…EAT FAT?
Oh yes, you read right. Fat is back on the menu and we’re not just talking oily fish, nuts, and avocado. We’re talking egg yolks, butter, and dripping. Saturated fats are important, too. It’s not about the type; more about quality and provenance. Try to go for naturally produced fat from naturally fed, naturally reared animals, fat that is unrefined and organic.

…DIGITAL DETOX?
Every night, we turn off our phones and laptops, and keep our bedrooms tech-free.

…ENJOY LUNCH AWAY FROM YOUR DESK?
Forget ‘Al Desko’. Get outside to catch some much-needed vitamin D, look up at the sky, and smile for instant feel-good vibes. Get away from the screen, stretch your legs, and take in a change of scenery. Give yourself time to enjoy nourishing your body. Savour that flavour!

…MAKE VEGETABLES YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND?
Think of them as the main event as opposed to a side dish or afterthought. It’s as simple as making ‘pasta’ from courgettes or cucumber ‘noodle’ salads. The Hemsley + Hemsley spiraliser turns vegetables into long, spaghetti-like spirals in minutes. Available at www.hemsleyandhemsley.com
