Last week Annabel posted about her key Kale and Cocoa resolution for 2015: to get more vegetables into her family’s diet, aiming for SEVEN portions a day (you can read why seven is the new five here). So here’s my New Year’s health resolution: to boost my immunity so I don’t get any sodding awful…
HEALTHY AGEING RESOLUTIONS – KALE & BLACK SESAME RICE BOWL
Over the last few days I’ve been thinking about healthy ageing resolutions for 2015. Nothing drastic – no crash dieting or fasting for me! But after reviewing the medical findings of last year, two in particular stood out. Firstly, the report that found a Mediterranean diet to be more effective than a low-fat diet for…
THE POWER OF VITAMIN D – HEALTHY CHRISTMAS CANAPES
With the darkest day almost upon us, it seems fitting to end the year with a few words on the sunshine vitamin – Vitamin D. A slew of new research has linked Vitamin D deficiency to obesity, dementia, prostate and colorectal cancers, fertility, multiple sclerosis, asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure, poor immunity, SAD, schizophrenia…
CHRISTMAS, CALORIES AND ‘HEALTHY’ CAKE!
Talk about timing: it’s almost Christmas and here comes a report suggesting that the key to ageing slowly is cutting calories – especially carbs. That’s just mean if you ask me. But, without being Bah! Humbug about it, it’s worth taking a moment to look at the stats and science as we start the seasonal…
MORE GOOD NEWS FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET – HOW TO EAT BRUSSEL SPROUTS
How comforting to think about the Mediterranean Diet as we head towards the shortest and darkest day of the year! Wine, sun shine, peaches … Sounds good, right? Yes, I know Brussel sprouts don’t have quite the glamour but bear with me because the big nutritional news this week has been another study endorsing the…
CARING, TURMERIC AND A RECIPE FOR SALMON PILAFF
This weekend feels like the start of the long march to Christmas – with all the presents, all the parties, all the food and all the mayhem that entails. For anyone who takes care of anyone (which is most adults, to be honest) it means even more juggling than usual, fitting in the children’s activities…
HOW TO GET YOUR CHILD EATING HEALTHY FOODS – AND RECIPES FOR KALE CRISPS
For those of you who think the off-spring of Ms’s Kale and Cocoa happily munch on spinach and lentils, let me put you right. They (mostly) don’t! Like mothers everywhere, we cajole, bribe, threaten and despair. But after sixteen years of feeding multiple children and reading multiple books and reports on the subject, I’ve made…
ANXIETY, MOOD FOOD AND CHINESE ‘SPAG BOG’
A headline that could only appear in the Daily Mail: “Women who are anxious, jealous and moody are ‘twice as likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s in old age’” – as if the daily anxieties and strains of midlife aren’t enough to worry about! But the science behind the headline is interesting, and at Kale and Cocoa…
OATS, GLORIOUS OATS – AND A RECIPE FOR SUPER-SPEEDY NO-BAKE GRANOLA
I’ve always longed to be the sort of girl who wafts around making her own granola. Yes, I know making granola is neither arduous nor complicated. But it often seems a faff – you have to turn the oven on in advance, then you have to hang around while it’s baking, gently prodding and turning….
HEALTHY HALLOWEEN: PUMPKIN AND POMEGRANATE HUMMUS
It probably hasn’t escaped your notice that today is Halloween. It’s among the more bizarre of our ‘festivals’, you have to admit, and like many others it’s been taken over by the food industry pushing sugar on all and sundry, especially children. But I try not to be too po-faced about it all, as it…
