After giving up refined sugar over 6 years ago she saw a significant change in both her physical and mental health. Jenna became fascinated by the way food impacts the body and the mind and she’s here to share with you some helpful tips to get you started on that pathway to health.
WHAT IS THE PALEO WAY?
You may have heard of the paleo diet. However, I like to refer to paleo as more of a lifestyle than a diet; it shouts longevity rather than a short-term fix.
The Paleo lifestyle is based around the idea that we should stick to the foods our ancestors would have eaten and focuses on nutritionally optimising our minds and our bodies rather than placing all our efforts on foods which may not adhere to the paleo way. The Paleo lifestyle focuses on eating a large amount of veggies, fruits (mainly berries), raw nuts and seeds, eggs, fish and meats.

Is Sugar Becoming The New Fat?
Fat has been demonised since the 1970s when the US made hasty recommendations that people should reduce their fat intake. Cardiovascular deaths were rising - something had to be done. Supermarkets and food companies jumped on board offering low and reduced fat products. A few decades later, we are now more overweight than ever, with type 2 diabetes on the rise and cardiovascular disease remaining the number one killer worldwide.
