Saw this the other day, wow, Eggs are a real powerhouse of goodness aren’t they. I love them poached , scrambled, a cheeky fried one occasionally (using olive oil) & an Egg sandwich, not with the usual Cress, I prefer Rocket, aka Arugula, which in itself is very beneficial health wise.

REDUCING SUGAR
There is so much talk about using or in fact never using sugar these days, to reduce inflammation in the body. I don’t have a particularly “sweet tooth” so I’m not a fanatic or have sugar cravings but, I do enjoy my home made gluten free goodies every now & then ! I’m definitely making more & more of my own treats, that way I know exactly what’s in them.

So I always reduce the amount of sugar in recipes, does anyone else do that ? I’ve found that most things are just as nice to eat, & if sugar is the cause of body inflammation any reduction must be helpful. Plus I do follow the advice from the Glucose Goddess (the book I posted about previously) about having some Authentic Greek yoghurt (protein) on things like muffins to lessen the glucose spike.

You can’t beat a warm drink on a “Nippy Day”
And it’s nice to have something different for a change from Tea or Coffee ! I like to try different “herbal” teas, & this is one of my favourites.

WATER FLAVOURING

I’m sure we have all been encouraged to drink more water at some time, & given the fact that adults are approximately 60% water it’s sound advice isn’t it.
Having said that I’ve always found water to be a bit boring ☹️ so, I like to “jazz it up” a bit & the following additions have their own benefits too.
Jug of Water with slices of Lemon bring extra Vitamin C which can help with Iron absorption. It can also support Liver function, & aid digestion.
Jug of Water with Mint Leaves can help improve digestion, help relieve IBS symptoms, & freshen the breath.
Jug of Water with slices of Cucumber will promote further hydration, aid digestion, & provide Vitamins K & C, Calcium & Magnesium, it may help lower blood sugar.
I particularly like the Mint with the Cucumber.
What’s not to appreciate 😃

I got used to using an Infrared heat lamp decades ago, my Mum swore by it for easing muscle aches & spasms.
Having literally had my back cut in half back in 1986, & a steel rod wired to my spine, my back muscles do react to cold weather rather badly, particularly my left side. The only thing that really helps is heat, so I’ve had my own lamp for years, sadly it decided recently it had had enough of me, & refused to work !
So let me tell you about this new one, goodness me, it has a timer & different heat settings & you can tilt the “head” too. I feel thoroughly spoilt😁 I got mine from Superdrug for £40, & feel it’s worth every penny. I also use it when I’ve been gardening, my lower back just loves to have a moan, so the lamp helps with that.
And of course this means that I don’t have to resort to pain killer tablets to get relief !

I’ve been using a Facial Sauna for well over 20 years, although, not as an aid for my skin !
You know how sometimes you get what I call a “stuffy head” headache, generally first thing in the morning for me, well this little gadget is what I find helpful. You can just steam your face for a few minutes,but I like to add a tiny amount of Menthol to the water,that really makes a difference.
Also, at the first sign of a cold, cough etc, it’s my first action, get the sauna out, I find it brings relief straightaway. Have to admit I don’t often get colds etc, as my priority is to help my immune system to be strong.
I got this Sauna from Lidl a few years ago, & I get the menthol crystals from Amazon. 😁

Over the years I’ve become more aware of the connection between “Gut, Brain & Immune system “ and how very important it is to nutritionally support all three. Many of us can’t get all of our nutritional intake from food, maybe that’s due to allergies, intolerances, food choices, but drinking a daily shot of Aloe Vera can help by providing a perfect balance of vitamins including Vitamin C, & minerals to help support the body. As you can see there are 4 flavours.
The following is the description from Forever’s website, but if you’d like to know more, please just ask me 😀

“Aloe vera supports gastrointestinal health, digestion and immunity, and promotes health and wellbeing. This nutrient-rich and purifying drink now contains vitamin C which contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Our aloe vera is cultivated on fertile soils in a climate that enjoys over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, and it’s even been certified by the International Aloe Science Council for its purity. This drinking gel is as close to the real thing as you can get, boasting 99.7% inner leaf aloe gel, lovingly extracted by hand so that you can experience the true power of nature. Aloe is great for skin, the immune system and it’s an ideal digestive aid, and now this purifying gel also contains vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.”
