Very simple lunch of stir-fried veggies and poached chicken breast. I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hope you’re all well!

Recently Diabetes UK said that by 2030, 1 in 10 will develop type 2 diabetes in the UK if the government doesn’t invest in prevention services.

But I’ve also heard from a trustworthy source that most of the NHS’ resources are dedicated to treating people with established Type 2 diabetes. There’s barely anything allocated to people with pre-diabetes – that is shocking!

You don’t need to wait to get type 2 diabetes before you act against it. Unfortunately, people always view health from a weight loss perspective, which we all know is HOPELESS!

Weight loss doesn’t necessarily guarantee health; your focus should be on METABOLIC health. And irrespective of what you have heard, type 2 diabetes does not only affect overweight or obese people. It can affect anyone.

Insulin resistance is the genesis of type 2 diabetes. It takes 10-15 years of insulin resistance before pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes develops.

Sadly, insulin resistance is complicated to measure. Scientists only measure it during clinical trials and rarely offer it as a routine service. And considering the current type 2 diabetes statistics, there’s a great chance that many people are insulin resistant but oblivious.

Whether or not you are aware of your resistance status, the good news is that you can maintain or regain insulin sensitivity – and it starts with your diet.

Don’t wait until your doctor prescribes insulin or other glucose-regulating medication before you act. My mum always says, “a word is enough for the wise.” ACT now.

Be open-minded and allow yourself to grow. We can

Be open-minded and allow yourself to grow. We can often be steadfast in our beliefs, which may be useful in certain situations but detrimental in others.

Science is ever-evolving, and while we need to take some findings with a pinch of salt, some data are so convincing that they’re difficult to unsee once you’ve seen them.

I’ve spent the last week researching more about a few things I’d come across in the past that I was sceptical about but needed quality time to consider and digest.

I’ve gone down a rabbit hole, but I’m at a point where I’m almost sure that my philosophy on nutrition and health will change slightly (to some) or dramatically to others. Either way, I’m not afraid to admit when I’m wrong or stand up even if I’m standing alone.

So here’s to slight (or dramatic) changes… I’m experimenting on myself, but I will document these changes for your viewing & following pleasure 😊

GROWTH

If you want to improve, you need to eliminate excuses and do HARD things.

Growth cannot happen without discomfort, and that is the TRUTH! You grow through the discomfort/pain. Another truth is that you don’t have to do everything hard to grow. You can choose your hard, but once you decide, don’t give up.

I say all this to say that habit change is HARD!

If you’ve been doing the same thing for 20+ years, understand that it will be challenging to unlearn old habits and establish new ones. Understand that giving up will undo every lesson you learned in your journey and eventually land you where you started.

Instead of giving up, grit your teeth, commit to sticking it through. I promise that the reward at the other end will be worth every sacrifice and pain you endured.

You CAN do this!

It’s Lupus Awareness Month!

Lupus is an autoimmune, inflammatory condition that arises from genetic and environmental factors. It mainly affects women of childbearing age and is more prevalent among Black women than white women.

Diet may play a role in SLE because many studies have linked highly processed foods to autoimmune conditions and...

Black women tend to consume sugar-sweetened drinks and processed foods more frequently than white women, possibly accounting for their higher lupus rates.

Studies in white populations haven't found a link between diet and SLE, but it is unknown if the same findings are valid for Black people because no studies have been done.

Researchers decided to investigate this using data from women enrolled in the ongoing Black Women's Health Study.

After assessing dietary data from 114 women with lupus they found that women who ate diets high in carbohydrates, and low in protein and fats had a higher risk of SLE.

However, there were shocking findings about the types of fats associated with a lower SLE risk, and the extent to which replacing carbohydrates with fat lowered SLE risk.

It’s National Arthritis Awareness Week, Let’s

It’s National Arthritis Awareness Week, Let’s Talk about Diet and Rheumatoid Arthritis!

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition (when the body attacks itself) that causes joint pain and stiffness, muscle damage and fatigue.

The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is still unknown, but genetics and environmental factors such as diet play a role.

Even though the focus should be on what to eat to prevent or reduce symptoms, most people are more concerned about what to avoid.

If you’re one of those, I will tell you right now.

According to scientific evidence, the foods and nutrients that worsen rheumatoid arthritis and you should probably avoid or limit include:
• Red meat
• Sugar-sweetened drinks
• Salt
• Coffee
• Trans fats
• Excess Omega-6 fats

That said, avoiding individual foods and nutrients is unlikely to reduce your risk or improve symptoms. Your overall diet is what makes a considerable difference.

Your eating habits will either reduce your risk of rheumatoid arthritis and slow its progression if you already have it or increase your risk and speed its progression.

To achieve the former, focus on:
• Eating whole, unprocessed foods
• Including lots of omega-3 fats
• Exercising
• Getting adequate sleep
• Reducing exposure to pollution

Spending time in nature is so underrated!

We often underestimate the stress-busting/ mind-clearing/ re-focusing power of outdoor walks or simply just sitting on a bench in the park and breathing in clean, fresh air.

Spending time outdoors can be just as (if not more) effective as having a warm bath when you need to unwind. Australian researchers have even found that people who exercise or spend time outdoors regularly have higher serotonin levels, a hormone that enhances happier moods and reduces fatigue.

I don’t go for walks as often as I would love because of work and our unpredictable British weather, but I want to make more effort to change that.

How often do you spend time in nature?
