and in control of their health.

So, what’s behind this rise of inflammation? It comes down to one major factor—our food! We’re loading up on foods that trigger inflammation and missing out on the ones that can actually calm it.

While some foods ramp up inflammation, others work wonders in fighting it. Plant-based foods are filled with over 25,000 phytochemicals. Many of these compounds have serious anti-inflammatory benefits, especially those, colourful fruits and veggies packed with polyphenols.

Then there’s extra virgin olive oil—a kitchen staple that contains oleocanthal, which activates anti-inflammatory pathways just like ibuprofen does—minus the side effects.

And don’t forget about spices!
Turmeric
Ginger
Rosemary

Cooking with these herbs and spices can help balance inflammation, especially when paired with omega-3 rich foods like wild-caught fish, seafood, and certain nuts and seeds.

To top it off, foods rich in essential nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, selenium, and vitamin D add an extra layer of anti-inflammatory support.

Here are a few examples to get you started:
- Oranges, kiwis and capsicums for vitamin C
- Hemp seeds, greek yogurt and oysters for zinc
- Brazil nuts, seafood, and egg yolks for selenium
- Fatty fish for vitamin D

My top recommendation is to cut down on foods that fuel inflammation, and fill your plate with ones that combat it! ...

`Eliminate carbs for good health` `Remove carbs to balance blood sugar.`
With headlines like this I understand why people become wary of eating grains.
You can and absolutely should eat grains. It`s the `refined` grains you want to reduce, ie flour, white rice, pasta, common crackers, tortillas, common breakfast cereals.

My take on it:
Unless you have an autoimmune condition and are sensitive to grains (which can mainly be due to cross-contamination to gluten), then they are packed with benefits to support gut health, hormones, cholesterol levels and a healthy heart. ❤️✨!

Here’s the scoop:
✔️ Whole grains are packed with fibre and key nutrients that keeps cholesterol in check. 🫀 Yes -- they can help lower your cholesterol levels! Sometimes simply not eating enough fibre in your diet is the reason for high cholesterol levels.
✔️ They’re a low GI energy source that keeps blood sugar balanced (bye, sugar spikes!) and inflammation low. 💪
✔️ They’re loaded with essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins that can often be missed if they`re entirely removed.
✔️ They`re packed with fiber that help bulk up stools and keep you regular.
The type of grains you choose does matter though, and it is important to pair them with healthy fats and protein.

Here`s some of my favourite ways to eat whole grains:
- Steel cut oats with nuts + seeds for breakfast
- Wholegrain Sourdough with eggs or savoury topping
- Quinoa in salads full of lean protein, avocado and olive oil
- Buckwheat, barley, brown rice are also super healthy and delicious!

If you know me, you know I have a massive sweet tooth! Telling me to `just eat an apple` when craving sugar and I`ll want to throw it at you! Buuuut give me a healthy swap anyday! From a hot choc protein shake to this delicious healthy-ish mousse, this is how I have slowly tammed my sugar monster. Add fresh berries for more antioxidants. This one`s super easy and tastes delish especially if you`re an ice-cream lover like me!

Also a great one for sporty kids who need a quick post sport recovery snack.
Good source of calcium and protein.
