Poolside Lobster pasta (wheatfree)

Poolside Lobster pasta (wheatfree). Would be rude not to! 
Lobster with gluten free, wheat free buckwheat and sweet potato pasta, smashed avocado with chillies, wilted spinach and olive oil.
Yummy and healthy.

There’s a heatwave coming! Keep hydrated

There's a heatwave coming! 
Keep hydrated.  Drinking 2 litres of water a day is important for a healthy body and hydrated youthful skin too. 
With thanks to @rory_photo for the photo of me in my garden from last Summer.

Waking up the glutes

Waking up the glutes.

When in rehab after a knee ligaments injury and little or no exercise for weeks- it's best to get the basic core strength muscles activated before launching back into the same advanced levels of exercise as before.

Repetitions increase daily.

The instructions are in the video voice-over together with my actions. With thanks to Tessa @bh_beyondhealth

Physio exercise for rehab

Physio exercise for rehab.

When you have a knee injury, unable to exercise as usual, and you're  hyper-mobile, muscles quickly switch off especially the glute, core and hamstrings. 
It's starting over again with the most basic fitness exercises.

To kick start muscle memory and functionality, tie a stretchy band knotted at the ends over a door frame, and pull down.
Then weight transfer from leg to leg and lift knee. The action of pulling on the bands will help switch on and engage core and glutes.

A Thai Laksa prawn curry

A Thai Laksa prawn curry.

When you fancy comforting warming carb-type food instead try a healthy version that nourishes with the warmth coming from chillies and spices rather than starchy or sugary carbs.

This is a Thai prawn Laksa with broccoli, basil leaves, pal choi, a few rice noodles, big fat juicy prawns in a thick coconut broth flavoured with chillies, and Thai spices including lemongrass, galangal, fish sauce, coriander and a pinch of palm sugar etc.
Yummy. 
Filling, warming and healthy.
