Everyday Foods That Will Boost Your Mood

Posted on by flourishweb

Feeling down in the dumps could have more to do with your diet than you might think. Research is showing that eating healthy foods may help to improve your mood and make you feel happier.

If eating an unbalanced diet has the power to make you feel blue, just imagine what eating nutritious meals could do for your wellbeing. Here are just a few of our favourite mood-boosting foods.

Beetroot

Beets are already one of our go-to veggies for a liver cleanse, but they can actually make for a pretty powerful mood-booster, too. These purple liver-lovers are packed with betaine and tryptophan, both of which have been found to improve your mood.

Tryptophan can make you sleepy but we’re okay with it because of the significant role the amino acid plays in producing serotonin, the feel-good hormone that floods our body when we’re in a good mood.

We’ve embraced the power of beets by making beetroot powder the key ingredient in our Daily Detox blend, which targets liver health. Taken regularly, it may even help to improve your mood.

Green tea

Green tea has been a popular drink in China, where it originated, for thousands of years. Since it’s discovery, it has grown in popularity across the rest of the world.

For centuries, green tea has been used to improve mental clarity and cognitive function, and further research into the drink has proven this to be true.

Green tea is packed with phytochemicals that work together to improve your mood, including L-theanine, an amino acid that helps you to feel relaxed. It also contains enough caffeine to keep you alert without feeling jittery.

Spinach

Being iron-deficient has shown to significantly decrease your energy levels and make you feel constantly fatigued, which can negatively impact your mood. By incorporating iron-rich foods like spinach into your diet, you’ll be able to keep your energy and your mood up.

Spinach also contains magnesium, a mineral which helps with serotonin production in the body. Eating this leafy green regularly will increase your happy hormones and ensure that you stay energised throughout the day.

Bananas

Like beetroot, bananas contain tryptophan, which means that eating them helps to boost your serotonin levels and improve your mood. Eating a banana can satisfy your sweet craving and give you an energy boost at the same time.

Green bananas are a wonderful source of prebiotic fibre that your gut will love – and a happy gut makes for a happier, healthier you.

Turn your frown upside down with mood-boosting foods

The foods you consume can impact your body and mind in so many ways, and it’s important to eat only the things that make you feel good. Stick to mood-boosting foods on a daily basis and you may just find that your mood stays lifted for longer.

Natural Remedies for a Better Night’s Sleep

Posted on by flourishweb

A good night’s sleep gives your body time to rest and recuperate in preparation for the coming day. But when your sleep cycle is out of whack, it can throw everything else out of balance, too.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, there are a number of things you can do to help improve your sleep and fall back into a natural rhythm. We’ve listed our favourite natural remedies for improving your sleep below.

Drink turmeric tea before bed

With all of the health benefits of turmeric packed into our Turmeric Blend, we already know the power of this enticing spice.

Not only is turmeric a powerful natural anti-inflammatory, but it also helps to aid digestion. This is crucial to your sleeping pattern because if there’s food in your stomach, your body will delay melatonin production (more on this soon) and it will take you longer to get to sleep.

Speed up your digestion and counteract your body’s natural response with a cup of turmeric tea before bed. The turmeric will help to get things moving along, prevent you from having to go to bed on a full belly, and ensure that your melatonin production happens on time.

Get your sunshine hours in

Melatonin is a hormone that makes you feel relaxed and sleepy, and it’s pumped through your body at night to help you sleep. Healthy melatonin production is easy – all you need to do is get your daylight hours in.

The production of melatonin is intrinsically linked to your body’s natural cycle of waking and sleeping.

In order for your body to know when it’s time to wake and time to sleep, you need to absorb as much natural light as possible during the day. That way, your body will know when to release larger amounts of melatonin throughout your system (at night) to help you sleep.

Change your diet

The food you put into your body has a huge impact on how your body functions. When it’s loaded with unhealthy food, it can’t work at optimal capacity. Instead, you can expect to see poorer digestion, decreased mood, ongoing fatigue and bad sleep patterns.

