Food Review: Children's Yoghurts

With all the sugars we are exposed to we should really try to find ways to reduce it, especially as it’s not good for our healthy and only adds to our calorie intake. One way to start getting rid of the unnecessary sugars in our diet is by finding any hidden sugars in the food we are having already.

Halal Food Festival 2013: Healthy Haloodie

As a nutritionist and as a foodie I was very excited to attend the first ever Halal Food Festival, which took place at Excel London from Friday 27^th September 2013 – Sunday 29^th September 2013. I was very excited to see the different food and drinks they had to offer under the ‘halal’ category. As a Muslim, dietary requirement is a very important factor when planning, preparing and choosing meals.

Hello and Welcome!

Hello! and welcome to my new blog, I am still new to this, so please be patient and I will get the hang of it soon (hopefully). I wanted to make a proper blog spot to share my journey as a nutritionist with you all. I will be writing about my thoughts, experiences, sharing recipes, news as well as events that I attend. 

I had a blog on my previous website before, so I am in the process of transferring all my old posts to this new one. I hope you will enjoy reading them all and I look forward to hearing from you soon. 

Thank you!

P.S. Any feedback and tips would be much appreciated. Thank you :-) 

Healthy Ramadhan 2013

The blessed month of fasting is upon the Muslims again and the summer days are just starting as we get into this blessed month. Ramadhan is a month where Muslims fast (do not eat or drink) from dusk til dawn. It is a month where Muslims learn to exercise their self-control, refresh and reflect on their life; spiritually and physically.  

With the days getting longer and the nights getting shorter it can be difficult to maintain our health and strength. This is why it is even more important to make sure we eat and drink healthily making sure we keep our body’s energy and fuel topped up with the right foods and drinks.

Allergy Fighting Foods

Just a quick blog to point out some allergy fighting foods. Many people suffer from allergies, like hay fever, which can interfere with their daily lifestyle. With the sun coming out and pollen in the air many people find themselves sneezing, coughing and getting itchy watery eyes. Although you can take some kind of hay fever medication first you can also look at how some foods can help with many allergies too. 

EVENT: Organic & Natural Beauty Show 2013

I got a request by email to attend the Organic & Natural Beauty Show. Being into all things natural I decided to register for a free ticket and go. I went just for a fun day out and to find out what natural products are out there for us to use (and also for the freebies!). ;-)

We use so many products, sometimes we forget how much chemicals we are exposed to. We sometimes think nothing of it as it part of our everyday life, from moisturisers to home cleaning products to hair products.
