Caroline Robinson: Natural Health and Nutrition

If you’re not drinking enough water lately, you’re not alone.
It’s one of the easiest habits to let slide when life gets busy, but your body feels it.

Even mild dehydration can show up as headaches, brain fog, low energy, or feeling “snacky” when you’re actually just thirsty.

Water also supports digestion and regularity, and helps your body do its everyday jobs more smoothly.

A simple way to make it doable:

👉 Have a glass when you wake up
👉 Sip with each meal
👉 Keep a bottle where you can see it

You don’t need to be perfect, just consistent.
Have you had enough water today, or do you need a reminder?

3 MEALS PER DAY vs SNACKING OR GRAZING: What can be the benefits of eating 3 balanced meals per day that include whole foods such as protein, fibre (vegetables & fruit), good fats, without snacking?

They can include the following:
More stable insulin levels - insulin only falls after 3-5 hours for those who are overweight, so having gaps between eating can really help balance blood sugar and insulin levels, and therefore promote weight loss.
Constant snacking or grazing can lead to higher production of insulin which prevents fat breakdown.
Gives your digestive system time to actually digest and process your food properly which leads to a happier gut and no bloating
Reduced sugar cravings and balanced energy levels
More likely to eat nutritious foods and less likely to eat processed unhealthy foods.
Prevents mindless or boredom eating so you are less likely to overeat.

Can the right food really transform your health during menopause? This is a great podcast where Suzie shares her inspiring Metabolic Balance journey and the results she achieved. It explains how metabolic Balance works and how effective it is for menopausal symptoms and weight loss amongst other things.

At 51, Suzie was struggling with joint pain, hot flushes, fatigue, and brain fog even though she thought she was already eating healthy. After trying detoxes, general diet plans, and supplements, nothing worked long-term… until she discovered Metabolic Balance.

Here is the link to the YouTube video - i
