What might the future face of healthcare look like?

What might the future face of healthcare look like?

We are lucky enough in this country to have had 60 years of the National Health Service, and whilst I am eternally grateful for the care they offer I have recently been interested and excited to hear doctors and other health practitioners discussing how we might improve this service to take advantage of a much wider and diverse range of healthcare options that we have available.  In order for a patient to be assessed and diverted to most appropriate care do we need to re-think the current...

What do you need to know if you want to eat a more plant based diet?

What do you need to know if you want to eat a more plant based diet?

There has beeen an enormous interest in vegan diets of late, and I have noticed more of my clients, and friends, are becoming vegan. Even more are considering it; or at the very least, eating a more plant based diet. A recent study by the Vegan society found that over 20% of respondents would consider becoming vegan.

Eating more fibre will make you happier

Eating more fibre will make you happier

In the UK we only eat, on average, about half the amount of fibre that we should. It seems perfectly acceptable to discuss how many carbs or protein you are eating, and the latest diets, however talking about fibre is deemed to be much less acceptable.  The obvious link between fibre and bowel movements means that it is a bit of a taboo subject but did you know that it’s not just our bowels that are affected by our fibre intake?   A healthy intake of fibre has been associated with good...

Eat Up by Ruby Tandoh

Eat Up by Ruby Tandoh

It might seem strange that a nutritional adviser is reviewing a book about eating what you want, however I love the philosophy behind this book, and my recent post about how we get improved nutritional benefit from eating food we enjoy shows how much I believe in eating food we enjoy; food should not be the enemy. The days when we were hunter gatherers and food was for nutritional value only are long gone.  Our food choices are so vast and freely available we no longer need to eat what is...
