Top Tip to Starting Intermittent Fasting.

Intermittent fasting can significantly change your body, mainly if you are accustomed to a standard eating pattern.

It is crucial to begin slowly and gradually ease into the fasting routine to allow your body to adjust.

Here's why and what you should consider when starting slowly:
Why Start Slowly:
Adjustment Period: Your body needs time to adapt to the new eating schedule, mainly if you have been eating regularly throughout the day.

Avoid Overwhelm: Starting slowly can prevent feelings of overwhelm or failure that may arise from jumping into a drastic fasting routine right away.

Reduce Side Effects: Gradual incorporation of fasting helps minimize potential side effects such as headaches, dizziness, or fatigue that can occur during the initial stages.

▶️Eating More Fibre to Combat Colon Cancer.
With the recent rise in colon cancer in the younger generation – there was recent report over the weekend all about what can be causing the increase and what we can do to help ourselves reduce the risk.

📌 According to initial research unveiled at a major cancer conference, younger patients with low-fibre and high-sugar diets have been found to produce a bacteria strain called Fusobacterium, leading to increased gut inflammation.


📌 Plus - Recent data indicates that only nine percent of individuals in the UK meet the recommended daily intake of 30g of fibre. The incidence of cancer diagnosis among individuals under 50 in the UK has surged by 24 percent over the past two decades, which surpasses other age groups’ increases.

🩺Medical professionals have long suspected modern diets to contribute to this rapid rise.

🩺 A group of American scientists has proposed that an imbalance between excessive sugar consumption and inadequate fibre intake triggers the gut to generate bacteria that accelerate cell aging.

🫐 Conversely, fibre-rich diets slow down glucose release in the blood, nourish beneficial gut bacteria, and decrease inflammation.

Continuous inflammation is known to accelerate cell aging, with young colorectal cancer patients exhibiting cells that are biologically up to 15 years older due to poor diets. Furthermore, it has been suggested that low-fibre, processed diets disrupt gut microbiome balance, leading to intestinal dysbiosis.

🥑The low-down on Fibre and which ones to add into your daily food intake.

🥦Dietary fibre, derived from the insides and outer skins of plants, offers numerous benefits, such as reducing cholesterol levels, promoting weight management, preventing constipation, controlling blood sugar levels, and potentially lowering the risk of certain cancers like colon cancer. There are two main types of fibre – Soluble and Insoluble.

🍏Soluble fibres can be found in;
• Fruits,
• Vegetables,
• Oats
• Barley
and these mange you blood sugar and cholesterol.

🥕Insoluble Fibre can be found in:
• Bran
• Celery
• Whole grains
• Seeds
And these all help prevent constipation and help move the waste product through you Colon quicker and out of your body.

🥹 But take caution in adding them into your daily diet and do so to avoid discomforts like bloating and gas.
Add in these high-fibre foods into your diet slowly, to allow your body time to adjust and minimize adverse effects.

Here is a list of High Fibre foods that you can add into your diet. So, you can continue to eat pizza – but add in some veg too.
Chart is per 100grams
Chia Seeds – 34.4grams
Popcorn – 14.15grams
Almonds – 13.3grams
Dark Chocolate – 10.9grams
Lentils 10.7grams
Oats – 10.1grams
Peas – 8.3grams
Kidney Beans 7.4grams
Chickpeas – 7grams
Avocado – 6.7grams
Raspberries – 6.50grams.

Other foods to try are, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots, quinoa, broccoli, banana, beetroot, apple and strawberries.

🥑Struggling to find great avocados that are ripe, tasty and don’t go off to quickly…then try these ones out from Tesco.

🥑🥑They come in two’s and are wrapped in cardboard and harvested by hand. Orchard grown and gently ripened, for a creamy texture and richer flavour – and they really are gorgeous.

I found them in Tesco Express – but can see them on their main website.

Cost = £1.60 – so 80p each and the beauty is they don’t seem to go off as quickly or go brown like others I have found.