Transitioning over to a natural anti-inflammatory diet that consists of nutritious, balanced meals and healthy snacks will help to keep your body functioning optimally and improve your sleep – as well as other physical and psychological aspects of your life.

The team at Flourish are passionate about our plant-based diet because of how positively it has impacted our own – and especially our co-founder, Chris Ashton’s – lives.

Get moving

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: exercise is beneficial for your health in so many ways. Not only does regular exercise make you stronger and fitter, but it also helps to improve your mood, aid digestion, increase your energy levels and promote better sleep.

Aim to get moving – whether it’s for a walk, run, cycle, strength training or other type of fitness – for at least 20 minutes a day.

Due to pre-existing injuries, health conditions or general preference, you may find that high-impact exercise is not for you. If this is the case, opt for some low-impact alternatives.

Yoga is a calming, low-impact exercise that has been shown to improve sleep quality with regular practice.

Get a better night’s sleep

Whether it makes you feel irritable, tired, unable to focus or hungrier than usual, a poor night’s sleep can impair your waking existence in many ways. We recommend trying out these natural remedies to improve your sleep quality and feel more energised and tranquil during the day.

Healthy Eating Tips While Working From Home

Posted on by flourishweb

Working from home has become the norm for many of us and we’re experiencing a whole range of benefits as a result.

However, having our desk so close to the pantry can make it easy to fall into unhealthy habits. The good news is that maintaining a healthy diet while working from home is absolutely possible. We’ve shared our tips on how you can make healthy eating at home work for you.

Drink water

Water is an important part of your diet and many of us aren’t drinking enough of it in our day-to-day lives. Oftentimes, when people feel hungry or start to crave food, it’s actually because they are thirsty. So drink up your water!

Drinking water provides our body and mind with many benefits, including improving our skin, preventing dehydration-related headaches and aiding our digestion.

You don’t have to worry about measuring your water intake (unless you want to), but rather try to simply be aware of how much water you drink throughout the day. Always have a water bottle or full glass nearby so that you can take a few gulps before turning to food.

Caffeine-free herbal tea is a great alternative to water for keeping you hydrated. We recommend mixing in a teaspoon of our natural anti-inflammatory Turmeric Blend with your next lemon or ginger tea.

Stock your fridge and pantry with real food

By eating a healthy, balanced diet loaded with nutritious food, we feel more energised and are more productive in our work. Not only does plant-based food help to keep us full and satiated for longer, but it also produces the mental clarity we need to focus on the job at hand.

The food you eat can either negatively or positively influence your mental health, which is why it’s important to make the healthy food choice as often as you can.

Do this by keeping your fridge stocked with fruits and vegetables, your pantry packed with nuts, seeds and spices, and your Flourish health and prebiotic supplements front and centre.

Plan or prep your meals ahead of time so that when lunch rolls around, you’ve got a healthy meal ready to go.

Keep healthy snacks on hand

Working from home makes mindless snacking a very easy habit to fall into, but it isn’t a good one – especially when the snacks you’re munching on are sugary, fried, high in salt or carb-heavy.

Being so close to the pantry doesn’t help with the mindless munching. Take matters into your own hands and ensure that the snacks being stocked in your home are healthy ones. It’s much easier for you to reach for fruit, carrot sticks or protein bars if they are the only available option.

We love to have a mix of sweet and savoury treats on hand for snacking, such as almonds, apples and homemade sweet potato crisps. We’ve listed some of our favourite snacks below.

It’s all about making the right food choices

Staying healthy while working from home comes down to a simple choice. You can either eat food that helps you flourish or consume unhealthy food that doesn’t (we recommend the former!).

By incorporating these healthy food tips into your daily routine, working from home will be a much healthier and energising experience for all.

5 Natural Ways To Reduce Stress

Posted on by flourishweb

Living in a modern, fast-paced and technologically-advanced world has a bigger impact on stress than you might think. There are numerous variables that can lead to stress, including workload, home environment, social interactions and even the technology we so love.

