Feeding our MOJO
Nutrients, hydration and treats.
Fresh is best, no doubt about that, the fresher food is the more vitamins and minerals are available for our bodies.
We need these for all our bodily functions, from gut health to reproduction, aging, brain health, reducing wrinkles etc etc.
Refined sugar can literallly reverse the benefits of vitamins and minerals as it eats away at structures, overloads our blood stream and saturates hormones. Sugar aka glucose comes in many natural forms…
- grains
- legumes
- fruit
- vege
Adding more sugar especially first thing in the morning and on an empty stomach can cause sugar spikes and glucose crashes, making us irritable, angry, drowsy and energy levels fall away.
Line your gut with some fibre first, ie:
- carrot, celery, cauliflower sticks
- hommus & whole grain pita wedges
Keep hydrated,
- water
- water with herbs
- diluted juice
- herbal teas
Great for clearing mental fog, muscle strength, movement, flexibly and repair.
Skin, hair, nail health. Digestion and absorption, even heart health!
Grab yourself a multi vitamin, speak to your local health store staff for advice on what brand will work best for you.
If you detail what your symptoms are they will be better able to provide feedback with the most beneficial supplement for your requirements.
Some of the top beneficial vitamins and minerals for perimenopause, menopause, andropause health are:
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B’s
- Iron
- Magnesium
- Zinc
- Selenium (3 Brazil nuts per day, generally has this one covered).
Enjoy your treats, keep them in moderation and share them.
They say that when you feel happy while eating (rather than guilty pleasure) your body more readily absorbs the benefits, physically as well as mentally… 🤩
Ps (please excuse the burn hole in my beanie, a different mind if hot flash caused that; playing with fire poi 😆)
