Today we hear from Jenna Hope, registered nutritionist and founder of Jenna Hope Nutrition. Working with businesses and individuals, Jenna helps implement beneficial nutrition strategies, through a combination of talks, presentations and workshops, to improve people’s well being, productivity, sleep, stress management and mental health.
Today, Jenna shares her advice on the most common nutritional issues that founders can face and how to incorporate healthy eating routines into your working day.
Jenna Hope’s Advice:
- Eat mindfully. Pay attention to eating your food which will help it to be digested properly, allow nutrients to be fully absorbed into the body and make you feel more satisfied
- Reduce your reliance on caffeine, which can make you feel more stressed, affect your sleep and seduce you into consuming more sugar
- Diet / exercise / sleep: these are all important and interrelated
- Try to make three better dietary choices each day!
- Eat more probiotics (yoghurt, kefir etc.) and prebiotics (onions, leeks, bananas, chickpeas etc.)
- Hydration: make sure you keep up with water, using an app if necessary to remind you. It can often be the cause of you feeling hungry
- Try to have 70g of protein per day (important for skin/hair/brain/hormone production) and try to make sure that 50% of what is on your plate is veg or fruit
- If you’re snacking, make sure it’s protein or fibre - this makes you feel fuller (try oatcakes + cream cheese/nuts/hummus/yoghurt/roasted chickpeas/a boiled egg)
- Research quick meals in your local supermarket so that when you’re in a hurry you know exactly where to go and make the right choice. Also batch cook when you have the time
- Spices and herbs are not just good for you, they make food more exciting; it’s important to enjoy your food
- If you eat breakfast make sure it’s healthy - what you have is as important as whether you have it
- It’s a good idea to have your evening meal fairly early because sleep is more difficult if you are digesting; if you have to eat late, make it a light meal
- ‘The Optimum Nutrition Bible’ by Patrick Holford is a classic on the subject
