As a Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach I help people make better food and lifestyle choices so that whatever their starting base they can live fuller, more energetic, happier, longer lives. However I always stress "How we eat is as important as what we eat". Many of us with busy lives – children, caring, careers, studies, training – eat on the run, standing up, in the car, at the desk, in front of the TV, using the smart phone or writing articles for a magazine. So why does that

As an alternative to my early normal morning coffee, I started a new routine, part of which is hot water and lemon. I squeeze a half a lemon and include some of the fibre of the fruit and top up with hot water. I normally do the squeezing the night before and leave the glass ready to be topped up with hot water. TOP TIP Drink through a straw to protect your teeth. I use Bamboo straws I bought on a visit to Altrincham Market but Ebay is hard to beat for non plastic options.
