Vitamin E is often over looked when considering a healthy diet. It is essential for vision, fighting off diseases, and the health of the blood, brain and skin.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant which helps protect cell membranes from damage by free radicals.

This is why…..

Every individual is unique, and there is no one size fits all package when it comes to health and nutrition. Lifestyle, genetics, medical history, age, gut health and many other factors affect an individual’s metabolism, nutrient absorption and therefore overall health.

For a personalised, therapeutic nutrition and lifestyle plan, that is realistic, achievable and sustainable, contact Simple Balance to arrange a consultation.

Generally the recommendation is that we should all be trying to eat more plants, because they provide essential nutrients, fibre, and antioxidants that support good health and lower the risk of disease.

However, plant based foods are not automatically better. Many are highly processed and contain added sugar, excess sodium, or unhealthy fats, and poorly planned diets can lack key nutrients like vitamin B12, iron or complete proteins.

So while eating more plants may be beneficial, the overall quality and balance of a diet is what is most important. 🌱

This was one of the dishes I served at the HER Cumbria retreat last weekend. The sweet potato bake was served as part of a gluten free menu, alongside some delicious salads and and italian chicken (recipes will follow)

Sweet potato’s are rich in fibre which supports gut health, they have a lower glycemic index which can help support blood sugar balance, and they are loaded with antioxidants and packed with nutrients including vitamin A, C, B6 and potassium.

January often comes with a wave of pressure to overhaul our health and nutrition habits overnight. We set huge goals with the best intentions, but the reality is that many of them are unrealistic, overwhelming, and nearly impossible to maintain beyond the first few weeks.

The truth is, January might not be the best time to pile on expectations. We’re coming out of a busy, emotional holiday season, navigating darker days, colder weather, and general need for a rest- not sprint into a complete lifestyle transformation.

If your January goals did not go as planned, that does not mean you have failed. It means you’re human. Sustainable change is not tied to a date on the calendar; it starts when you are ready, with goals that support your life- not fight against it. Be kind to yourself and begin again in a way that feels achievable.

Instead of drastic overhauls, try small gentle shifts that fit your life. Increasing your water intake, adding an extra serving of veggies to a meal, or planning a couple of balanced dinners each week can create meaningful progress without pressure.
