Are you feeling the end-of-year pressure? Take some time out to connect and recharge with ! Experience joyful connection with your child through a session that weaves together elements of play and storytelling, asana (poses) and mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, a dash of acro yoga, and each participant's own creative spirit. It is a truly wonderful way to escape the hustle and bustle of our busy modern lives!

But don' t just take my word for it 😉 After a recent workshop, I received a lovely email from a first time participant thanking me "for such a positive experience today. Such a well put together session where every member of our family gained something.
It was lovely to reconnect and have some laughs too. I think this is something all families should try." 🩷

The final two sessions are happening in just under two weeks:
Saturday, 22 November at Yogita Yoga
2pm and 3.15pm

Places are limited so reserve your spot today! All are welcome and no previous experience is required.

More than a dozen randomized controlled trials have been published on zinc lozenges for the common cold, and, overall, researchers have found that oral zinc, when taken within the first 24 hours of symptom onset, may be beneficial in reducing both duration and severity of the common cold. Zinc lozenges appear to shorten colds by about three days and significantly reduce nasal discharge, congestion, hoarseness, and cough.

What’s the best way to take zinc for the common cold? Lozenges containing around 10 to 15 milligrams of zinc taken every two waking hours for a few days, starting immediately upon symptom onset, as either zinc acetate or zinc gluconate without binders (such as citric acid, tartaric acid, glycine, sorbitol, or mannitol) may work best.

Supplementing with zinc long-term doesn't appear to reduce getting sick in the first place, though. We should instead focus on including healthy whole-food sources of zinc in our diet by eating foods such as legumes, nuts, and seeds.

One of my favourite gut support supplements. A great balance of ingredients to soothe, heal, protect and promote gut wellbeing. It tastes great in a little water but combines well in a smoothie too. A good time to start gut care as we head into allergy season 👍🏼

Considering what to pair with your green leafy vegetables? Add a green-light source of fat, such as nuts, seeds, nut or seed butters, or avocados. Not only will this add great flavor to your veggies, but it can help maximize your absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

When people ate a healthy salad of spinach, romaine, carrots, and tomatoes along with a source of fat from plants, they got an impressive spike in carotenoid phytonutrients in their bloodstream over the next eight hours. With a fat-free dressing, however, carotenoid absorption flatlined down to negligible amounts. It was as if they hadn’t eaten the salad at all.

Adding some avocado to your salsa may triple the amount of fat-soluble nutrients, such as the lycopene in tomatoes, that flood into your bloodstream.

It doesn't take much fat from plants to make a difference either. For example, just three grams of fat in a meal may be enough to boost absorption. That’s just a single walnut or a spoonful of avocado.

✅ Try these tasty, nutrient-boosting ideas:
Enjoy a creamy tahini-based dressing on your salad.
Blend walnuts into your pesto.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over your sautéed kale.

Dark green leafy vegetables are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. What’s the best way to prepare them? See the video “How to Cook Greens” at see.nf/cookedgreens to find out.
