Part of the confusion with nutrition is the overload of information, advice, meal plans, products and superfoods that are offered as ‘the answer’ every day. In this section, I will share the gems I have used and continue to use. They are a mix of books, recipe collections, seminars, foods, ingredients, supplements and kitchen kit.

I was chatting to a friend the other day. We got on to talking about the wisdom and experience that age has bought us. Then she said “it is just a shame I keep forgetting things and don’t have the energy I used to … but that’s just the way it is” and laughed. ❓Is a drop in energy and increase in forgetfulness the norm? Do you agree? Because I certainly don’t agree. My vision is a world where we maintain, even grow, our cognitive power and the way our body functions so that we can reap the benefits of that wisdom and experience.With that crystallised in my mind, it has helped me to focus on the new things I have on the horizon 📆 A new format for my highly popular and successful Food for Thought programme – to make it more accessible to more of you🎤 A new FREE masterclass – to tackle some of the challenges people tell me they face👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 A new Food for Thought community with access to a private Facebook group and monthly drop in classes🎙 A new podcast - looking at ageing from a new angleI will be talking about these on here but for more detail and for priority access sign up to my newsletter (link in bio👆).

Why are fermented foods and drinks so beneficial? Fermented foods and drinks act like probiotics. The word probiotic means “for life” and is generally associated with good bacteria. They help to feed our microbiome which is important for overall health as well as specifically brain health through the gut-brain axis.When foods are fermented certain properties change which are beneficial to us, including:✨Higher anti-oxidative properties✨Higher anti-inflammatory properties✨Higher vitamin content (folate, B2, K)✨Higher bioactive peptides (which may directly influence gut-brain axis)✨Fewer anti-nutrientsI have plenty of exciting things planned this month including - an IG LIVE with a fermenting guru; - HOW-TO VIDEOS to ferment kimchi and sauerkraut; and - sharing the RESULTS of an exciting project I have been undertaking on the impact of plant based diets on the microbiome.Subscribe to my newsletter to receive my weekly emails covering these topics in more detail. Any questions? Pop them in the comments👇below or send me a DM and I look forward to chatting with you about all things fermented!#nutritionmatters #personalnutrition #foodmatters #feedyourmind #feedyourbody #foodforthought #nutritionprogramme #futureproofyourbrain #nutritioneducation #nutritionmadesimple ...

Now that the rule of six is back in play and we are dusting off the barbecue for our al fresco get togethers I wanted to share one of my favourite salad recipes. The recipe is from Ottolenghi’s Jerusalem book which I love. I have made a few ‘adaptations’ for you to try.To make this a complete meal it will need a good protein source. I served it with salmon but it would be delicious with halloumi, sautéed tofu, eggs or a meat dish and is perfect with a barbecue.Baby Spinach Salad with Dates and Almonds | @ottolenghi Ingredients:1 tbsp white wine vinegar1/2 medium red onion80g pitted Medjool dates, quartered lengthways (the original recipe uses 100g but I reduce down a little bit)4 tbsp olive oil (the original recipe says 2 tbsp olive oil and 30g butter, but I prefer to just use the olive oil)1 to 2 small pittas, torn in pieces or ripped up slightly stale sourdough would also work.75g whole almonds (you can mix up the nuts for a bit of variety)2 tsp sumac 1/2 tsp chilli flakes150g spinach leaves2 tbsp lemon juiceSaltMethod:1. Slice red onion thinly and mix with the dates and vinegar in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, mix well and marinate for at least 20 mins. Drain the excess vinegar before adding the onion and dates into the salad.2. Heat half the olive oil in a pan. Add the pitta (or other bread) and almonds and cook at medium heat for 4-6 mins until bread is golden brown and crunchy. Remove from heat and add chilli flakes, sumac and 1/4 tsp of saltLeave aside to cool.3. When you are ready to serve, wash and dry spinach leaves. Best to dry them in a salad spinner or a tea towel if you don't have one. If the leaves are wet the dressing won't coat the leaves. Add leaves to a large bowl, mix through the drained onion & dates and pitta bread mix. Add remaining olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.4. Add to your protein and enjoy!Don’t forget to SAVE this for when when you need inspiration. 📷 @chopsticksmeetfork ____________________#ottolenghijerusalem #yotamottolenghi #seasonalsalad #alfrescoentertaining #barbecuetime #spinachsalad #saladinspo #saladrecipes #myfavouritesalad #nutritionmadesimple ...

Salads are always ‘healthy’ aren’t they? Yes. And no. Let me explain….For a meal to be healthy it needs to give your body and brain what it needs. The fuel, the resources and the information for your body and brain to get to work.Often the salads we eat aren’t necessarily providing what we need resulting in lack of energy, focus and concentration. Follow my 3 simple tips to ensure your salad is doing its best for you:1. Build your salad on my build a plate idea with:50% vegetables or whole fruits (erring more towards the veggies),25% protein (fish, tofu, halloumi or chicken)25% starchy carbohydrate (root type vegetables like roasted sweet potato or beetroot, cooked rice, quinoa or bread etc).2. Pimp your dressings Dressings are a brilliant way to add in some diversity and colour with herbs and spices as well as providing the good fats.Swipe ▶️ to see my 3 delicious easy recipes for turmeric, pomegranate and pesto dressings. 3. Add nuts and seedsThese provide (more) good fats, a little protein, plus an array of bioactives (vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients).I like to dry roast them first in a dry frying pan (no oil) but raw is also fine.These tips also add texture, mouth-feel and flavour to your salad. A win-win!SAVE this post for your next salad, SHARE to your story if it has been helpful and COMMENT below👇with your salad secrets. I’d love to hear them.___________________#saladdressingrecipe #saladdressings #saladrecipes #balancedplate #balancedplatenutrition #nutritiontipoftheday #nutritionmatters #personalnutrition #foodmatters #feedyourmind #feedyourbody #feedyourbrain ...