Because stress can negatively affect your health – from high blood sugar and a suppressed immune system to autoimmune conditions and depression – it’s important to adopt practices into your life that may help to reduce your stress levels.

1. Eat a natural, anti-inflammatory diet

When you’re under a lot of stress, your body produces higher levels of cortisol, the stress-response hormone designed to alert you to danger. Too much cortisol in the body for an extended period of time may cause inflammation.

To counteract your body’s inflammatory response to stress, start eating natural anti-inflammatory foods like spinach, avocado, berries, dark chocolate and turmeric.

Made with 100% natural plant-based whole foods, our Turmeric Blend is specifically formulated to reduce inflammation in the body and ease the joint pain and other symptoms associated with it.

2. Do gentle exercise

Exercise is a good way to relieve stress, but the type of exercise you’re doing matters. High intensity workouts actually contribute to raising your cortisol levels – which, for a stressed-out body already filled with the stuff, isn’t good.

Gentle exercise like walking, yoga or moderate cycling won’t increase your cortisol levels, but it may still help to relieve your stress and even release endorphins to make sure you feel good both physically and mentally afterwards.

An interesting aside, just 8,000 steps per day helps to keep your metabolism burning.

3. Breathe deeply and meditate

Being under a lot of stress may make you feel overwhelmed during your waking hours and even while you sleep. To combat the overwhelming effects of stress, try introducing a calming meditation practice to your daily routine.

Apps like Headspace offer guided meditation which may be a helpful tool for those of you who are new to the practice or just like having a soothing voice in your ear. Yoga and focused breathing are also forms of meditation that may help to reduce your stress.

4. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep

Sleep plays a key role in improving your general health and wellbeing. If you’re not getting enough zzz’s each night, you are more likely to become stressed during the daylight hours.

People need roughly 7-9 hours of sleep per night in order to feel rested and ready for the day ahead. To help prevent stress, make sure you’re getting enough sleep and giving your body the time it needs to rest.

5. Minimise your screen time

As much as we don’t want to hear it – and especially during a time when watching tv, scrolling through socials or reading the news might be your only form of entertainment – too much screen time may cause and exacerbate stress.

Not only is too much screen time attributed to stress, but it may also lead to long-term problems with vision, sleep impairment, negative rewiring of the brain, and a heightened experience of anxiety or depression.

Reduce your stress naturally

While your stress levels may be directly influenced by your workplace or personal life, there are a number of ways that you can work towards reducing the pressure you feel naturally.

By exercising regularly, eating right and taking time away from the screen to breathe, you may be in a much healthier headspace and able to better combat any stress that comes your way.

Is Chicory Root A Good Alternative For Coffee?

Posted on by flourishweb

What is chicory root coffee?

Chicory root coffee is exactly as it sounds: a coffee-like drink, but one made of chicory root instead of coffee beans. Following the same creation process as normal coffee, you can make the drink by roasting, grounding and brewing chicory root.

While it does taste similar to coffee, the chicory root drink has its own unique flavour. It is often described as woody, nutty and earthy – which makes sense, considering that the roots come from out of the earth itself!

The different types

There are two main kinds of chicory root coffee. One contains caffeine, and the other goes without. Straight-up chicory root coffee is brewed using only the root itself. Any added flavours or other ingredients will be free from caffeine, too.

Caffeinated chicory root coffee is made by mixing roasted, ground coffee with roasted, ground chicory root during the brewing process. Though both are tasty, we would recommend drinking the caffeine-free version if you want to go for the healthier option.

Health benefits of chicory root coffee

Chicory root has many health benefits, which include aiding digestion, feeding the good bacteria in your gut, and improving bowel movements. Drinking chicory root coffee has its added benefits, too.

