Navigating Nutritional Wellness: Considerations for February (part two)

Last week we looked at some ways to kickstart ourselves into a healthier version of ourselves.  This week we are following on from that with a few more simple ideas you can add into your routine.
 
1. Mindful Eating: Connect with Your Plate
   Practice mindful eating to foster a deeper connection with your food, it’s not as hippy as it sounds. Pay attention to portion sizes, savour flavours, and listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues. Mindful eating can contribute to better digestion and a more balanced relationship with food.

2. Immune Support: Fortify Your Defences
   Continue to prioritize immune-support with nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants. Incorporate a variety of colourful fruits and vegetables into your meals to ensure a wide range of nutrients that contribute to immune resilience.

3. Culinary Creativity: Spice Up Your Meals
   Experiment with warming spices like ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon to add depth and flavour to your dishes. These spices not only enhance the taste but also offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.  Try out food from another continent at least once a week.

4. Nutrient Timing: Support Your Daily Rhythms
   Consider the timing of your meals to align with your daily rhythms. Aim for balanced meals and snacks to maintain steady energy levels throughout the day. Pay attention to how different foods affect your energy and mood.  For me, I can’t eat late in the evening, it will affect my sleep. and wheat and dairy really affect my energy and digestion in a very negative way. 
 
As always these are ideas for you to use as you will, decide what will work for you and fit into your life.  All will help but it’s about what you can manage.  Even if you start with one and add the next in when you are ready, you will still eventually reach your goals.
