Folate and why we need it.
I’ll share more on methylation in my next post.

22/08/2023

There are a number of nutrients that assist with fertility as well as a healthy pregnancy.
Below are a few👇

1. Folate: assists with methylation - an important process in the body responsible for many functions including DNA copying. It also helps prevent neural tube defects in babies.
2. Vitamin B12 - also important to methylation and has shown to reduce risks for recurrent pregnancy loss. Also good for men’s s***m motility.
3. Iodine - supports normal thyroid function which is important for baby’s brain and nervous system. Check those thyroid levels.
4. Iron - your iron needs increase during pregnancy, we need iron to make more blood to supply oxygen to baby. Ensure your iron levels are normal whilst trying to fall pregnant.
5. Vitamin D - Vitamin D deficiency has been strongly linked to PCOS. Test those levels for necessary supplementation.
6. Antioxidants - protect the body against oxidative stress which if left untreated can do damage to cells in the body. Men also benefit from antioxidant intake.
7. Inositol - can enhance ovarian function, improve egg quality and assist with symptoms related to PCOS.
8. Essential fatty acids - assist with inflammation, helps with baby brain development, maintains brain health for mom and can also help men improve s***m count and improve motility.

Recipe to try!
I added salmon for extra protein and those healthy fats.
I love to add more veggies where I can so added in baby spinach and baby marrows.
I had left over edamame beans so threw those in there too.
My husband didn’t like the beetroot chips 😆 so I left those off.

Hi 👋

I have been wanting to post more content on here for a while now and have so many topics I’d like to share but it’s always been so daunting to post the perfect video or create the best content that is entertaining, factually correct and helpful.

So that being said I will be posting videos but they won’t always be perfect. It might be while I’m having a coffee, it might be during a cook or maybe while I’m walking my dogs, it won’t be perfect but it will be more me and more of me chatting to you.
🧡
Some fun facts about me:
I live in Cape Town now.
I have 2 cats and 2 dogs - I am that annoying animal person.
Wine enthusiast (wish I could say I was a connoisseur)
Things that make me happy:
Hubby 😍
The outdoors
Animals
Eating out
Wine farms
The forest

It’s Monday and I was planning for the week.
I have had a few people judge that I don’t plan, shop and make incredible, luxurious, recipes every night, I’m a dietitian after all, so it’s expected right?
Wrong.
As much as I love cooking I hate planning so for me personally I’ve found easier ways to still have nutritious, delicious meals.

Those who know me well know I can’t go without Ucook. It’s super easy for me, there’s minimal wastage and I love the meals. Because it’s pre packed for the week there aren’t always a lot of veggies so I do that shopping separately.

Check out my stories for my weekly shop.

How do you plan your weekly meal?

To recap… If you are run down or even often sick, check your oral health. 🦷🦷🦷 your oral health is directly linked to systemic health and your immune system and vica versa.

One for the books 🤩
This is my take on a burrito bowl thingy.
Ingredients:
Whole grain woolies chips
Baby spinach
Baby tomatoes
Chargrilled corn
The Woolworths shredded mixed cabbage and beetroot.
Salsa
Low fat cream cheese
Protein of choice: chicken breast, extra lean mince, beans, chickpeas or even some edamames.
I added a squeeze of lime over with seasoning and there you have it.

Love a salad bar.
How to build a salad:
Base: leaves, I like using baby spinach for added nutrients.
Veggies: aim for some nice colour variety. I opted for peppers, baby marrows grilled, tomato.
Fat: I added this beautiful soft Greek feta and a mixture of seeds which are also packed with fibre.
Protein: you can go with a chicken, beef, tuna, chickpeas, lentils, beans.
Dressing: balsamic and olive oil is always a win or even a lemon juice and olive oil, rice wine vinegar and olive oil works well too.

This was made from the salad bar at Thrupps but it’s actually super simple to make at home. 🥗🥗🥗

Anti anxiety food sources.
Most foods that assist with anxiety and mood regulation are antioxidants which prevent oxidative stress or are anti inflammatory which prevent inflammation of our brain neurotransmitters.

Some foods like kombucha, yoghurt, kefir, kimchi to name a few assist with gut health as the gut is responsible for up to 90% of serotonin production.

If you are feeling anxious try include more of these food sources in your diet this week.

Other food sources:
Chamomile or green tea.
Dark green leafy veg.
Chia seeds.
Vitamin D.
