It is the million dollar question each day! Well, let me share with you what I made last night……I had lentils (Puy) in my pantry and I boiled them with some carrots and celery for a bit, then I turned them off and went to pick up kids etc. I picked up some nice salmon from my favourite fish guy while I was out. So once home, I put some homemade parsley pesto (parsley from my garden, recipe to follow) onto the salmon and grilled it on the BBQ. I reheated the lentils until they were cooked properly, then served them up and placed a piece of salmon on top. I made a green salad with lots of vegetables to go on the side. Mmm good!! Easy and everyone loved it! Try it…..

1. Boost your intake of inflammation-soothing omega oils by eating oily fish, such as fresh tuna, salmon, herrings, mackerel, and sardines, as often as you can, and incorporating seeds and nuts into your diet.

2. Eat little and often. The best snacks to nibble on between meals include fresh fruits, nuts, toasted seeds, and small tubs of yogurt.

3. Avoid salty foods, which aggravate fluid retention, and also overly sweet foods, If the urge to comfort yourself with a dose of chocolate is overwhelming, carrying a small bottle of vanilla essence around with you and having a sniff whenever the craving hits really helps to satisfy your chocolate lust, without saddling your body with excess calories.

4. Reduce your consumption of alcohol and caffeine-containing drinks, better still, cut them out altogether.
