Hi,
 
This Saturday November 14th is World Diabetes Day and this year the International Diabetes Federation is promoting healthy living and starting each day right by having a healthy breakfast as its theme to combat this worldwide epidemic.
 
The campaign is being backed by all major health organisations to draw attention to the health issues attributed to Diabetes and to keep the disease firmly in the public spotlight.
 
I have always promoted a healthy breakfast, its so important to get your day off to the best possible start with a protein filled meal
 
If you are still having toast or cereal for breakfast then you are starting your day in a way that will see you hungry again a few hours later on a hormonal rollercoaster which results in your body storing fat rather than burning it!
 
A healthy breakfast should be a mix of good carbs, protein and fibre and it should keep you full through the morning.
 
And it’s not just what we eat that we should be more aware of, what you drink with your breakfast should be thought about carefully too.
 
You should be cutting out the fruit juice if that is your preferred drink as just a 150ml glass of unsweetened orange juice contains around 15g of carbohydrate and 13g of sugar.
 
I have recently launched my own cookbook with a choice of 30 breakfast recipes in so that everyone should be able to find something tasty and filling for breakfast!
 
Here is one of my breakfast recipes containing eggs and avocado, eggs are a wonderful source of protein and avocados are packed full of good healthy fats.
 
​This breakfast is quick, easy and will fill you up until lunchtime no problem!
 
Baked Egg in Avocado Cups Serves 1
 
Ingredients
• 1 avocado
• 2 eggs, beaten
• Sea salt and black pepper
• 1 tsp of coconut oil
• Handful of chopped chives
• Chilli flakes to your preference
 
 
Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200c
2. Slice avocado in half and remove pip.
3. Use a spoon to scoop out some of the avocado to make room for the egg. Place the avocado halves in a tin or oven safe bowl so they don't roll around. You can slice a little off the avocado to give it a flat base and make them more stable. Crack an egg into each avocado half. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add a pinch of chilli flakes.
4. Bake for 8-15 minutes depending how well done you like your eggs.

​Sprinkle with chives and serve with a green salad
 
Let me know if you enjoy it and as always if you struggle with breakfast ideas then feel free to email me back and ask any questions.

Hi,

Did that grab your attention!!!

I want to talk about boobs in the context of exercise....

​And how important it is to make sure that you wear something supportive when exercising

We need to make sure that we protect our assets when jumping around, we don't want to damage the breast tissue and also it can be really uncomfortable if you are not wearing the right support

So what should you be wearing?

I always suggest to my clients that they get fitted out for a proper sports bra and that they make sure they have the size checked every time they purchase a new one and that should ideally be every 12 months

If you lose or gain weight or have a baby then you will want to get measured and checked again to ensure you are in the right size
Statistics show that three quarters of women that exercise are doing so without the right support in this area

Breasts are mostly composed of fatty tissue and are supported mainly by skin and fragile ligaments called Coopers' ligaments. Because these are not elastic, during repetitive or high impact sport the breasts bounce and pull on the ligaments, forcing them to stretch. Once these ligaments have stretched they stay this way. The result is every woman's nightmare - sagging breasts.

Going without the correct support can also cause breast pain and upper back and shoulder problems.

So when was the last time you got measured and made sure your sports bra was doing the job for you???