  • Caffeine-free: So long as you’re opting for the caffeine-free version, chicory root coffee is naturally caffeine-free. Without the added caffeine stimulant, you won’t be left feeling more wired than you’d bargained for.
  • Prebiotic fibre: Chicory root is packed with inulin, a powerful prebiotic fibre that feeds the good bacteria in your gut to keep your gut microbiome healthy and balanced.
  • Digestion: Trading in your daily coffee for a chicory root alternative will work wonders for your digestive system, making bowel movements a much more pleasant experience.
  • Natural anti-inflammatory: Studies have shown that taking chicory root could help to reduce inflammation. Just like an apple, a chicory root coffee a day could help to keep the doctor away!

How to make chicory root coffee

If you’re making chicory root from scratch, it can be a bit of a process. There’s always the option to buy it premade, but making it yourself is doable, too! You’ll need a coffee grinder to do so, and if you’re planning to mix it with regular coffee, you’d best get some of that as well.

Make sure you’ve washed, cleaned and thoroughly dried out the roots before cutting them up into small cubes and laying them out on a baking tray. Cook the chicory root at 180 degrees celsius until golden brown.

After taking it out of the oven, let the chicory root cool entirely. Only once it has cooled can you put the cubes in the coffee grinder to grind it down to the same consistency as you would get with coffee.

If you want to mix your chicory root grinds with regular coffee, now’s the time! You can experiment with different amounts of each to find the flavour that best suits your taste.

The final step is brewing your chicory root coffee, which can be done using a French press, general coffee machine, or the classic pour-over. It’s your creation, so you can drink it however you like!

Chicory root coffee might not be for everyone

Chicory root coffee might not be for everyone. If it’s not your style, you can always try our Prebiotic Blend to get all of your daily chicory root benefits instead.

Packed full of nutrients from natural ingredients and with a chicory root base, our Prebiotic Blend will help to keep your gut, and your body, in balance. 21

4 Reasons To Choose A Plant-Based Diet

Posted on by flourishweb

Vegan vs. whole food plant-based: what’s the difference?

While a plant-based diet and veganism might look like the same thing on the surface, there are some notable differences.

Neither veganism nor a plant-based diet includes animal products, and both advocate for ethics, the environment and general health and wellbeing.

Despite having cut out animal products, a vegan diet can still include processed foods and refined sugars. A plant-based diet, on the other hand, only includes foods that come from a whole source, like whole grains (e.g. oats or buckwheat) and naturally occuring sugars found in foods like fruit or honey.

Making the move to a plant-based diet has numerous benefits

1. Invest in your health

Eating a plant-based, whole food diet eradicates unhealthy options and leaves only the good stuff – fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes and whole grains. Replacing processed foods, refined sugars and refined grains with these healthy alternatives will work wonders for your body.

A plant-based diet can help to relieve the symptoms of chronic pain, reverse fatty liver disease, reduce inflammation and improve gut health. Studies have also shown that with better gut health comes improved mental health. It’s a win-win!

2. Save the animals

Following a plant-based diet saves the lives of thousands of animals both near and far. Did you know that every vegan saves 200 animals a year? Although veganism is born from a love of animals whereas the choice to go plant-based usually stems from health reasons, both significantly reduce the damaging effects of the meat and dairy industries.

These industries, like any other, run on the basis of supply and demand. With less people eating animal products and by-products, demand decreases, and the destruction of wildlife habitats is slowed, endangered species are saved, and animal cruelty is lessened.

3. Join a thriving community

With many making the move to a plant-based diet, there is a growing community of people living, promoting and connecting through this healthier lifestyle.

Joining this community will have you connecting with people you might not have had the chance to meet otherwise. With groups across social media and restaurants specifically catered to plant-based diets, connecting with people will be easy – and delicious!

4. Reduce your carbon footprint

Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to the environment’s decline, negatively impacting climate change, deforestation, water and land use, and waste. Both vegan and whole food plant-based diets reduce the world’s overall energy consumption, carbon emissions and deforestation.

By ‘going green’ and eating only plant-based whole foods, you can help to revitalise and restore the planet to a healthier state. Buy organic wherever possible and if you have the space, grow your own vegetables. The earth will thank you for it.

