This week on The Wellness Scoop we’re answering your questions, from the small daily habits that make the biggest difference to how we eat, to whether it’s really worth swapping white pasta and rice for wholegrain versions, especially for little ones.
We’re also digging into the sudden rise of chicory root fibre in high-fibre products, what it actually does in the body, and why it can be a gut-health hero for some people but a nightmare for others.
Plus, how to talk to kids about nutrition without creating fear around food, the clever trick to boost vitamin D in mushrooms, and a brilliant listener tip on the growing smartphone-free childhood movement.
And as always, a few personal updates, including the gratitude ritual that’s been helping Ella dial down overwhelm at the end of each day.
Recommendations:
Ella - Gratitude conversations at the dinner table. Go round and everyone says something they feel grateful for from their day, and feel the overwhelm melt away!
Rhi - Fearne Cottons', Scripted
Fran (one of our amazing listeners!) - The Smartphone Free Childhood movement
