N O V E M B E R 🍁
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these but I am feeling inspired this Autumn and more than ready to hunker down, eat hearty and warming food and look after my immune system before the bugs well and truly get to it… 🦠

If you’re feeling the same, I always suggest small, easy to implement tips that don’t take too much time or effort to incorporate into your day.
1. Morning walk 🚶 I always bang on about this in workshops and with clients. Getting out first thing, whatever the weather, for however long, is one of the best things you can do to start the day. It sets your internal clock (circadian rhythm) and can help with blood sugar balance (not to mention cardiovascular health, weight management, mental health etc)
2. It’s vitamin D time! We officially stopped being able make Vitamin d from the sun in October (look at your shadow and see if it is now longer than you) so it’s time for supplementation. DM me for recommendations but ideally you would be taking it with a meal including fat 🥑
3. Get your root veg, squash and leafy greens in. High in antioxidants, fibre, vitamins, minerals and general heartiness, they make great bases for soups, curries, stews and batch cooking 🎃🥬
4. As we approach darker days and silly season, screen time, social pressure and sedentary days can increase. Whilst I’ll be indulging and watching hallmark movies on the reg like the best of them, it can be a good idea to put some boundaries in place to keep a level of sanity and protect your body and mind over the next few months 🚫
5. Help your immune system fight off the inevitable winter germs that are coming our way. Vit C foods such as oranges and brussel sprouts and Vit A foods such as, sweet potato, and eggs support white blood cell production and function. Red meat, beans and nuts are sources of zinc which helps the body fight infection and beans, chicken and fish are high in B6 and B12 which play a role in T cell production. 🤧🍳