A plant-based diet isn’t just a diet – it’s a lifestyle

A whole food, plant-based diet is better for the planet, better for the animals, and better for you. From reducing your carbon footprint to saving animals, fighting disease naturally and opening your world up to new people and communities, the benefits of cutting out animal products are endless.

For a positive change that lasts, switch to a whole food, plant-based diet today.

Staying Healthy During COVID-19

Posted on by flourishweb

Making the most of being stuck at home

The effects of the COVID-19 outbreak are being felt on a global scale. School closures, empty supermarkets, self-isolation requirements and the transition into remote work is a reality for many of us.

While staying at home may feel like an intimidating thing, it doesn’t have to be. There are many ways to stay healthy and positive during this time of self-isolation.

Ways to stay healthy while practicing self-isolation and social distancing

Food

A healthy gut microbiome makes for a healthier you. Eating nutritious food when stuck at home will help to keep both your mind and your body healthy.

On your next trip to the supermarket – whether you are going yourself or having someone deliver your food to you – plan out the groceries you need in advance. This will help to avoid panic-buying and ensure that you’re only getting what you need.

When buying grains, canned goods or frozen food, choose those that are mostly (or entirely) unprocessed and low in unhealthy ingredients like added sugars, additives, and preservatives.

Head to the fresh produce section and pick up an assortment of fruits and vegetables – there is plenty you can chop up and keep in the freezer for a few months at a time.

Turmeric & Ginger

Turmeric and ginger contain many beneficial properties that could help to keep you healthy while you’re isolating at home.

One study shows that fresh ginger could possibly contribute to fending off a viral infection, while another suggests that the curcumin in turmeric may help to inhibit airway inflammation. These spices also both act as a natural anti-inflammatory, which is another one of the many health benefits of turmeric and ginger.

Drinking ginger tea or adding turmeric to your meals is a great way to incorporate these nutritious spices into your everyday diet.

Please note that turmeric and ginger will not protect you from COVID-19, but they will help to keep you in optimal health.

Exercise

While being stuck at home can make sitting around and being inactive an easy thing to do, exercising where you can is important.

If you are not sick and don’t have to self-quarantine, you can still go for a walk or a cycle outside, so long as you practice social-distancing. However, if you’d rather stay home, there are plenty of ways to keep active.

You can clear some space in the living room, lay down a towel if you don’t have a mat, and follow along with a yoga tutorial on YouTube. If you need an alternative to weights, you can use full water or milk bottles.

There are also many exercises you can do that don’t require any equipment at all, including squats, wall-sits, planks, mountain climbers, sit-ups, push-ups, star jumps – the list goes on. Gardening or cleaning are both excellent ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine.

Cleaning also doubles as an important hygiene practice – wiping down high-touch objects like light switches, doorknobs and taps is a good way to keep bad germs out of the house. Don’t forget to clean frequently used items, like your phone, wallet, and keys, too!

Keep your mind and body active, healthy and positive

Practicing a healthy lifestyle while stuck at home is something that all of us can do. An active mind and body make for a healthy person, which is an important way to be during this time.

There are some pretty fun ways to keep yourself and your family entertained, too! You can read books, cook, bake, do puzzles, catch up on TV shows, craft and have movie marathons. The list is endless!

Keeping healthy and maintaining a positive attitude will give you the strength to help others in need and see this through together as a community.

Lifestyle and Arthritis

Posted on by Tim Ashton

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a condition that causes pain and stiffness within joints. There are over 100 different types of arthritis, each with a slightly different presentation that involve different parts of the body.

The most common forms of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is mainly due to wear and tear. It is caused by joints having to work too hard. Think of it like the brake pads in your car – after time and distance, they begin to deteriorate and need replacing. Luckily, you are able to take your car to the mechanic to have your brakes replaced. Unfortunately, that is not as easily done if a joint wears out. While some joints can be surgically replaced, this is only done as a last resort.