🥑Why add Avocados to your menopause daily food intake I hear you ask- and yes Daily.

Avocados are high in fat with 60 per cent of this being monounsaturated fats, which research suggests helps to protect against heart disease and lower blood pressure. They are also an excellent source of potassium, folate and fibre, all of which benefit the heart and cardiovascular system. They also contain beneficial long chain fatty acids, which are crucial elements for hormonal production and function.
This is the good fat that you need to be eating during Menopause.

😍Hurray eating an Avocado a day can help your heart healthy😊

📌New Study confirms this too – see below, from the European Heart Journal.
Confirmed: Avocado on toast is good for you! Scientists say potassium-rich foods keep heart healthy ▶️▶️(but only for women!)◀️◀️
• Researchers have today concluded that avocados are great for your heart
• Eating more potassium, abundant in avocados, may stave off a heart attack.
• Only women appear to reap its benefit, achieved by eating an extra 1g per day.

Hurray eating an Avocado a day can help your heart healthy😊 .
A study of nearly 25,000 people over 20yrs has found by eating an extra 1gm per day of Potassium rich foods, found in Avocados and bananas can reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. By eating approximately 1 avocado or 3 bananas, or 3 glasses of milk a day, the potassium helps the body pass sodium in urine which aids the control of fluids exiting the body.

Analysis in the European Heart Journal showed women with the highest potassium intake had the lowest blood pressure levels.
Other foods high in potassium can be found in pulses, fish, nuts, seeds and milk which are also low in salt, so can help benefit your heart.

The study tracked nearly 25,000 people for almost 20 years.
Participants were aged between 40 and 79 when the project kicked off, before the millennium.

All were quizzed about their lifestyle habits and had blood pressure readings taken.

Urinary samples were taken to allow researchers to estimate how much sodium and potassium they consumed daily.

The compound is hidden in fresh everyday foods, making it hard for people to give an accurate reflection of how much they get.
Volunteers were the grouped by how much potassium they ate per day, ranging from low to high.

World Health Organization guidelines say that adults should eat 3.5g per day.

Analysis in the European Heart Journal showed women with the highest potassium intake had the lowest blood pressure levels.
Every one-gram increase in daily potassium was linked with a 2.4mmHg drop in blood pressure.

Meanwhile, a separate analysis revealed participants who consumed the most were 13 per cent less likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke than people who consumed the least.
An easy way to boost your potassium intake is by eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day.

Other foods like pulses, fish, nuts, seeds and milk are also high in potassium and low in salt, so can help benefit your heart.

What do Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson, Resse Witherspoon, Halle Berry, Bruce Springsteen, Chris Martin, Elon Musk, and Chris Hemsworth all have in common????

Well - its Intermittent Fasting. 😀

🎤Chris Martin took it up after meeting Bruce Springsteen and asking him how he had so much energy and looked so fit and young. Bruce then told him about Intermittent Fasting, which he likes to do with just one meal daily.

🔥Recent studies have shown that intermittent fasting can lead to weight loss ranging from 1% to 8% of your baseline weight. But that's not all - it can also improve metabolic health markers like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of weight-related diseases when combined with a good exercise routine.
Choosing the proper fasting method is key, and there are options to suit everyone's preferences. Whether you opt for time-restricted eating, alternate-day fasting, or the 5:2 diet, intermittent fasting can be tailored to fit your lifestyle or the one-meal-a-day version.

💙My journey with Intermittent Fasting began a few years ago, and I've since become a certified expert in the field (I passed with Distinction). During a mini course, one of my clients expressed interest in Intermittent Fasting, and I tailored the course to her needs. The results were astounding; she lost one stone in six weeks. This personal experience and expertise are what I bring to our Intermittent Fasting Club.

🔥Are you ready to join the Intermittent Fasting Club, which will;
Help you kick-start your journey and stay on track for success.
I will guide you through the maze of Intermittent Fasting. No matter what type of intermittent fasting you choose, this eating plan requires discipline and some background knowledge before jumping in with two feet.

