Supportive Nutrition

My son is nearly 13, sport mad and has had a massive growth spurt and it is so important for me to support his mental and physical health at this momentous time. So yet again it is about Protein! I am so thrilled that he has a real interest in health and Nutrition and we are finally off the Rice Krispies (I know! Don't judge!) and one thing he loves is Greek yoghurt, mixed with a fruit puree (frozen berries) and some protein powder. We use Fage Greek Yoghurt,0% fat as it has the highest protein levels. He loves it and I know he is getting a good breakfast protein intake.

FAGE Total 0% Definitely rich and creamy, but surprisingly fat-free.

I love Peace Lilies and have them dotted around the house. Not only do they look fab, and are easy to care for (essential!) they also may have air purifying properties.

So it’s a win win, pretty, easy to care for and beneficial for health!

One thing you will hear most Nutritional Therapists bang on about is the importance of eating good quality protein. As I am now 50 and going through the perimenopause, I am noticing more and more that my hair and nails texture and quality is changing. One reason could be not enough protein. We should be eating a small fistful of protein at each meal.

Now, that is not always possible. Sometimes I am not hungry at breakfast and then too busy with work to eat mid morning. For those days I really rely on this product.

Plant based, no artificial colours or flavourings. And I know I am getting 25g of protein per serving. It also helps cut down on any sugar or carb cravings which is a bonus.

Vitamin D supplementation

Essential for healthy teeth, bones and muscles.

Advice for adults and children over 4 years old

During the autumn and winter, you need to get vitamin D from your diet because the sun is not strong enough for the body to make vitamin D.

But since it's difficult for people to get enough vitamin D from food alone, everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D during the autumn and winter. NHS.