Osteoarthritic joints cause pain and stiffness, and, as a result, people who have this condition can find simple tasks that they once performed easily, now painful and tiring. The pain is caused by low-grade inflammation, and this is where the Flourish turmeric blend comes into play. Take 1 teaspoon 1 to 3 times a day, or until the pain has reduced. Then take 1 teaspoon per day for maintenance.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune problem.  The immune system sees the joint tissues as non-self, or as a foreign tissue that needs to be removed from the body. In RA, the joints are often swollen, red and very painful. The pain can be unrelenting, and oftentimes there are many accompanying issues.

The treatment regime will often be anti-immune system medications, which try to dampen down the response by the immune system. Whilst these drugs are often extremely helpful, they are not without nasty side-effects, especially to the liver. This is where our daily detox blend can help. This will help support the liver and protect the liver cells from damage. As for the inflammation, our turmeric blend is a wonderful product to accompany any other treatments. When treating RA, we recommend taking a minimum of 2 teaspoons per day: 1 teaspoon with breakfast, and another at night with dinner. If there is no significant reduction in pain, try adding another teaspoon with lunch.

Foods that Harm

  • Gluten
  • Alcohol
  • Processed and Packaged Food
  • Sugar
  • Red Meat
  • Bacon
  • Dairy
  • Fried Foods
  • Tobacco
  • Preservatives
  • Corn Oil

Foods that Heal

  • Green Leafy Vegetables
  • Ginger
  • Turmeric
  • Broccoli
  • Garlic
  • Walnuts
  • Avocado
  • Berries
  • Cherries
  • Red Grapes
  • Kiwi Fruit

Exercise

Exercise helps tremendously, also, and is just as important as diet. Whilst it may be painful to move, it is important to find an exercise regime that you are able to maintain so as not to loosen the condition of the surrounding muscles. The stronger you are, the better your body is able to cope. Swimming and walking are two easy exercises to incorporate into your daily living.

While we know our supplements can dramatically help in managing both types of arthritis, we strongly recommend overhauling your complete lifestyle through food and exercise, especially when treating RA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Holiday Splurging

Posted on by Tim Ashton

80/20 Rule

Maintaining your health during the Christmas/New Year period is no small feat. While there’s nothing wrong with letting your hair down this silly season, keep your Flourish supplements close (especially the organic turmeric powder, beetroot powder, and chicory root prebiotic blend), and take part in a liver cleanse (using our 21 Day Cleanse) afterwards if you plan on splurging.

I am often asked by my patients if they need to be plant-based 100% of the time.  My answer is usually long and drawn out, but the crux of it is, only if you want to stay well.

However, at Christmas/holiday time,  if you wish to consume all the festive fare, then adopt an 80/20 rule.  Make 80% of your plate plant-based and 20% whatever you fancy.

Many then do this, only to feel terrible the next day, or they become bloated within hours of eating all those ‘yummy’ naughty foods that they haven’t had for many months.   Many people find that the symptoms of their health condition will reappear; this will depend upon how long you are ‘naughty’.

Our gut microbiome can change within a twenty-four hour time period, hence why feeling bad again, can happen so quickly.

After years of eating a plant-based regime, I now can’t face the usual Christmas traditional food, I know how I am going to react and feel, so it is an easy choice.  This year I am spending time experimenting with a fabulous main meal for Christmas day, and I will share the recipe once it is perfect.

Most of my patients’ need to find out for themselves, so I usually say knock yourself out on Christmas day, let your hair down, only to be emailed with a ‘HELP’ request the day or week later.

 

Natural Detox

So what if you do let yourself go, how do you recover?

The best way –

(1)  Keep taking the flourish products throughout the festive season, especially the daily detox beetroot powder.   If you do have a bloated moment, a teaspoon of the prebiotic blend with a little turmeric blend and that horrible feeling will go away, usually within 30 – 40 minutes.

(2)  Recover using the 21 day cleanse which is up on our website.  Or at least the first 7 days.   You will need at least the 7 days, to get things back to normal and feel like your healthy self once more, but again this will depend upon how long you have been celebrating.  The full 21 days will give you a much better and more complete outcome, and this is what I always recommend.

Wishing you all a very happy festive/holiday season.
