One of the biggest concerns for me, ironically, whilst working in the fitness industry, is actually eating on time, and getting proper & balanced nutrition into my system. Let’s face it, I’m ridiculously busy, running around and looking after my family’s needs first, especially my 2.5 year old, I’m left with little time for myself. […]
The latest curve ball Luca has thrown at us, is refusing to eat. She used to be an easy baby to feed – 20 minutes tops to finish lunch or dinner. But one fine day she decided to stop opening her mouth for food. I guess it’s because our baby is growing up and with […]
It’s been a trying week. Me, down with the flu. Bubs, sprouting new teeth. And can you believe she will be ONE this month? Unbelievable.. where did the time go? Luca has morphed into a toddler before my very eyes. The infant is gone, and I kind of miss the innocence in her eyes, now […]
Two fabulous Protein Smoothies I had the pleasure of sharing with the running crew of the Adidas You are Where you Run event…. Recovery is most certainly just as important as the workout itself, but usually the most neglected part by athletes. Muscle tearing that occurs during vigorous exercise needs to mend before the body […]
Luca is nearly 11 months old. She has got almost 8 teeth now and is growing fast. Help! My baby is becoming a toddler fast before my very eyes! Her appetite is also growing and after testing her out on vegetable porridge for a few weeks, we are now transitioning to protein based porridge starting […]
No time to shop and plan nutrition for the family? This used to be one of my major concerns.. till Kunyit Grocer. Kunyit Grocer will send organic vegetables and fruits (both imported and local) straight to your doorstep.. all you need to do, is order it. Majority of the items are organic. So far, I’ve […]
One of the best things I discovered this year for Luca, is SqueeezeMeBaby (SMB). For busy mothers with infants who are entering 6 month of age and upwards, and about to experiment with semi-solids, SMB is fantastic. The SMB concept is all about getting superfoods, into tiny pouches for the benefit of your growing baby’s nutrition. […]
Being a long distance runner, aches and pains in the muscles are an inevitable.. A great way to treat muscle spasm naturally is with celery seeds. I like to add these seeds to my early morning juice but if you can’t get the seeds, the pharmacy sells these in capsule form too. Here are 10 […]
Today I want to talk about the Moringa plant. My Indian friends use it regularly in their cooking (stir fried leaves, and seeds used in dhal) and it’s got tons of nutritious properties, but I want to highlight a few that’s important to running mothers! Firstly, a big energy boost.. yes sir indeed! And secondly, […]
I love watermelon. Heck I love most fruits really, and thank God I married a man who’s as mad about fruits as I am. If you’re pregnant, the benefits are even more fabulous. Watermelon eases heartburn and reduces swelling; its high water content (92 percent) and fruit sugars can help alleviate morning sickness and dehydration; […]
