With the holiday season quickly approaching, drinking alcohol can become a more regular part of our lives over the coming months. While drinking is often a social event, it can be easy to overdo it, leaving yourself feeling like you’re on struggle street the next day! The JSHealth philosophy means you can definitely enjoy the pleasures of life – even if that means a glass or two of wine on a night out.  I advocate everything in moderation! Personally, I try and keep weekdays alcohol-free, and then enjoy two or three glasses of wine per evening on weekends. I do love me a dry Rosé 😉 It is definitely possible to drink in moderation and choose healthier alternatives, so you … The post A nutritionist’s guide to alcohol appeared first on JSHealth.

I’ve tried every diet in my time, from low-carb, to paleo, to the lemon detox diet. I’ve counted calories and cut out sugar. And the biggest thing I learned throughout all these supposedly “healthy” diets: how unhealthy and unhappy dieting really makes you. After becoming a chronic fad dieter when I was just 13, I have only truly learned how to live a healthy, balanced life in the last few years. Now, my philosophy on health couldn’t be more different. The diet culture instils a lot of fear. We’re constantly told to try a new diet, or cut out a certain food group. This makes it easy to become obsessed with food, or the “healthy life”. We are inundated with … The post Dieting made me afraid of every single food group appeared first on JSHealth.

Happy World Vegan Day! With our focus on sustainability, animal welfare and health continuing to grow, there are more and more vegan options available to us all the time. I love adding in plant-based meals to my diet, even though I’m not a vegan myself, to boost my vegetable intake and add some variety to my meals! But keep in mind, not all protein sources and vegan meat alternatives are created equal… Some of the “meats” you can buy are super high in sodium, sugar or artificial ingredients, so I recommend steering clear of these when you can. My favourite vegan sources of protein, in order, are: 1. Legumes Legumes can refer to anything from beans, to lentils, chickpeas, peas … The post My Three Favourite Vegan Protein Sources appeared first on JSHealth.
