5 Immune-Boosting Foods

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]A[/eltd_dropcaps]s we head into winter (rather reluctantly), this year more than ever, it’s really important to give your immune system a helping hand. Your diet, combined with a healthy lifestyle, is the best place to start.  

There are certain foods that are particularly good. Obvious choices include ginger, turmeric and citrus fruits, but it’s also important to make sure you’re getting the right variety to support your digestive system (where a big chunk of your immune system takes residence) and keep your muscles strong. 

How To Be Positive About The Rest Of 2020

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]W[/eltd_dropcaps]ith such a crazy, unexpected year upon us it is difficult to see the positives sometimes, however we can choose to focus on this year in two very different ways. We can all feel sorry for ourselves because we didn’t get to go on holiday, and we can get frustrated with new guidelines in shops or we can be grateful that our family and friends are healthy. Embrace that this year has taught us to appreciate the little things we once took for granted like being able to nip to the shop, seeing our family regularly or having a normal work routine. 

However, it is important to acknowledge that this has been a challenging time for everyone, especially those struggling with their mental health. Isolating with no work or normal life to focus on, the mind can wander into a dark place. This year has taught us we are strong enough to face anything and a bad day, week or month is never forever.  

Dear Teenage Self…

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]O[/eltd_dropcaps]n the eve of my 27th birthday, as I sit in bed sipping a Mimosa, minus the Champagne… okay, it’s a large glass of orange juice with ice but let me at least pretend to set a slightly more glamorous scene… I wonder how on earth I’ve made it this far. If you’d have told seventeen-year-old Sophie that ten years on she’d be perpetually single, renting a flat (not living in a five-bed mansion with a banker) and still sleeping with her childhood teddies, she’d have most definitely told you to F off.

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]he word “macro” can be an instant turn-off. For those of you who are beginners to the world of nutrition and understanding how to correctly fuel your bodies, the whole concept can seem really daunting. You might find yourself turning away from the perceived complexity of how it all actually works. But no fear, as it is so much simpler than you may think.
