Trigger foods are foods that trigger reactions in a person. For example, a trigger food could cause you to eat excessively or have gastrointestinal distress or headaches.

Tamara ( ) slid into my DMs & made my day!!

I will leave you with Tamara’s words today.

“Hi Kim ☺️ smiling wide as I type this out to you.
But the last few weeks have truly been magical in terms of my health and mood. After years I’ve experienced happy moods happy gut good sleep and better skin! And all I did was become vegetarian !
I tried going fully vegan , initially I did to heal myself but now here and there I add that ghee into my food or treat myself to that dessert :) also I don’t eat post 7:30 pm :) and hydrate a lottttt. I have no coffee cravings anymore or even alcohol ☺️
I’m not depriving myself or suffering but just so happy in health! So thanks Kim I’m so grateful 😊
Hopefully I can continue this all my life cause a happy gut is a happy life for sure haha
More power to you 🌸🌸”

Vitamin B12 deficiency is common and can present itself in various ways, making it difficult to identify. For most people, a B12 deficiency should be easy to prevent simply by ensuring you are getting enough B12 in your diet.

Several studies have found that coffee and other caffeinated drinks can reduce iron & other vitamin & mineral absorption. What’s more, the stronger the coffee or tea, the less iron absorbed . Furthermore, regular coffee consumption may also have an effect on vitamin & mineral storage levels.

The polyphenols found in coffee and tea are thought to be major inhibitors of vitamin & mineral absorption.

There is tremendous wisdom in not pushing yourself too hard. You deserve a break. Leave a resting place for your heart and your body, focus on building your internal energy.

Digestive problems, including bloating, can all be traced back to the liver. Undigested food and bloating are signs that the liver is overburdened, and a liver under stress will not only affect bile production, but also cause toxins to leak out into the intestines for reabsorption.

Ayurveda, the knowledge of life is concerned with all aspects of life. Naturally this includes nutrition.

We need to make sure we can easily digest whatever we consume. Otherwise anything that cannot be digested is retained by the body as excess. In Ayurveda, this "Ama" is a trigger for illness and malaise.

Your body needs every possible level of support so it can heal and then maintain optimal health.

Have you ever felt nervous and experienced “butterflies” in your stomach? Or felt stressed and then felt nauseous? This is because the brain directly affects the stomach. The gut is the highest area of nerves outside of the brain and is sometimes called the "second brain."

The digestive system cannot function properly with too much stress or stimulation. Thus, we need to practice activating the relaxation response as often as we can.

Protein is personal. Certain protein ( like the kind we discussed in the previous post ) overstimulate the immune system and create inflammation in people, especially in those with a hormonal imbalance.

Apart from our hormones, protein can also impact the gut, shifting the microbiome diversity and balance.
So it is important to choose high quality if possible :)

What else would you like to learn about protein? Leave me a comment!

When it comes to hormonal balance, certain protein sources serve you better than others.

Before we go into the healthy sources, let’s explore what we know about the impact of certain protein sources on our hormones .

Protein makes up the building blocks of organs, muscles, skin, and hormones. Your body needs protein to maintain and repair tissues.

Studies have found that women who consumed a diet containing daily healthy protein experienced greater feelings of fullness.
Additionally, they experienced an increase in metabolism and fat burning.

To all my ladies, stayed tuned for this protein series. Will be discussing the healthy sources of protein next!

As always we finish with tea ☕️

Finding myself being drawn outside more... send help!

STROGANOFF - noun. Cookery. a dish of protein & vegetables sautéed with onion and cooked in a cream sauce of seasonings, and usually mushrooms.

I used chicken as my source of protein. It can be replaced with other plantbased or vegetarian sources such as tofu or paneer to make it vegetarian & the same method can be followed.

HOW TO :
In a pan heat oil or butter. Add in chicken strips, salt, pepper & fry until slightly coloured. Remove from pan & keep aside.
To the same heated pan add a little more oil, add in 1 finely sliced onion & 5-6 cloves of minced garlic. Saute until fragrant & slightly browned. Then add in chopped mushrooms, mix & saute for a minute. Now add back in the chicken strips & mix with mushrooms. Add in 1 tablespoon of tomato purée, 1-2 teaspoons of chilli powder & 1-2 teaspoons of mixed dried herbs, salt & combine. Next add in the cashew cream (mentioned below) . Mix well then add in water to thin out consistency but still keeping it creamy . Cover & simmer on a low heat for 5 mins. Then add in blanched broccoli florets or green capsicum, mix well, simmer for a minute & turn off heat. Serve with herb rice or garlic sourdough bread.

CASHEW CREAM :
To a blender, add 1/4 cup cashews, juice of 1/2 a lime & 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs . Add 1/2 a cup of water & blend well .

Hope you give this a try! Had it for lunch today was yum :)
