Making healthy choices can sometimes feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be hard ✨

BUILDING A BALANCED MEAL

Building a balanced meal is all about including the major food groups in different proportions on your plate and trying to include a variety of different foods.

We recommend you:
- Fill ¼ of your plate with a source of carbohydrate which can include wholegrains such as brown rice, wholemeal pasta or wholegrain bread or starchy veggies like potato.
-Fill 1/2 plate your plate with lots of different coloured vegetables

-Fill ¼ of your plate with a source of protein. Try lean meats, chicken, fish and eggs, or plant-based sources such as tofu and legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, or black beans.

-Add a portion of healthy fats. Healthy fats are found in foods like avocado, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, nuts and seeds.


A balance of foods containing protein, carbohydrate, fats, and fibre from vegetables makes for a nutrient packed meal giving you sustained energy and can help you feel fuller for longer.

Give yourself permission to rest ✨

From physical to spiritual - turns out rest extends way beyond bed time!

If the idea of fitting in 7 types of rest has got you feeling even more worn out you'll be happy to know that rest can be incorporated into you and your family's routine.

Maybe that looks like borrowing your kids' colouring-in book for some mindless creative rest or enjoying a walk outside for spiritual rest! 😴

Self-care means taking care of your basic needs every single day. When we start to feel down, stressed or burnt out, we often stop taking care of ourselves (not necessarily on purpose). So why not take today (or any day next week) to make the most of and practice one of these types of rest? 🥰
