Find you have a sluggish digestive system?

Lemon juice in warm water upon rising stimulates your digestive juices to give you a helping hand breaking down your brekkie ๐Ÿ™Œ

If you want to add a real kick and metabolism boost, add some sliced fresh ginger and/or a pinch of cayenne pepper, now you're talking! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

With everything, I always recommend starting slow and this is definitely applicable here. Word of warning for those sensitive bellies, I would advise sticking with the lemon and ginger if you like it, you can even add a tiny dash of raw or manuka honey if needed. You will probably find once you are used to the taste you won't need the honey anymore ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

FATS THAT HEAL - Essential fatty acids (EFAs)

The human brain is nearly 60% fat and fatty acids are one of the most crucial molecules that determine our brain's structure and function, as well as carrying out many other vital roles in the body๐Ÿ™Œ

However, not all fats are equal. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fatty acids that our body cannot make and therefore we need to ensure we get plenty through our diet.

The 2 EFAs are omega-3 & omega-6, with omega-3 often being what people need to INCREASE, as omega-6 is found in many more frequently consumed foods.

How do EFAs support our health...
โœจBrain & cognitive function
โœจNervous system (anxiety and stress response)
โœจCardiovascular health
โœจHormonal production, function & balance (incl. reproductive)
โœจSkin radiance & texture

BALANCE between our omega-3 and 6 foods is key, as excess of omega-6 can play an inflammatory role in the body. However, I like to focus on consuming MORE omega-3 foods, than restricting healthy omega-6 foods.

Many many years ago I sold into the fear that โ€˜fat makes you fatโ€™ but like many fears, it was unfounded and oh how wrong I was!

I experiencedโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ˜• Poor brain function
๐Ÿ˜• Mood swings & irritability (esp. around that time of the month)
๐Ÿ˜• Low energy
๐Ÿ˜• Joint pain
๐Ÿ˜• Dry skin & breakouts
๐Ÿ˜• Imbalanced blood sugar levels, causing sugar cravings

As the saying goes, I learnt from my mistakes (the hard way) and when I studied Nutritional Medicine and discovered the facts, my diet soon got flipped on its head, from lack to abundance of monounsaturated and essential fatty acids ๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŸ

The effect on my health isโ€ฆ

๐Ÿ˜€ Improved cognitive function
๐Ÿ˜€ Stable happy mood & mindset
๐Ÿ˜€ Increased & stable energy
๐Ÿ˜€ No joint pain
๐Ÿ˜€ Clear skin
๐Ÿ˜€ Balanced blood sugar levels

Foods to focus on โฌ†๏ธ โฌ†๏ธ are fish, especially cold-water fish e.g.salmon, mackerel, tuna (in moderation), herring & sardines, flaxseed (a good source especially for non-meat eaters), chia seeds & walnuts.

Healthy fats are a crucial part of a balanced diet to create a strong body & mind so make good friends with these guys to keep you smiling from the inside out ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