💪Protein Protein Protein – it’s all over social media so here’s the low-down on how much Protein you need during Menopause.

🇦🇺Emerging research in Australia shows that a woman's protein needs rise after menopause. As we age, we become less efficient at absorbing and using protein anyway, but the fall in oestrogen leads to an increased breakdown of protein that is stored as tissue in the body.

📌We need protein not only to build muscle and healthy bones but also for many of the basic functions of the body.

❓What is Protein?
Protein is like the body's Lego set, consisting of Twenty amino acid building blocks.
Nine amino acids are essential, meaning we must get them from our diet while our bodies can produce the remaining eleven. These essential amino acids come from both animal and plant sources. All of which are necessary for muscle health and growth. They're like the supervisors in the muscle-building construction site.

✅Protein Sources
Where do you get your protein?
Well, it's everywhere!

From Animal Protein Foods -Beef, pork, poultry, fish, and more.

From Plant & Dairy Protein Foods -Nuts, seeds, beans, tofu, and dairy.

❓How Much Protein Do You Need?

For a sedentary person of healthy weight: Aim for 0.4 – 0.6 grams of protein per pound.
When losing weight: Protein helps you burn calories and maintain muscle during weight loss. A bit more protein is beneficial at this time.

💪Building muscle: To build muscle, strive for around 1 gram of protein per pound.

Active individuals: Those involved need 0.5 – 0.65 grams per pound.

Protein helps you;
✅To stay strong.
✅Recovering from injuries.
✅Higher protein diets aid recovery.
✅Protein can even improve bone health!

Check out what foods are high in protein below.

I'm back, after a lovely long Birthday Weekend - love how as we get older, we can make it last longer 😍

I';ve just written this for my F.ree Menopause group here on facebook and thought I would share it here for you to all see too.

Time to enjoy the sunshine and how it helps your Menopause Body
Vitamin D update time and cancer news.

It's FREE—the sunshine—when it shines, so use it to your advantage. It really tops up your Vitamin D levels.

✅You can take a supplement, and I advise you to do so all through the winter if you are based in the UK and even through the summer months – because as we age (sorry, we all do) -studies have shown that our bodies become less effective at absorbing Vitamin D from food and through our skin becomes less efficient at converting sunlight into this nutrient.

✅ Another thing you can do for better absorption is to delay putting on your sunscreen so that you can get 20 minutes of sunlight exposure through your skin.

📌Now the update – recent studies have shown that high doses may not only reduce your risk of colon cancer, but also Dementia.
Other benefits of Vitamin D are that it helps keep bones healthy by increasing the body's absorption of calcium, and it helps keep the brain functioning and cognitive health.

📌 Studies on colon cancer have shown that taking doses of Vitamin D helps improve your gut bacteria, which helps prevent the growth of bowel cancers. It boosts levels of Bacteroides fragilis, and higher levels of this bacterium protect you better from colon cancer. Please note that the study was done on mice—which is where most studies are conducted—and they are now studying whether the same effect is found in the human gut.

📌 However, I can report that a 2017 study in humans found that a higher dose of vitamin D reduced the chances of dying from colon cancer by 36%. This study has become more extensive, and they are looking to see if this can slow or help prevent the spread of the disease.

📌 Now, the studies on Dementia involve 12,000 patients who took Vitamin D over ten years, and they were a massive 40% less likely to get Dementia. The thinking behind this is that it has been shown that Vitamin D can help prevent two proteins in the brain—amyloid and Tau—which have been linked to Dementia. More will follow as they update their study.

📌📌Please check with your doctor first if you are taking any other medication – taking vitamin D will not interfere with your meds. 📌📌

SO, GET OUTSIDE AND FIND THAT SUNSHINE. PS: TAKE 20 MINUTES WITHOUT YOUR SUNGLASSES ON, TOO—VITAMIN D NEEDS TO ENTER YOUR EYES, TOO.
