Did you know that studies have shown that even mild dehydration impairs concentration, memory and mood? Imagine having one thing that could help you focus more, remember things, lift your mood – and takes less than 20 seconds to consume?

Take a drink!

We are mostly made of water – average is about 60% - and the brain has high levels, so ensuring that we all drink enough is key. For adolescents, it is especially important – they are growing, forming muscles, building hormones, exercising – all of these processes require hydration, and remembering to drink enough is key.

How many drinks? Aim for 6-8 glasses, at least 1.5 litres – tea, herbal teas, cold water, sparkling, flavoured with orange or frozen fruits – just take a drink. Regularly.

Our brains run almost exclusively on glucose, so fuelling them first thing is vital, especially for work and study. For teens sitting exams, complex carbohydrates are key, so they a) have enough energy for brain power first thing and b) don't have a crash mid-exam.....!

Some recipe inspiration here (I have boys with different tastes!)
- baked oats (source of energy) with seeds (health fats), frozen berries (micronutrients and fibre), eggs and yoghurt (protein), made teen-proof with some maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. Batch-cooked so they can heat and eat in the morning
- overnight oats - a similar recipe as above, but with grated apple and chia seeds, yoghurt and honey. Made in advance for ease.

I've had some new 5 star reviews this week, which is lovely😊 And helps me answer a question I am sometimes asked..... How do you get people to change how they feel through food?

The answers:

👩🏼‍🎓 Evidence-based - I read what the nutrition studies show for your condition - no guessing, no fads.

❤️‍🩹 Personalised - everyone is different, from age, gender, family history, medical history, current conditions, medications (that may or may not cause nutrient depletions), exercise levels, sleep quality - we all need different things, and what works for one person may not work for another.

🗒️ Practical - I tailor the programmes and plans to you. Can't cook? I can help with that. Cooking for just yourself, or a large family? We'll work out how to incorporate your plans into your lifestyle.

👀 Accountability - I support you through the changes. Some people want to be kept on track. Some people need gentle motivation and encouragement. All want to change how they feel

😋 Delicious inspiration! Food is to be enjoyed - it should not be a penalty to work with me - instead, lets discover how you can change how you feel and enjoy the process.

Or just read what people say about working with me, take the first step and have a chat - I'd love to speak with you. Link in bio to book a FREE 30 minute session.
