How to eat well in winter

It's hard to get going on these cold wintry mornings, so start your day with a nourishing breakfast that will make you feel less sluggish and tired.
Helen O'Donnell, presenter for the Weight To Go diet food company, said our parents have been right all along: breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, and what's more, eating it could even help you shed a few post-Christmas pounds.
"Some experts believe that those who eat breakfast are more likely to make good dietary choices throughout the day," she noted. "Eating high fibre and slow release foods such as porridge or muesli helps to keep you feeling full until lunch and stops you from snacking on sugary treats."
If you start getting peckish at around mid-morning, don't be tempted by the snack dispenser in reception. Instead, keep a bowl of fruit to hand and make it as easy as possible for yourself to snack healthily, by choosing fruit that's not too messy to eat.
"A handful of dried apricots, raisins, nuts or carrot batons are also a good idea," mentioned Helen.
Still not convinced about the healthy living thing? How about this: eating lots of fruit can boost your detox - so if you're feeling a bit guilty about falling off the wagon so soon after New Year's, just stock up on fresh produce.
Cranberries, lemons, oranges and limes are fantastic foods for flushing out toxins and help clean out the digestive system, which should cut out that bloated feeling. They're also packed full of vitamin C, which is one of the best detox tools available to you. Next time you're doing a tea round in the office, try waking yourself up with a cup of warm water and lemon and you should start feeling the benefits within a few days.

- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021Hello :) Carrot Oil contains Beta Carotene and Vitamin A which, by eliminating toxic build-up and repairing sun-damaged skin, helps to improve skin complexion. Antiseptic properties also assist in reducing breakouts and the formation of acne. It is also great for hydrating the skin. So mixing it with Jojoba oil may help. I would also recommend mixing Jojoba oil and Tamanu oil as both have great moisturising properties and are great for acne prone skin. Hope this helps!
- Carrot Oil for Face Feb 19, 2021I have acne. I have been using jojoba oil only but I noticed my face is sometimes dry. If I add carrot oil will it help moisturize my face and clear the spots or should I join argan oil to the mix?

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenFeb 04, 2021Hello Dia, Thank you for your comment. Research is confusing when it comes to testosterone levels with PCOS and using Ashwagandha. As it is an adaptogenic herb, it will 'adapt' to the environment of the body to support hormonal balance. A huge therapeutic benefit of Ashwagandha is its ability to balance cortisol levels, which could improve stress and symptoms of PCOS also. If you are currently using any medications or under medical supervision, please seek advice from your practitioner to ensure there are no interactions. I hope this helps :)

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 20, 2021Hi Simie, thank you for your message. Ashwagandha is safe to be taken alongside other supplements including Vitamin E and Calcium. We would advise you check with your GP for interactions with estrogen medications for menopause as there are different variations of these medications. I hope this helps :)
