How to keep a balanced diet in lockdown | Food tips for lockdown feat. Susie Thomson

We are still in the pandemic and in France we have just gone into another lockdown. For many 2020 was a hard year health and diet wise as gyms shut, restaurants closed and socialising was seriously curbed. That's why we decided to bump forward this episode and run it as a nutrition and health mini series to inspire, motivate and share as much as possible and get ourselves moving and grooving again! Please listen in to Susie Thompson with some great tips on how to boost your meals and get that immunity topped up.

WE TALK WITH SUSIE THOMSON

She shares her childhood from the West of Scotland and what then brought her into the world of nutrition, into the yacht industry to the Var in the South of France.

Life is full of sliding doors moments and it's fascinating to hear all the doors that Susie considered and took.

Alcohol Lockdown brings challenges like a change in routine and we chat about alcohol and how to detox and get better balance to improve sleep, lose weight and generally feel better.

Skin Brushing dry body brushing- make it an atomic habit . You do this before getting wet. Brushing brings nutrient rich freshly oxygenated blood to the skin’s surface, which gives it a better tone and elasticity. Dry brushing stimulates the lymphatic system.

1 - Start at the feet in the direction of your heart

2- Quick flicks are better rather than long strokes .. start at the feet move up to the knees (don’t forget behind them - where the lymph nodes are), knees to hips, over the bum, hands to shoulders.

3 - On the stomach do circular motions and back too

4 - Make the pressure strong enough to get the circulation going and stimulating without hurting.

5 - Try to find a natural brush with natural fibres.
