All delicious! Can't make up my mind 😉 xx

Do you know an 80 or 90 something year old who still cooks, drives.. reads, dances ….and just throughly enjoys life? ⁣

Unfortunately in the 21st century this isn’t the norm but more an anomaly. ⁣

One thing in life is inevitable. You will age.⁣

There are places in the world called Blue Zones where people live the longest and healthiest. ⁣

What the people in these areas eat and how the live gives us big clues on how to be awesome as you age. ⁣

Here are 10 foods that support healthy ageing.⁣

Hormoans….. you really feel them your PMS week right? Don’t worry – we know. ⁣

Your body is needing more TLC the week before you menstruate so it’s important to get the right nutrients in.⁣

Top nutrients this week to support the hormones and inflammatory state your body is in the PMS week include: ⁣

🍞 Wholegrain carbohydrates – rich in fibre and a good source of B vitamins.⁣

🐟 Omega-3’s – important to keep the inflammatory prostaglandins in check.⁣

🫙 Fermented foods – Support bacteria in your gut – the foundation of healthy hormone balance.⁣

🌿 Anti-inflammatory phytochemicals found in herbs and spices helps ease the pain of those cramps. ⁣

🍫 Magnesium rich foods – your body has an increased requirement this week. Hello dark chocolate!⁣

We have put together some breakfasts incorporating these top foods for you!⁣

🧡 Let us know below which is your favourite!⁣

1. Kefir overnight oats topped with berries and some dark chocolate⁣
2. Turmeric scrambled tofu on seeded toast (recipe on the grid!) ⁣

The reality is THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD FOOD. Too much of anything, even if it's a good thing can become bad in a hurry. ⁣

⚖️ It's all about balance. It may not sound as sexy as the “food rules” or fads that you may be following, but I promise you it is the cornerstone of good nutrition for the now and in the future. AND it is also most definitely the pleasurable way to eat!⁣

🍰 If you eat in balance the majority of the time ( 70-80 %) then some of your favorite treats like, cake or pizza or chips can absolutely be part of your diet. That’s why I’m a dietitian who loves to have her chips, chunky and triple fried!⁣

❓If you have specific health goals then balance or moderation may be different for you. Speak to a dietitian or registered nutrition for more information. ⁣

You know the drill. Some days, exercising feels like a total walk in the park. Other days, it feels like you’re trying to climb up a hefty mountain, barefoot with the mother of all storms blowing in your face. ⁣

The truth of the matter is that your body changes as a women over the course of your menstrual cycle and over the years — The key is to know you and to learn to adapt your training and nutrition to suit it.⁣

Ohhhh carbs. ⁣

Personally my fave food group. ⁣

Professionally the food group that I have to do the most myth busting. ⁣

As women most of us like them ( …and crave them more at certain times of the month!) yet we are petrified of them as we are sold that low carb narrative in mainstream media. ⁣

Yes of course too many carbs ( ..or of anything for that matter ain’t a good thing). However the key particularly if you are a woman who is still in your reproductive years it is important that you do include some in your diet for optimal wellbeing. As with anything in nutrition, quality is key. If you want bespoke advice about quantities - speak to a dietitian or registered nutrition. ⁣

Happy carb including ladies.⁣
