If your body could talk what would it say about you? We’ve all heard the old adage ‘you are what you eat’, but have you ever stopped to think exactly how true that is? Put simply, healthy eating is the key to wellbeing. We all have up to 100 trillion cells in our bodies, each one demanding a constant supply of daily nutrients in order to function optimally. Food affects all of these cells, & by extension, every aspect of our being: mood, energy levels, food cravings, thinking capacity, sex drive, sleeping habits & general health. If you feed your body junk & convenience foods it’ll simply lay down fat, lower your energy, even your brain power. At a time when around half of all women & two thirds of all men in the UK are overweight or clinically obese & the estimated cost to the country is 18 million sick days & 30, 000 deaths a year, & 40, 000 lost years of working life in England alone (source: National Audit Office), this is a serious issue. Gillian Mc Keith is here to give us a wake up call & some much needed advice.
