Our Relationship with Food

Our relationship with food is a mixed one. For some of us it is simply a necessity, while for others it is an obsession.

Like all things, food should be viewed in moderation. Unless we have allergies, there is no reason why we cannot have a little of what we fancy, as long as it is balanced out with healthy, essential food, such as fruit/veg/proteins and appropriate carbs.

Many people cut out salt completely, unaware that omitting salt completely from their diet can result in an underactive thyroid (table salt contains iodine, essential for a healthy thyroid gland). Alittle salt now and again will maintain your gland's health.

Fat is also essential in our diet, nutritionists recommending 20% of our daily diet to contain healthy fats (vegetable oils, such as canola, olive and sunflower seed oils). Avocado's contain extremely healthy oils.

Be good to yourself, try not to omit essential foods and have fun.

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin
