At this time of year many people can find themselves feeling low - the lull after Christmas, financial worries kicking in and feeling lonely as valentine's day approaches can all take their toll. When these feelings happen they can seem overwhelming but here's the great part - Little things make big differences, don't underestimate this. So if you are feeling low a good place to start is with the food you eat.
- Ensure you avoid ALL artificial sweeteners
- Limit the amount of chicken and eggs you consume to no more than once a week as they contain arachidonic acid (shown in studies to increase the risk of depressive episodes)
- Increase Whole-grain, tomato and seed (sesame, sunflower, pumpkin) consumption

Also - don't forget about fresh air and sunlight. If you don't have the energy or motivation to go for a walk just sit in the garden or with the window open and breathe in the fresh air. These may all seem trivial but consistently doing small positive things can help.

Most importantly - if you are feeling isolated and too overwhelmed visit mind.org.uk for information and to be able to talk to someone who can help.

Top 3 tips for a healthier you in the run up to Christmas:

1. Don't be tempted by too much alcohol at the office party! - Alternate alcoholic drinks with soft drinks or volunteer to be the designated driver - your liver (and your purse!) will thank you!!!

2. Ensure you get out and about in the fresh air regularly - Acquiring the right amount of vitamin D can be difficult in the autumn/winter months which can have a knock on effect to calcium intake which we need to regular blood pressure, wound healing, muscle function and many other essential processes.

3. If you suffer from greasy or acne prone skin reduce your dairy intake. Diary has been linked to an increase of a substance called IFG1 which promotes inflammation. Less inflammation in the skin results in a more glowing complexion and the need for less makeup to cover 'imperfections'

Suffering from frequent headaches?
Tired of wasting days in bed with migraines?
Medication not working?

If the answer is 'Yes' to any of these questions have you ever thought that it could be what you are eating - or what you are not eating that may be contributing to your symptoms?
Many people are aware that some foods can trigger headaches/migraine eg dark chocolate, tomatoes and red wine but there can be so much more. Even vitamin and mineral deficiencies can contribute to symptoms. If you are consuming trigger foods and/or are deficient in vitamins/minerals medication will not solve the problem. Come and have a consultation with me to get to the crux of the problem and take control of your health. Feel free to message me for more information or visit my website at true-nutrition.co.uk

Need more energy?
Free radical damage caused by regular consumption of processed foods, alcohol, smoking and even stress can reduce energy levels. Try regularly adding ginger or turmeric to your cooking or use cold green tea as a smoothie base - evidence shows that these ingredients can reduce damage created by free radicals. Take control - happy munching!!
