Fantastic day at the Journal Club @sourdoughschool yesterday! Hanging out with inspirational people and talking about #gutmicrobes #nutrition and digestibility of #sourdough hosted @vanessaKimbell at the @sourdoughclub. This is the delicious salad and sourdough Vanessa made us as part of a delicious lunch with over 50 diverse foods and #fermentedfood
Thank you Vanessa, your team and for the inspiring speakers for sharing their knowledge and passion for what they do, sharing r...eviews on scientific papers including: All about fermentation of grains and the positive influence on the gut microbiome. The importance of fibre and how this affects not just the gut microbiome but the vaginal microbiome and the knock-on effect this has on a baby’s own microbial balance and developing immune tolerance. How our modern industrialised society, frequent washing, obsession with anti-bacterial practices and lack of time spent outdoors has influenced not gut our gut microbiome but our skin microbiome too to the detriment of our immune function. The importance of supporting the gut microbiome for immune regulation and its influence on atopic disease such as asthma. How agricultural practices affect the nutrients in the soil, the grain and our health. Soil health = plant health = our health! And of course how diversity in our diets helps support microbial diversity which helps our health. Eat a rainbow Thank you to all the wonderful people who made this day so inspirational @vanessaKimbell @miguelmateas @indibiome director of @atlasbiomed @mohanpalsc @gilchesters @edwarddicken @bowelcanceruk @dksherrat @sara_sourdoughtherapy @bonefirecherry

Some great ideas here for reducing food waste. I never knew you could dry avocado 🥑 seed, grate and eat it - will have to try that! As well as broccoli 🥦 stalk soup I just chop the stalk up finely and it’s great in stir fries or even just steamed.
What are your top tips for reducing food waste?

Great this information is now getting out there. Might be hard to make good food choices if you’re depressed but family and friends may be able to help - it is really worth it

Meal in minutes! Literally 5 minutes! And it tastes delicious 😋
One of my top tips for my clients is to make use of leftovers and store-cupboard go-tos when they want a nutritious meal but are short on time.
Here is a delicious supper idea:
... I gently sautéed some leftover new potatoes, sliced cherry tomatoes, sliced red pepper, chopped fresh spinach and a bag of the ready cooked tomatoey puy and green lentils until the potatoes were reheated and the spinach wilted. So easy.
Or if you have time to make your own tomatoey lentils and don’t want to use any packet food simply: Rinse 100g lentils, add to a pan of water and bring to the boil, simmer for 25-45 minutes (depending on type)
Make an easy tomato/ basil sauce: Chop 2 or 3 cloves of garlic and some chopped basil stalks and gently fry in olive oil until softened. Add 2 tins of plum tomatoes, season and simmer for 30 minutes. Mush the tomatoes up, add a splash of balsamic vinegar and a handful of torn basil leaves. Season again if need. Use about 4 tbsp of the sauce to add to the drained lentils and either refrigerate or freeze the remainder.
Potatoes (and other starchy foods like pasta and rice) when cooled overnight and eaten the next day have higher levels of resistant starch. This means less starch is digested by us and more is left to feed our fantastic gut microbes! 🦠❤️ So plan ahead, cook extra and eat the next day. You can eat cold or reheated, there’ll be more resistant starch either way. 😊

Inflammation drives so many chronic conditions. If you need advice around how to manage then do get in touch

Initial findings from the Predict 1 Study show that individualised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations are key to human health! BANT (British Association of Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine) practitioners - like myself - work with our clients to offer personalised recommendations. 😀🥦🍓

A new study has shown that bacteria in soil produce a substance that has a positive impact on our immune and nervous systems! 🦠 So get out and do some gardening or let your children play in the mud! Another great reason to do outdoor bootcamp Lecia Carr Fitness OTT Training and OTT Bootcamp Thanks to the clever people at Invivo Clinical for sharing the article!

A trip to Menorca wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the local Mercat. They have fresh fish, vegetables, meats and cheeses but also amazing tapas, paella and the olives were enormous and extremely delicious!

Ideally there shouldn’t be any packaged foods targeted at children but at least let’s stop cartoons being used to advertise foods with high sugar, high salt and processed fats!

Fresh and colourful Halloumi Salad 🥗
You can have this ready in 15 minutes, it full of colour and crunch with a mix crisp quick-pickled carrot, courgette and cucumber, sweet berries, tangy sauerkraut, salty halloumi and nuts. 😋 enjoy!
To serve 4 you will need:... - 3 carrots - 1 courgette - 1/3 cucumber - 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar - 4 tbsp cold water - 1 tsp fennel seeds - 1 tsp coriander seeds - 2 spring onions - Handful berries or pomegranate seeds (I used blueberries) - Handful almond flakes - 1 pack of halloumi (250g)
✅Use a veg peeler or mandolin to make ribbons out of the carrots, courgette and cucumber ✅Place in a bowl and pour over the cider vinegar and water, mix well ✅In a hot frying pan (no oil) toast the fennel and coriander seeds for 1-2 mins - smells good! ✅Crush the toasted seeds in a pestle and mortar and combine with the veg ribbons ✅Finely slice the spring onions ✅Lightly toast the almond flakes - don’t let them burn! ✅Slice the halloumi and dry fry until lightly coloured ✅Combine the veg ribbons, spring onion, blueberries, toasted almond flakes and halloumi on a plate and sprinkle over some sauerkraut. I made my own but they sell lovely sauerkraut @thesussexpeasant Sauerkraut is a fabulous way to include fermented food - good for our gut - into you diet.
Enjoy! @ Brighton and Hove
