Festive favourties to nourish your body and elevate your mood with Kat Bright our Resident Nutritionist
The festive season is upon us and, while indulgence is part of the magic, why not make room for foods that bring both joy and wellness? Here’s a quick guide to a few festive favourites that nourish your body and elevate your mood.

Brussel sprouts – whether you have a love or hate relationship with these mini cabbages, they are rich in fibre and help to keep your gut microbiome happy. Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C they also contribute to glowing skin. Roast them with a drizzle of olive oil and add to salads or just slice thinly and add to salads raw.

Pomegranates - the jewel of the season. They’re known to boost collagen production giving your skin a radiant glow. Sprinkle them on salads or your breakfast.

Satsumas - these easy to peel citrus fruits are a rich source of vitamin C which helps support your immune system as well as brighten your skin. Snack on them after a meal. We always place one in the bottom of our stocking on Christmas Eve.

Red cabbage – a staple of the Christmas dinner table, its fibre helps to support gut health. It’s also packed with anthocyanins which have anti-inflammatory properties. Try it braised with apples with your Sunday roast.

Wishing you well this festive season – for both your plate and your mood.
