Nutritional Food for Women: 12 Tips For You!
Nutritional food for women may be different from what’s best for men – & to confuse matters further, it changes as your body changes, as the demands on it vary, & as you get older. But there are some principles which will always apply! When we talk about healthy eating, what we should really be considering is ‘optimal nutrition’. Our food & drink has to do more than prevent … [Read more...]
My Child is Lactose Intolerant! What Do I Feed Her?
Milk’s good for kids, right? But, for some children, a small glass of milk, is enough to bring on a nasty stomach ache, uncomfortable bloating, wind & diarrhea. But don't panic, your kids (or you) don't need milk. These are the signs of lactose intolerance, a common digestive problem where the body is unable to process lactose, a sugar found in milk & dairy products. My daughter was … [Read more...]
Cinnamon, the Spice of Healthy Life!
Do you cook with spice? It doesn't have to be the hot stuff – paprika, cumin & coriander – but the subtler ones, like cinnamon, nutmeg & ginger. Many people don’t regularly add spice to their food, missing out on its wonderful warmth and flavour. For me, spice is a must-have in my diet – & great if you're trying to acclimatize your palate to less salt and sugar… a touch … [Read more...]
Sugar Addiction + Healthy Alternatives
If you love sweet food & joke about being ‘addicted’ to sugar, you’re actually not wrong. Sugar addiction is a real problem, with many of us consuming lots of obvious sugar (in cakes, biscuits, sweets & desserts) and plenty of hidden sugar too (in things like fruit juice, sauces, pickles, canned beans & cheese spread). Slowly but surely, sugar has crept into a huge number … [Read more...]
Are You Eating a Balanced Diet + What Does It Mean?
Most of us think we know what makes a balanced diet + tend to believe our food choices pretty much qualify. But do they? It’s a worthwhile exercise every once in a while to jot down exactly what you’re consuming over a few days – & pick yourself up on any bad habits that may have crept in. And I would even suggest clarifying what a balanced diet really means. The 'textbook' … [Read more...]
Video Nasty Tells The Truth About Food
Did you know that there’s enough fat in a pizza to fill a wine glass? Or up to 17 cubes of sugar in a fizzy drink? This new ad for the NHS Change 4 Life campaign gives us some pretty hideous facts like these about the nasty stuff that’s hidden in the processed foods & drinks that many families eat regularly. It’s pretty gross :( Apart from enjoying the flavour of simple, … [Read more...]
5 Ways To Have a Healthy Christmas!
Say “Christmas” or 'Holidays" and you think of the party build-up and the Big Day itself, both of which involve eating and drinking ourselves into a merry stupor! So “Healthy Christmas” sounds like an oxymoron :( I’m not suggesting you swap your roast dinner for a Ryvita and a thin smear of cream cheese, and pass on a glass of bubbly to sip on tap water… but there are some ways to … [Read more...]

How To Go – A Little Bit – Paleo (or: Paleo for Mums Part 2)
A few days ago I wrote my version of a Mums' Guide to Paleo Part 1: To sum up: Some bits I like - less or zero sugar, fewer carbs on your plate & more veggies; good protein, lots of nuts & lots of good fats. Some bits I don't like so much: I don't believe all carbs are the same & I don't believe they're all evil. I also don't think processed meats like deli meats, bacon & … [Read more...]
