browning bananas, imperfect looking apples, or that last bit of cauliflower or zucchini in the fridge - put it in some baking for lunchboxes (sometime in the next week). You can find a super recipe, or you can just bake your usual muffins and finely grate some peeled apple or zucchini in to the mix (chocolate muffins hide the skin colours better). Add some tahini (nut free, sesame seed spread) to boost good oils and protein in the banana muffins (*adding dates to sweeten may disguise the mild taste of tahini for those with detective like taste buds). The options are endless, but the GOALS TO KEEP IN MIND: Add as much fresh nutrition as possible, sometimes hiding in baking helps with those extra serves. Minimise sugar Avoid processed (this helps reduce packaging and waste as well as unnecessary additives) Maximise protein (seeds, tahini, egg, etc)
