    Is your lifestyle ruining your life?

    Is your lifestyle ruining your life?

    One of today’s health headlines states that “Medical students say they currently learn almost nothing about the way diet and lifestyle affect health”. Much of what GPs see in practice are chronic, non-communicable conditions for which there are currently no cures. Many patients have multiple health problems which are triggered or kept going by lifestyle. Conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, depression, obesity account f

    Food to keep you going

    Do you ever have days when normal mealtimes just don't work out? Well yesterday was one of those days for me! My children were all doing various things at different times and no-one was going to be around at lunchtime or even near anywhere they could get something to eat. Certainly, I gave them snacks and had dinner ready when they got in, but how to keep them fuelled for a busy day? This is what I served my family for brunch yesterday. Scrambled eggs on toasted wholemeal rol

    Spread the word

    While browsing the aisles of my local store, I came across a range of new products which looked both healthy and delicious, so I thought I’d give them a try. Nutural World has launched a new range of spreads made from dried fruits, seeds and nuts. Sugar and food additives are commonly found in so many spreads so I was excited to see this range made with high-quality ingredients. We all know that we need to cut back on sugar, but do we have to sacrifice taste in the process? I
    Salad upgrade

    Salad upgrade

    Does coleslaw bring up images of soggy white cabbage in polystyrene containers? Here, I have given coleslaw a health boost using red cabbage, carrots and spring onions in a dressing of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar. I have boosted its nutrition content even more with the addition of a handful of dried cranberries and another handful of pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are a great source of vitamins A, B1, B2 and B3. They also contain phosphorus, magnesium, iron,

    Food in the news

    Public Health England has declared war on calories this week. Manufacturers will need to cut the calorie content in many ready meals and take-aways. This is certainly a move in the right direction, but I can't help thinking that if only these government agencies and health organisations would educate the nation to eat real food instead of counting calories in ultra-processed foods, then we might see some real change in the state of the nation's health. Obesity is a multi-fact

    What am I eating this week?

    Grain-free options are one of the latest food trends. Grain-free diets can be helpful for some people who are experiencing digestive problems. There are lots of ways to replace grains in dishes, some of them tastier than others. I found a great recipe online using sweet potato as a quiche crust and decided to give it a try. I myself do not follow a grain-free diet, but this made a delicious supper served with salads and was reasonably simple to prepare. Ingredients: 2 medium

    A pinch of salt

    Salt is bad for you, right? That's what all the health claims say but it's actually not so clear-cut. Sodium (the mineral in salt) plays an important role in maintaining the balance of electrolytes in our bodies. Magnesium, sodium, chloride and potassium are all mineral salts that conduct electricity when dissolved in water. It is important to consume these minerals in the right balance. Too much sodium (from salt) can disrupt this balance, but it is equally important to have
