Saturday morning and a spare 1/2 hr- seems like an ideal time to get on and bottle my gut-loving, microbiome-motivating, immune-supporting homemade kombucha. 🫙✨

Are you shopping healthier because of Body & Soul? 😏 😃 👍

Something interesting is happening in our supermarkets.
📈 NIQ reports that sales of fibre-based foods grew 14.1% in value over the 26 weeks to 24 January 2026, well ahead of the wider FMCG market. [nielseniq.com]

No, that doesn't mean we're eating 14.1% more fibre. But it certainly suggests fibre is attracting attention. It's getting so fashionable that M&S now lists “fibremaxxing” as one of its top five health food trends for 2026. [marksandspencer.com]

But here's the problem... Only around 4% of UK adults actually achieve the recommended 30g of fibre a day. [nutrition.org.uk], [nutrition.org.uk]
So there's still an enormous gap between wanting to eat better and actually doing it.

Fortunately, getting more fibre doesn't have to mean expensive new “health foods”:
🫘 Beans & lentils
🌾 Wholegrains & oats
🥦 Vegetables
🍎 Fruit
🥜 Nuts & seeds
These are among the naturally fibre-rich foods the British Nutrition Foundation encourages us to eat more of. [nutrition.org.uk], [nutrition.org.uk]

Perhaps fibre isn't the latest food trend after all🤔. Perhaps we're simply rediscovering genuinely good food.🫒🫑🫘

At Body & Soul, that's what interests us. Not the latest diet craze, but small, sustainable changes to what we eat and how we live, day in and day out.

Follow us and look out for our courses, retreats and events as we explore practical ways to improve our health, wellbeing and vitality for life.

Good news! Good health doesn’t always have to be complicated, expensive or time-consuming.

Small changes can make a surprisingly big difference. Here’s one I’ve been making for the past couple of months.

Now working from home, I found it far too easy to stumble straight into my workspace first thing in the morning and get on with the day.

No daylight. No movement. And no real separation between home life and work life.

Now, every morning before I start work, I go for a 10-minute walk.

It costs nothing and gives me:

☀️ Daylight at the beginning of the day to help kick-start my body clock and support better sleep.
🚶 10 minutes of light movement.
🧠 Time to think and mentally prepare for the day ahead.
👋 A little social interaction with the people I see along the way.
🏠 A clear transition from home life into work.

After a couple of months, I feel the return on that investment of just 10 minutes a day is well worth it. I come home feeling more awake, focused and ready to work.

Nothing dramatic. Free, easy and time-efficient. Just one small, achievable change that has become an enjoyable part of my routine.

And that’s exactly the kind of thing we explore at Body & Soul retreats and events: simple, practical ways we can support our health and wellbeing and build them into everyday life.

What a difference three and a half years makes! 🌱

When we started Body & Soul, relatively few people were talking about the gut microbiome or thinking seriously about the importance of gut health.

Today, walk down a supermarket aisle and you can see just how mainstream the conversation has become. Whole sections are now dedicated to gut health, natural and Greek yogurts and other products aimed at increasingly health-conscious shoppers.

And overall, we think that's great news. 🙌

At Body & Soul, we believe everyone should have the knowledge, confidence and access to make healthier food and lifestyle choices that can support energy, vitality and long-term health.

It also shows something important: when consumers demand better choices, the food industry responds.

But we should keep our eyes open too. Health trends create marketing opportunities, and a product carrying a fashionable “gut health” message isn't necessarily something we need to pay a premium for.

That's why at Body & Soul we're interested in facts, not fads. Our courses and advice focus on practical, achievable and scientifically informed lifestyle choices that people can sustain in the real world.

So we're delighted to see more genuinely nutritious foods taking their place in our supermarkets.

Healthy eating shouldn't be a fashion. It should be accessible to everyone. 💚

I feel so privileged to be fit and able enough to have completed my ‘fast’ 110km St Cuthberts way ‘pilgrimage’ today and raise some money for our upcoming church youth team mission trip to Albania in October. Take a look at my page for some photos - blockbuster video to be released soon.
