When we see every meal as an opportunity to build up our nutrition armour of defence. We spend more time understanding what we are putting in our bodies for it's good health.

We ask, is this food helping or harming me?

On the whole let's aim to cover ourselves with a healthy nutritional support system for immunity including :

🥚🐟 Good quality protein ✅

🍏🍠 Fresh fruit and vegetables ✅

🥛🧀 Low fat diary ✅

🌾🍚 Fibre ✅

We maintain the balance to avoid vulnerability to coughs, colds and any diseases.

As they say, an apple a day keeps the Doctor away 🍏💪🏽

THE PLANK POSE

⚡ A hard exercise ⚡

It takes a lot of determination at the beginning staying in correct hold.

The plank is designed to focus on tightening abdominal and back muscles.

How to :

1- Lay on the floor with the elbows under each shoulder. Forearms should be flat on the mat. Whilst engaging the abdominal muscles.

2- Keep forearms and knees on the mat.

3- Slowly lift the body upwards until the stomach muscles are parallel to the floor.

Both forearms and tip toes will be touching the mat.

4- Breathe as deeply as possible whilst holding this pose.

In MS, balance can deteriorate creating high risk of falling.
By maintaining abdominal muscle strength we can preserve balance.

When I do this I'm visualising my new 6 pack.

It’s on its way!

💪🏼🤩💯

Trust the process ✨✨

I like to select anti inflammatory recipes.

Avoiding inflammation will keep our internal organs as healthy as possible.

This soup is a good comforting choice.

Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, pumpkin is incredibly nutritious.

INGREDIENTS 🥣

- 1 medium pumpkin (approx. 1½kg)

- 1 tbsp olive oil

- ½ tsp ground cumin

- 1 tsp chili flakes

- 1 large onion, finely chopped

- 2 garlic cloves, crushed

- 1 litre vegetable stock

- 1 can coconut milk

- 1 lime, zested and juiced

- ½ small bunch of coriander, chopped (optional)

METHOD 🍽️

1- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan. Peel, deseed and chop the pumpkin into 3cm chunks. Arrange the pumpkin on a baking tray, drizzle over half the oil, scatter with the cumin and toss well. Season and roast for 30 mins.

2- Heat the remaining oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat. Fry the onion for 5 mins until soft, but, not golden. Add the ginger, garlic and chili flakes and fry for another minute.

3- Add vegan stock, coconut milk and roasted pumpkin to the pan, then bring to a gentle simmer.

4- Remove from the heat and blend the soup with a blender until smooth.

💡NB: If you prefer a thinner soup, add a cup of hot water to reach the required consistency.

5- Return the soup back to a gentle simmer. Then season well and stir in the lime juice.

Ladle into serving bowls topping with pumpkin seeds, coriander and salt and pepper as desired. Add a few slices of bread on the side.

So delicious !!

At this time of year traditionally house keepers would ensure there was enough food to last until springtime.

Today for convenience there is a grocery store or two on almost every single High Street.

It’s useful to know some of the old hacks on how to keep food fresher for longer.

It’s all important for our wellbeing knowing :

1- We are being sustainable
2- We are wasting as little food as possible

Here are a few everyday food hacks we like :

- SOFT CHEESE

Feta, gorgonzola and mozzarella can be preserved in a salt water solution.  Using an airtight container, completely submerge the cheese in the salt water solution. Cover with a snap shut lid and store in the fridge for up to 3 months.

- EGGS

Duck or hen eggs can be frozen by cracking them open individually into a silicone mould tray.
They can last for up to 1 year in the freezer.

- FLOUR

Tip a bag of flour and 3 -4 bay leaves into a glass jar.  This will prevent bugs from soiling the flour. When stored in a cool dry location it will last for 1 year.

- POTATO

Potato can be stored in a brown paper bag in a cool dark place. By adding a few whole apples to prevent them spouting. They can last up to 3 months.

- HONEY

Pure raw honey has been known to stay fresh for more than 100 years.  Longer than most humans! 

Again is must be stored in a cold dark space.

Every little helps!
